- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

yes please make art!
i too felt like i am not a creative person and didn't have any skill. started learning to draw a little over 2 years ago now and am enjoying the journey very much. no, i'm not very good (yet?), and i may never get to a "professional" standard, but i am enjoying it. it feels good to have an outlet and build my skill, learn things, and occasionally doodle something for someone that makes them happy even if it isn't perfect or didn't turn out exactly how i wanted. creative expression is a great gift to give yourself! i draw pretty much every day now and it has helped me immensely in many unexpected ways.
