Since I make art and stuff... If you want my art, go follow me on bluesky. It's way friendlier to images and videos, and has a larger community

I don't really struggle with standard ideas of self-worth, like I don't worry about my face or worry that I don't deserve friends, or think my social media posts are preachy or pretentious.
But I do struggle with with the self worth of creative projects; I can't help but second guess myself when I try to make any art or overthink my ideas when I have an idea for a story.
It really sucks because I know there is a balance of proper self-reflection to judge the objective merits of a project but I either overcommit to something that isn't there yet, and get burned when I finally realize that, or fail to get anything off the ground because I view it as meaningless before it begins.
The real art is the self expression! You can't have a perfect piece, or a piece which isn't derivative of something else! You can't write a perfect story until you have a few bad ones under your belt! Stay resilient!
We all hate AI but it still really sucks that you can no longer assume images were made by people
Maybe the real entertainment is the indie animations available for free on YouTube we made along the way
pretty fun that no matter if paramount or netflix buys warner bros, it'll be guaranteed to make the entertainment industry somehow even worse and consolidated
