Sorry in advance if I do something stupid
5 years ago
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't at least consider removing myself from FA and every other social media I can think of. I know it would be for stupid reasons too.
It wouldn't be for privacy reasons, it wouldn't be because I think I'm better than the fandom, it wouldn't be because I don't want other people to enjoy my commissions. It would be because I want to remove myself. It would be because I believe the world is better with less of me in it. I wouldn't be acting rationally, it'd probably be an impulsive thing.
I hate seeing things that remind me of myself. I know that junking all my stuff wouldn't change that about myself. It also wouldn't help my situation at all and I'd probably regret doing it. On the other hand I don't think most other people would even notice, so it's not like I'd be making a statement.
What statement would I even be trying to make? That I'm an asshole? I don't know. But I can't deny it either. Every day I at least consider taking down everything.

Whatever you are dealing with and whatever path you choose, I hope the best for you.
One specific example has been your predscapes picture and especially the description there. I loved the concept from the moment I discovered it and that picture's description was both an introduction for me to the concept and much of its potential, as well as something I have shared with others. More than a few have enjoyed it just as much.
