Hiya traci :D
Thx so much for all the info you gave me and for the community suggestions! There is a lot to take in! I think I originally replied to the reply on your comment so actually didnt see yours until scrolling through my comments now. sorry for that.
I did not know that I was going to have to identify myself so i can share stuff here on hive, even though I know what you mean. I realize you read my intro post and I didnt get into any great details, because it is a bit of emotional and private topic, but so you can have maybe a little bit of a clearer idea about things, I thought I should probably tell you. I did used to have social accounts but I do not anymore. I only had insta ind twitter but mostly only used insta. but I spent several months in rehab and while i was there I was guided to cut ties with things in my life before my change. so I shut them down and I wont be opening those ones up again. I also dont even know if I want to open new ones. that is not a choice i am ready to make yet.
My drawings havent been shared anywhere on the internet either. not anywhere, so you wont see anyone trying to steal them or use them. Up until now it has just been me and my drawing tablet. I don't know yet if I will ever do anything with them. maybe, but I dont know yet.
I am not sure if it is going to be a problem for me to carry on sharing my things here, I hope not. So far I have only shared two posts with drawings and both of them had some screenshots of my progress in making them. would that be enough for me to carry on sharing? I mainly came here to share my art and what it means to me so if I am not allowed to do that because i dont have socials then that would be a bit sad, but I guess i would understand that and why you say so.
I would love to connect with more people and have seen that lots of people seem to use discord so thx for that link, but I wanted to just learn my way around a bit more before i start adding more things to learn and understand.
I will wait a bit to see what your reply is before I post anything else. thx so much for being helpful and letting me know the important stuff here on hive.
ELLA <3
