Hey friends. I made this small piece to capture something Iโve been feeling for a while nowโand I just wanted to share a little about where Iโm at with art lately.
I started this account back in 2016, when art was everything to me. I didnโt care about reach or followersโjust the joy of creating. I used to draw every day, pouring my whole heart into every piece. And little by little, this page became a home for my art, my growth, and honestly, a small part of who I am.
Over time, Iโve shared so much of my journey here. Iโve watched myself grow, connected with incredible people, and felt proud of the progress I made. But somewhere along the way, things shifted. Real-life pressure slowly chipped away at the time and energy I used to give so freely to art.
And when I did find time, I was exhausted. Iโd open a blank canvas and justโฆ stare. Iโd scroll past othersโ work and feel stuck, like I was no longer moving. Like I didnโt recognize the artist in me anymore.
Itโs hard to admit, but growth here hasnโt been what it used to be. And while I know numbers donโt define worth, itโs tough when youโve poured your soul into something for years and it starts to feel invisible. With AI art rising, endless comparison, and the constant pressure to keep up, I have grown more and more exhaustedโฆ
I donโt think Iโve fallen out of love with art. I still feel itโsomewhere. Just buried under the weight of burnout, doubt, and noise. Right now, I donโt have the same fire I once did. And maybe thatโs okay. Maybe this is a season where I need to rest. To step back. And to trust that the spark will return when itโs ready.
So for now, Iโm taking a break. Not quitting. Not vanishing. Just giving myself space to breathe. I might still pop in with small updates or sketches when I feel like itโbut it wonโt be often. I just want to find joy in creating again, on my own terms.
If youโve been hereโwhether youโve supported me for years or quietly passed byโthank you. Youโve meant more to me than I could ever really put into words ๐ฉท๐ฉท
