Hideing in plain site

Sometimes I lose my resolve. I know better, but I do. There is something that I want to save and ever so often I feel as though the possibility is lost. I feel this way because I have no way of knowing whether my work is being appreciated. I feel a big risk writing it here because I feel very exposed doing so.
Yet, I also feel that by writing it down, i can look at it more openly for what it is as well as for what it isn't.
