Day after day we fall into that social media trap. Thinking – what if post this image, will people get it? what about my top 3 followers? will they appreciate it and give me a like or a heart? How stupid is that? Think about it…
The only person you need to impress is yourself. You are running that marathon against and by yourself. The less you try to impress others, the more you will impress yourself and grow creatively.
wise words Yuri. I think I’ve been going through some stages like this. I’ve taken a lot of photos that I’d consider “not that good” but they felt good to take so I’m glad I did. I won’t share them but I look at a few of them from time to time. Maybe they’ll lead to something, maybe not.
Thanks Chris. I think it boils down to – if you have something to say and it means something to you then why do you care what people might say or think. Its a mind fuck and unnecessary pressure. The point is to actually MAKE something 🙂
