when it’s time to say goodbye after having a great time with someone

It's a bit silly that when you do art for a living, people think you don't do emotional labor, but man. I've drawn for a guy who was planning to gift his gf an anniversary gift, and she passed away in the middle of me drawing it for them. I've drawn for a woman who wanted me to draw her daughters oc, and she randomly dropped;"It's my last gift for her because I've been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor". I've drawn rabbits, cats and dogs as memorial pieces for people and their beloved pets, I've drawn dnd group shots for sessions that lasted years, Now coming to an end because the dm died. I don't know. It feels so, immense to be a part of people's lives like this. I have cried so many times because people were cruel to me over commissions, but I have cried harder because people were kind to me. I wonder if the art helped. Even a little. I hope it did.

if you were at your worst, if you’re a villain or a screwup or whatever, there is a goth man dressed as a giant bat who keeps coming after you, bothering you. he sabotages your journey of self destruction over and over. ur ready to give up but he won’t let you. you think, today he won’t come. today he will give up on me too. he never does.

If a bunch of New Yorkers moved to an area of Italy and started killing all the Italians that got near them we would call them fucking insane regardless of if their great grandfathers were Italian. Ancestral connection to the land is not the same as right to own the land.

We sharing anaesthetic stories?? I had to have dental surgery when i was in middle school.

According to my mom and sister the very first thing i did upon waking up was BOLT upright and proceed to try and shove my ENTIRE fist in my mouth as fast as possible.

I had to be physically stopped, and i proceeded to sob my eyes out for the next 20 minutes. Somehow, i didnt damage anything 🤣

sorry that imagery is so vivid i just..

?????LOL

i must not take it personal. taking it personal is the mind killer. taking it personal is the little death that brings total oblivion. i will face taking it personal. i will permit it to pass over and through me. and when it has gone past i will turn the inner eye to see its path. when the taking it personal has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain

You know what? I believe that you can finish your writing project. I believe you can update your fic. I believe you can work on your WIP. I don't care if you think it's cringy or bad. I don't care if we've never met or interacted in our whole lives. I believe in you. Keep going - you've got this.
