Day 22 of digital sobriety. Purpose and expectations.

Well my "active use only" strategy is showing cracks. I've posted a project online for the first time in a whole sobriety and got instantly hooked on the feedback, checking likes and views relentlessly.

I really need to ba careful, because those numbers always make me or break me. Even after they make me they break me a little because my expectations just keep growing.

And on one hand I feel very alive, meaningful and as my purpose is being fulfilled. I've spent days making it, I want it to affect the world. But I know I am too attached, idk how to just "devalue it". Only after some time passes. When my old things are not appreciated I don't mind that much.
