I missed this... sorry. You have great content. There was a problem with downvoters wandering around spreading bad will. Many people were hit. But there's been a cleanup and I think they're gone. Maybe they'll be back. I know it hits hard, but don't let it. It's pure negativity. You're an artist. You spread beauty. They can't touch you.
Thank you, @agmoore! I really appreciate your support and I hope I will continue posting here my articles but for now I'm really disappointed, three days ago this post was also downvoted and I'm not sure they're gone... Apart of downvoting I'm disappointed because of steemit issues with registering new users, my good friend artist could not get an account here, she tried twice and she was not registered. Even for my mother I had to buy an account because she was not registered too... And at the same time lots of downvoting accounts got their registration on steemit... it is so unfair and disappointing. I told so much good about steemit to my friends, and now I do not advise them to register here.
My friend is a young, beginner and talented artist. She has a very vulnerable psyche. And I'm even glad that she did not get registration here, since her first posts could be downvoted, and I do not know how that would affect her psyche and her self-esteem. A very unpleasant situation here, and I have no desire to post anything here for now...
If your friend is fragile, perhaps you are right. I sometimes get discouraged, then my family reminds me that I love to research material and write articles. And some people (like you) are really interesting, and nice. I hope you do start posting. I'll try to keep a lookout. You can just drop a comment on my most recent post when you do (don't have to vote for me) and I'll check out your blog. And send my regards to your mom--you know how I feel about moms :)
Thank you so much for your kind words and your support! I appreciate your attention to my posts and I hope, my gloom will pass soon, and the willing to share my thoughts and stories from my life will return to me.
My mom was very pleased with your attention, and she also sends you her kind regards :)
