[TickTock]

It's always tough to receive criticism to that degree, but you have to realize that those people don't mean shit to you. You don't owe them anything nor do they to you. As artist we need to take a stand for the kind of work we want to do. That is how we gain respect in this world and continue to be able to share what we love with others.

I don't understand the circumstances to which you had to make this decision, but if it was interfering with your daily life you need build a filter. Whether using another alias, or "starting over" per-say, you should not give up something you enjoy.

At the very least take some time to lay low, reevaluate what you want to do, and hopefully you'll be happy with the decisions you'll be able to make for the future.

Good luck.
