My Space, My Rules: Why I Choose Positivity 🎨🛡️

The internet feels like a second home to me, a place where I share my art, our life on the road with Hennie, and of course the adventures of our sweet Nala. 🐶🚐 This little digital home means a lot to me, and that’s why I’ve decided to protect its energy more intentionally.

When One Negative Comment Sticks 🧠

Long ago, I posted a drawing I was incredibly proud of. Most reactions were sweet and supportive, but one person left a nasty comment claiming I didn’t make the artwork myself.

Even with dozens of compliments, that one comment was the only thing echoing in my mind.

I later shared this experience in an artist group and received more than a thousand reactions from creators who felt the same way. It reminded me how tough the online world can be for artists.

Some people hide behind screens and throw negativity around without thinking. My art and our travels are meant to bring joy, not drama. So I made a choice: if a comment doesn’t add positivity or constructive value, it doesn’t belong here.

Real Examples From My Creative Journey 🎨

• Someone says: “You didn’t make this.” → Short reply if I feel like it, then delete or block.

• Someone says: “This is ugly.” → Delete. My page is not a playground for rudeness.

• Someone gives helpful critique. → I appreciate it and decide calmly what to do with it.

Why I Choose Positivity 🌈

Choosing positivity doesn’t mean pretending everything is perfect. It means choosing what I allow into my space, and what I don’t.

I want you to feel happy when you see a post from me. I want this to be a place where creativity, kindness, and connection come first.
