trying really hard to stop disliking my art. on one hand i've been looking back at the stuff ive done the past few days and it's!! really good!!!
but it's not enough, somehow. and i'm always striving for more, and i know this not-good-enough feeling will go away, but man im struggling right now
can't i get past the whole self loathing part and get to the part where i just make art??? //:
anyways a wip that i might or might not finish. just a study.

I feel that way a lot with my music. I feel constantly inadequate no matter how much people like what I make. I think it comes to the point where I'm going to have to start making things that call myself out on how I feel, and trivialize the problem like a parody of myself in order to get over it. It's really something that if you continue to trudge through, I think eventually the problem sorts itself out in the background. I hope you start feeling better, I absolutely adore your art even if I don't comment a lot <3
You are so sweet, thank you :')) Honestly I know it's a fleeting feeling, and I try to look at these (for lack of better word?) episodes as just a time of improvement. Maybe I'm seeing things that need to be fixed and am growing as an artist, and eventually I'll figure out what that is exactly and can continue on my journey!!
ALSO you make music?! Do you post it anywhere?? I'd love to listen!!

I don't post a lot, but when I do it's on soundcloud for now! I just got together enough gear to make a mini-studio in my house so I'm taking a little time to figure it out. Here's the last thing I wrote before all this: https://soundcloud.com/svethlane/ch.....e-out-original
And here's a cover I did recently after starting to use my studio: https://soundcloud.com/svethlane/the-gold-cover
I don't normally post this stuff, I get nervous what people think :x

Huge mood. Regardless, your art I can spot from a mile a way.
I think what we get frustrated on is not really breaking out of our comfort zones, ya know? It's one thing to be confident in knowing what you're good at, yet on the same swing of that double edged sword, we can also find our self not "allowing" us to explore (doing something so out in left field with own art etc) or, we just don't do our "studying". It's an Oooooddddddd 24/7 battle I can relate to well. When you wanna enjoy your art but the struggle in that alone is far too real haha. People saying "NO ITS SO GOOD WOW YADDA YADDA" and you're just sitting their smiling at such nice words but inside screaming as you wish you felt what they did at your own art.
