day 4 is a little bat.
Day 4 honestly came THIS close to not happening. I'm so frustrated lately.
I really do not understand people. At all.
Would you walk up to some strange girl on the street and tell her you want to have sex with her? Hopefully not, chances are she would call the cops on you so why doesn't this apply on the internet?
I know I can't control what people think and that's fine but some of the things I've been hearing from strangers is just crossing the line. I'm trying to get to a place where I feel comfortable with my body (god knows I haven't in the past) and honestly, the kind of attention I've been getting just puts me back where I started and it really pisses me off and makes me uncomfortable at the same time. It doesn't matter if you think it's appropriate or okay to say those things, it matters whether /I/ do and unless you're a very very very close friend (which if you are, you probably wouldn't be hearing about this first on flickr) please don't make those comments. I want to be able to share my creations with other artists, but really strangers on the internet are still strangers. I feel like many people just make accounts to lurk and I feel like I'm doing my 365 just to be gawked at.
I don't know how to put this any more clearly. I. am. not. interested. I need a friend, not a boyfriend. I've lost some of my closest friends in the past year because of that and honestly, between that and the constant stress that is constantly feeling like my privacy is being violated by people trying to weasel their way back in my life and comments that make me want to drink lye, I've been in hell.
I'm not putting this as directed towards one person, or even only 2 or 3 people. If it was just an odd comment here or there, okay yes. I could deal with that, but when I feel like I'm existing just for some random guy to stare down, it really really wears me down and makes me question what I'm doing.
I'm probably going to get a lot of crap for saying this, so don't bother. I'm not going to respond to any comments that aren't about this photo, and come tomorrow I'll decide if my 365 is still on or not.
