I miss having art friends to talk to.

I know I technically still keep up with a small handful of art buddies on tumblr, but for the most part I feel so detached from my peers that it often feels like I've been left behind.

Not just left behind in terms of skill, but left behind in terms of life. (I won't go into the life-specifics though)

I miss not having to worry about the future and just made art "because it's fun!" and put out stuff on a consistent basis and in turn got regular feedback but now it's like...

I'll upload something every few months, (if even that?) and zero people will ever see it.

It's disheartening, but I'm also relieved that nobody looks at the crap I leave on their doorstep. (If that makes sense?)

At least when I was new on dA, nobody saw my stuff because I wasn't good enough to draw people in. (no pun intended)

But now nobody sees my stuff because they probably don't get notified when I upload anything to my scrapbook, or if they do they immediately close out the notification because of the unappealing thumbnail.

And honestly I don't blame them because I don't like my WIP's either, but they're as close to a finished product as they're gonna be since I always give up half way through.
