Hiii!! I'd like to ask a question to all the artists that are reading this ;-; 💛

I'm trying to be a full-time artist, and I've started this year to work ONLY with my art, and pay all the bills and stuff... I got very sick this year (and I still am), therefore I had to work harder to create new things and also to update some old works.... In this time I've done some adopts which 2 of them I passed for some bad experiences :c
The first one a person gave a good bid and won, then said that they couldn't afford right now due to a personal problem, and I totally get it, I understand when life gets in the way. So I offer to save the character for some time and the person agreed. The time came and the person said they wouldn't keep it.
Now, I'm having almost the same problem with my last adoptable character! Some people placed bids and one of them suddenly deleted the comment, AFTER had won the auction! So I asked and then the person just said they'd changed their mind... And the other person that also made a bid just ghosted me...
I mean...How do you deal with that? This is my job, my way to live! I literally DEPEND ON my arts :c How to deal with those situations? 🥺
