i really wanted to post a drawing so i was trying to draw, but then I started thinking about the feedback that I get whenever I post anything. usually what I get are about 5-7 favorites, and pretty much no comments, with the exception of a few of my watcher friends commenting nice things. The number of favorites is fine, I'm satisfied with that amount, but I wish I could talk to my watchers more, like I get that you might not like the post enough to even write a comment on it, but like I wish I could just talk to and become friends with some of you. Is that creepy? Eh, I just... want to express my gratitude for you watching me but like I don't want to go spamming people's pages with "THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS YOU'RE SO SWEET ILY THANKS" cause that's super weird and I already do that when anyone first watches me. I want to talk and be closer with my watchers and... I want to know what you guys like that I draw so that I can draw more of those things and satisfy you guys ;ovo jfc I'm sorry i write so many journals and take too long to get pictures up but I hope you'll understand, my motivation is kind of you guys and when I have no proof that any of you even see my art besides the "views" bar I get a little discouraged. "Did they not like it?" "What if they hated this and clicked out the second they saw it?" "Are these even my watchers looking at this? Do they really even open my notifications?" Those thoughts sometimes go through my head and so I tend to avoid the "views" bar now completely. omg I sound super pitiful right now I think I might've gone in too deep but all I want is to get to know you guys better and to draw what you guys want to see. basically "I'm lonely plz talk to me".. goodnight.

I think it's important to do what you like to do - it's like a reflection of your soul. I think it's also sweet how you do things for your watchers, etc.
I think we all feel the same way. I know I do. some of my work is not favorited when I put it up, or very few like it, and even fewer comment.
I like to see deviantart as a social network site with art that people add. 
 if you'd like to, you could talk to me. I'm willing for a conversation ^u^
