I tend to worry so much about what others think that itās blocking my ability to be creative and live life in the way we were intended to.
What I pin on Pinterest, what music Iām listening to, what I post on Instagram, what posts I like (bc my name could come up on the āliked byā) all feels so performative And like each thing I do is very strategic and thought out bc Iām worried it will affect someoneās perception of me.
this translates to my art too. Before Iāve even created something, Iām thinking about how it will be perceived when itās done- will people like it? Is it unique enough? Etc
I want to start doing things on account of whether or not it makes me happy, or if I think it looks good
Thatās why I donāt plan on sharing my picture or name on this account. I like the idea that I can share ideas and thoughts and random things with no physical appearance or preconceived notion attatched
All of this is very obvious- like yes I shouldnāt be doing these things for approval and thatās not what these apps were created for. Just something I struggle with and wanted to share
