[269] Shadow Of Doubt

Description

----------------------------
--- She may be glowing but it only makes the shadow darker.


I've been really doubting myself just as a person as of late. No particular reason, although I did get a letter from one of the colleges basically saying I wasn't accepted maybe that was the catalyst. (there's plenty more colleges I have yet to hear from so it's not that bad) I just sometimes feel like even though I try really hard, don't stop and have so much to show people but sometimes it still doesn't ever feel like enough and I start really doubting myself. And it got me thinking the other day, one negative comment can really make me feel sad whereas nice comments (though I really do appreciate them) don't have the same impact. Like why is it that even with hundreds of amazing, genuine and nice comments one can make me start doubting myself?? I took math, I know it doesn't add up but still. I feel like that happens to a lot of people, where one negative comment can hold  the same weight of thousands of kind ones. 

I also kinda feel a bit burnt out but I usually do for this doodle project like every other week so that's not new, just why I posted a bit late today haha. 

Anyways thanks for reading, just rambling some thoughts I had. I haven't really been talkative in my  descriptions lately have I?

This is a beautiful image but just saying that doesn't do justice to it. I can really really relate to it and to what you have said because I've thought those very same things a lot! Especially the mismatch between our attitudes towards happy events as compared to sad ones. I don't think I can help you out very much because I haven't found a solution to that yet, but you should know that your art is wonderful and expressive and it's possible to connect to soo many people through it. So it's always going to be there to light up your sad days and brighten all the good ones even more. Thanks for sharing this piece of work!
