I haven't been on deviantart in a long time but... I feel like I can try and reach out. Is anyone listening? Anyone around? Old friends? Old acquaintances? This is Lion, the same old Lion going through... going through rough feelings. A lot of thoughts. Self doubt, self hate, mentally kicking myself for past things. Not being enough of a friend, not being good enough, not being... I don't know. Is it even worth reaching out if no one hears you?
I think this is the end of my time on deviantart. The format has changed a lot and I've already spent lots of time not on here and haven't updated long either. I won't delete the account, who knows if I'll come back and create more here. But the sites changed, I've gotten older, there's not much for me here.
Has it really been ten years since I joined the platform? I shouldn't be suprised that an update was in order. But, if something wasn't broken or not bad, why change it? The new layouts, how you have to find things like your watch list, new works of art that you follow, is made much harder. It's like deviantart wanted to copy all the trending social media sites templates but give a big middle finger to its long time users. I guess now is the end.
