I Need to Tell You Something
I feel it's important.
On this platform, we have a lot of content police. People who judge content, often disrespectfully. We see it everywhere. Whiners, for the most part. Their personal expectations of what a blogger should be doing here are often not being met.
Their opinions don't fucking matter, at all. Those people are high maintenance and cannot be pleased, ever. Screw them.
I'm not of that crowd. I feel as if people can be as creative as they want to be with how they represent themselves and their offerings. If I don't like something, I don't like it. Simple as that. That doesn't automatically make their offering worthless or even bad. It's just something I don't like and guess what! My opinion doesn't matter, and I know this. So, when it comes to judging content, for the most part, I keep it to myself.
I Need to Show You Something
I feel this is important, too.
Eleven Images
All produced by me, within the past fifteen days.
If you see one of my posts and think something like, "That didn't take long to write, there's no effort here, this is a shit post," but at the same time see one of those images at the top; please realize those images do not produce themselves. I'm not simply downloading an image from the internet and placing it above a few words.
All of those images were produced from scratch. That means a blank digital canvas, over the span of a few hours, turns into those images, because I'm moving my hand around and making it look that way.
Some People Like It, Some Don't
I'm fine with that.
Artists don't expect everyone to like their work. If they do expect everyone to like their work, they have brain issues. Something is wrong with them.
Three times in the past week and enough times since I've been here, I've been accused of being lazy because some of my posts are short and sweet. I'm not asking anyone to enjoy my work, but please don't call me lazy or think I'm slacking it. I'm not shit posting and raping the benefits of a few auto votes. I have to work for everything I earn here, and it's always been like that. Scroll down through my blog. See all those colors? I made all of those images. You're looking at thousands of hours of work, that's not even counting the writing inside those blog posts, and some of those posts have more images inside!
I See It Everywhere!
And so have you.
All that blogger did was share an image and a few words. Grumble. Grumble. Grumble.
If that artist or photographer published a post that includes their work and only a few words, so what!
They know how much work went into producing that image. Once they're done and press the post button, just know, they most likely spent a few hours working on that post. The words are only a small part of it. Please try to remember to look beyond the surface before you judge.
