What if you put up a picture and nobody likes it?
I was thinking about this.
I put up a picture and it got 64 likes, the most any photo of mine had
ever received, and I thought, does this make it a better photo? If I loved an
image and put it up and it got no likes, would that make it less beautiful to
me? There is something subtly corrupting about trying to garner likes, so that images that spoke to us, and only to
us, appear to become less valuable, and images that we kind of liked and put up
and everyone liked – are they more special now? 
I’m a bit curmudgeonly, in that I like to like things I
think are unique; if everyone likes it, it loses some of its luster for
me. So if only a few people like your
picture, hold it closer to your heart, it means only a few get it, but those few get you… and better to have a
few close, true friends, than a thousand acquaintances.
