"Art is anything you can get away with"

It all began when I painted some clouds, buildings, trees, stones, and sun for my brother's art homework. I painted everything I felt relevant to his assignment. I was painting nonstop and didn't realize how much time had passed; perhaps I was having fun?

I eventually purchased myself some painting supplies. This one is mine.

I'd say not bad.

I kept painting after that and quickly realized that i was growing interested in it as it helped me manage my stress and helped me explore my creative side.

My constant companion has been art. Art is never against me, wether I'm happy or not. I used to paint various things at random times, and occasionally, based on my friends' answer, I would also ask them questions at random times.

I don't know why, but I rarely paint when I'm joyful. Some of my friends can actually tell when I'm having a mental breakdown because I paint. Later, when i finished what I was working on, I would feel so satisfied l, as though I had painted my feelings and produced a work of art. I must be quite silly.

These are my creations that i painted through difficult times.

You can see that in 2 of my pieces, brushstrokes are present—something I, of course didn't do. Almost messed up by someone? And as soon as I realized, I was so devasted, I sobbed for hours. But my friend was able to calm me down down by encouraging me to try painting another one, so i did.

Who was my inspiration when i painted these flowers? My friends—and they are aware of who they are—like these flowers, and I would gladly paint them again if they wanted.

Thanks to my brother, who has helped me explore my creative side, I've been interested in painting for three months. Now that I'm interested in painting, im quite sure it won't last long. As soon as i discover something new and intriguing, that will take over as my new hobby. Nevertheless, I'll keep painting and keep using it as a way to communicate my feelings.

somebody i used to know - a friends to enemies dump

prompt list by @novelbear

"i can't believe you did that to me..." "and i can't believe that you still don't understand why i did."

returning each other's belongings, not wanting to be reminded of the other's existence

exposing old secrets that they swore to never tell anyone since they could just care less

knowing their weaknesses from being close and using those to their advantage

seeing each other in public and doing the pettiest things to piss the other off (ex: not holding the door open if they're behind them)

one having a hard day and going through old texts between the two, missing the comforting words their friend once gave them

mutual friends being affected by their falling out, since they can't all hang out together like they used to

^ or maybe they're always being put in between arguments and feel like they have to pick a side

^^ leading to both of them losing more than just each other (and do they reflect on how that came to be?)

"i thought i could trust you." "and whose fault is that?"

"you knew how much that meant to me!" "that's exactly why i did it!"

working at a café/restaurant/other place and purposefully screwing up their order

still being friends with a sibling/relative of theirs, and having to occasionally cross paths

trying to glare at them with hatred/disgust but they just can't

"you're a joke."

"i was just being nice, i never cared." "bullshit!"

that gut-wrenching feeling when they realize they were in the wrong, but it's too late to try to fix anything now
