Every so often I see this type of message and it's always irked me. I might be taking them too literally—but just in case—here's a reminder that you don't owe anyone your hobby. Create whatever you want, whenever you feel like, including nothing at all.

Yeah, it's almost certainly an over exaggeration of what's actually happening. More than anything I just wanted to dramatize how I read those comments, so I could spark discussion about how social media can make people feel like they have to do things, just because they've done them before. Take breaks, create when you want to, enjoy your hobbies.

Also, thanks! Don't know when the next one will be, but I'll be happy when I'm making it, and I'm grateful others like you are willing to experience it with me.
