idk some guy

on a more personal note, writing my previous post really clarified something that has been at the back of my mind for a while now.

without going too deep into it, I have been defined by shame my whole life. I've known this for a long time, it's not news to me, but realising that my love for Drawfee is also centered around shame, just, crystallized it.

from this point on, my main goal in life will be to unlearn shame, this is the only way I can be happy.

Karina always inspired me to create. She used to joke about being relatable to teens, but that was genuinely so important to me. Being 13 and seeing an artist I admired being so open about her niche interests and OCs and things I was too ashamed to share with people IRL was one of the only things that kept me from giving up on art completely.
