Sorry to hear that if it's something that you're passionate about then I think you should continue. I think the first step is you accepting your art and willing to share it amongst more people even though there will be half that will say it's ugly and half that will say it's good. As I said the first step is you accepting your art. That's what I think ( ̄∇ ̄")
Yeah, it happens.
For once, it was not smthg I loved but there was this boring more or les 350 pages classic book I was reading. Though it was really boring and long, I still continued because I wanted to know how it'd end. One day, I went to school, another 5 pages and I'd have known how it ends but then my teacher spoiled it. I was so disappointed I threw the book.
It was almost like a big achievement to me then she ruined it all. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
Have you ever just loved something and someone just ruins it for you ( ̄へ ̄)
