this kind of feels like a hug haha
One day we will have our version of steemfest and it'll be brilliant fun and we will realize that we are more than a community "of sorts".
I can relate to that fear of being misunderstood. When I was younger I always said "I don't care if people dislike me, I just want them to understand me." I think going to live where I stood out eventually just forced me to get over the fear of being misunderstood. It still doesn't make me happy but when it happens it happens. I just want to have people who understand me around, it's ok if the rest don't understand, I don't need to focus on them.
Right now it's just hard because the only people who understand are so busy I can only see them once or twice a month whereas in the past I was able to live with a group of people who were living the same truths as me and we had a shared sense of purpose that we felt every single day.
This is also why I've had a complicated relationship with art. I don't really care about being the center of attention, I just want to attract people who I can have understanding with, where our energy does not subtract from each other, only fulfills each other.
Oh yes me too. My soul mates live so far away. They understand me completely and LOVE ME ANYWAY. That's what's so precious. And I do think we are developing friendships here too that say: Hey! See you.. and still think you are pretty great. I think its coz we give each other a chance. We listen. We drop in to see each other... where have you been? You okay? How can I help? ... and we all remind each other every day what is important!!!

Oh and yes!!! I think art was never originally about earning. It's about relating, and being understood. Xxx Expressing!!!!
