Sounds to me like you're suffering from an imposter syndrome here ;p
I wasn't expecting this post to draw a lot of 'attention' as the images are far from being colourful and bright. But I mainly wanted to tell the 'story' as a dialogue between the fighting parts of myself and how eventually they made 'friends.'
I know many great creatives and bright minds would start questioning their work and worth, And these people usually can't see how good their work is. Which is why it's important for me to notice great work and to have Curie curate them. It hurts me to see when some great works go unnoticed or unrewarded for the longest time. It's not 'cause they suck, it's simply 'cause they let their content speak to their audience- organically and that takes hell lots of time esp when you're not boosting your post with bid bots etc. I won't encourage bid-botting all the way 'cause then we can't curate you within the 24 hours. But one thing's for sure. Keep creating contents from different angle and do what you're doing now :)
You have a different take on photography and I find your pics vsco-like. You also include stories in them which is great. I've checked out your blog as well so as long as you're providing awesome content like you already did, you're on our watch radar :) ...bear in mind though, that your contents must be Steemit original (not published elsewhere), then only we can propose your genuine post for curation worth <3 Again, congrats dear @allyinspirit
Please forgive the delayed response Debbie. Sometimes I can't return a comment immediately because the words simply aren't there to express my gratitude.
I've thought for what seems like a lifetime, at least my creative lifetime, that choosing to be an artist gives one a brilliant opportunity to test one's belief in one's work. And as an artist, 'one's work' mean's one's whole body, mind, heart and spirit.
Recently I've been considering writing another Introduce Yourself post because when I first started Steemit, I introduced one side of my art and not the person behind the art, and certainly not all the successes and failures, trials and tribulations of finding an audience for my art. And definitely not revealing how the successes and failures impacted my being and hence what could be produced from that being.
Steemit is such a huge community and somehow each one of us finds our tribe. I love seeing how different people work in whatever their chosen field. I also draw a lot of support from the interactions I have with other creatives. So my focus is not so much on the financial rewards that can be gained from Steemit ~ Although I would love a digital pen for my tablet. I'll be writing about this at some stage, because I've decided to not buy the pen I want, until I can actually buy it from my Steemit savings.
Your encouragement to keep producing original content has really given me such a boost and I wish to wholeheartedly thank you once again. 🦋
