21 years on deviantart, as good a time as any to private it
I first started as MelancholyDreamer on there in 2004, then became aflowerinbloom in 2014/2015 when I came out as trans. I noticed all of the people who use to follow me disappeared once I came out. Figures.
I began to feel like my Deviantart page was like a tomb. A relic. I've tried to add new things or journals, but again, basically no comments or anything.
Like a ghost town, empty houses everywhere.
Or existing on a planet as the only human. Very lonely.
Anytime I remembered it I would always feel an immense sadness.
Once me and my friends got threatened with a SWAT/doxxing recently, I was privating everything I could. Then deviantart came to mind.
I figured I had wanted to archive everything for a while anyways. So I moved everything into private, and it felt like a good move, and felt much better knowing my work is safe unseen, for now.
