Hm so
I am just globally extremely dissatisfied with my art rn. I love drawing I love it and I don't feel ok when I don't draw but I've stopped doing automatic drawing for so long and I've been trying to do pretty stuff and I keep being angry at it. I don't want to keep having this weird relationship where I so something I'm really proud of then not do anything for three months it makes me really unhappy.
I don't know where I'm going with this ? I don't want to feel sick taking up a pencil and feel like showing my art is like the mental equivalent of shoving a finger in an open wound. So uh I'll try to do automatic drawing a lot maybe ? Except I probably won't share it, I feel really awful when someone looks at my sketchbook and I don't want that. Idk man fuck, I keep having like dozens of grand projects, remember when I thought I could do a webcomic ? Ha I did two pages then felt extremely angry at myself and stopped. Remember when I wanted to do an animatic on Lucretia ? I never went beyond sketching the first frame lol. I hate this shit I hate how I constantly do this because I want to do these things but I want to feel good and satisfied doing them and I'm not there yet, my creativity and my confidence do not allow it in the current state.
I'm not asking for advice, getting advice on something that feels so viscerally personal makes me irrationally angry and I really don't fucking want that. I just wanted to finally be honest with myself and how I feel with drawing, how I've felt for like the last three years, because I feel like admitting that I feel bad right now is the first step to feeling good again maybe ? Someday ? Hopefully ?

Tumblr media
I heard that you settled down
That you found a girl and you’re married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things
I couldn’t give to you
Opening the mailbox had become a routine thing and every day it was the exact same things; bills, postcards from family members and other people’s shit, but today, there was a wedding invitation. My heart skips a beat as I squeeze it into my purse until I get home. The drive to my apartment seems to drag on as I find my spot, put the car in park and walk to the front door. My hands are shaking, unable to unlock the front door. Luckily for me, a friendly elderly man comes my way and opens it for me. “You okay, sweetheart?” The old man, I know as Gerald asks me.
I nod my head, smiling my pain away. “Just fine, Gerald. How’s your wife?”
He smiles sweetly at me and tips his hat. “She’s doing just fine. Thank you.”
I wave at him as he leaves me on my own. But as soon as he’s out of view my stomach does a nose dive and my knees grow shaky.
I had to force myself not reach into my bag and rip open the invitation before getting inside my well-locked apartment. Dropping my keys into the bowl, hanging up my coat and grabbing a glass of wine before gathering the courage to open the plain white envelope with my name on the front in perfect black lettering.
“Dear Miss (y/f/n) (y/l/n), you are hereby invited to the wedding of Sarah Terrance and Sebastian Stan.” My mouth grows dry, my knees shakier than before and my stomach one large knot instead of a few small ones.
My eyes prick with tears as I continue to read the invitation, informing me of the date, time and location. “Sunset Terrace at Chelsea Piers.” That was my place, that was the place I had told him since the beginning where I wanted to get married. It was beautiful and it was mine. Until now. My throat swells up and my cheeks grow damp with tears. I throw the invitation onto the kitchen table and chug back my glass of wine before pouring another.
Old friend, why so you shy
Not like you to hold back
Or hide from a lie
Standing in line at the Starbucks just minutes from my apartment, I hear a familiar voice two or three heads away from me. The mystery person orders a coffee with no sugar and four milk. My heart sinks, he use to order that. Every day we were together, he’d make his own coffee and complain about how he could never get it perfect like Starbucks did. So, I’d kiss his forehead, dump the coffee down the drain and skip down here to grab him a coffee.
The line moves away quicker than my thoughts and I’m standing in front of the barista while she’s staring at me like I have three heads. “Ma’am? What’re you getting?”
I force a smile and order my usual, an Americano. She smiles back and minutes later the drink is in front of me.
I sit down at my usual table, taking out my sketch pad to draw a few things before work. “Hey.”
I feel my stomach toss and turn into a bundle of nerves and my chest grows heavy. I look up and all I see are those big blue eyes, my big blue eyes. Not anymore, I remind myself. I chew my lip before smiling. “Hey.”
He points to the seat and without thinking twice I offer him to join me. “How’ve you been?”
I chuckle to myself. “Been fine.” That had been true up to three days ago when I received his wedding invite in the mail and my life shattered, like a mirror, into a million broken pieces.
He nods, smiling because he’s polite but I can tell he has something he’d like to say. I take a sip before speaking again. “How’ve you been?”
He clears his throat. “Uh, great, thanks for asking.”
I take a deep breath. This was the moment of truth. “I got your invitation in the mail.”
He winces and sighs. “I told Sarah not to send it.” Ouch, that hurt. “But she insisted that whatever happened between was ancient history so it couldn’t possibly be weird.”
I roll my eyes. “If being together for six years and two months from a wedding chapel is ancient history than sure.”
He shakes his head. “I was trying to save you the pain of this, (y/n).”
I stand, tucking my sketch pad away and grab my drink. “I’ll just move to another state then, maybe that’ll help.”
“(y/n), come on.”
I close my eyes, gathering my thoughts. “Seb, I hope you two the best, really. You use to say to me about couples splitting up and moving on that sometimes it lasts in love and sometimes it hurts instead. I just want you to be happy. And for years, I thought that was me but I guess not. So, have fun at your wedding.” I smile tightly and turn on my heels. And I could’ve sworn he muttered under his breath, “you are my happy.”
Hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn’t stay away, I couldn’t fight it
I’d hope you see my face and that be you reminded
That for me it isn’t over
Nevermind I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing the best for you two
Don’t forget me, I beg,
I’ll remember you said
“Sometimes it last in love and sometimes it hurts instead”
The evening before the wedding I lay on the couch, a big bag of Doritos on my lap and a bottle of wine in my hand. My eyes hurting and red from crying, my cheeks crusty with my tears. I had done this to myself. I had tried talking myself into calling him or finding his apartment but I couldn’t bring myself to ruin his happiness. Sarah’s I’d be willing to ruin but I still love Sebastian.
My phone vibrates, informing me of a text message. I glance at the screen. Seventeen missed calls and forty-five unread messages. I sigh as I toggle through the texts, mostly from my family and sister but a few from my best friend, Caleb. He was the only one that knew I still had feelings for Sebastian and he was the only one who was pushing me to break them up. I swallow down a fistful of chips before dialing the number back. “It’s about damn time.” He picked up on the second ring. “Do not tell me that you’re sitting on your couch with a Costco sizes bag of Doritos and cheap wine.”
“Fine, I won’t tell you.”
“Jesus, girl! Get with it. This man, who I might add is the love of your life, is getting married tomorrow.” He put more emphasis married. “Not everyone is lucky enough to meet someone who they can truly say is their soulmate.”
“You know I don’t believe in soulmates, Cal.”
He huffs. “Yeah, I know and it fucking depresses me. But listen to me, Sebastian is your soulmate. I don’t care at all if you don’t believe it because I do and that’s all that matters.”
I sigh, fresh tears breaking my voice. “I’m not going to destroy his marriage because I’m still in love with him. I’m letting him do this because I’m still in love with him.”
“You make no sense.”
I groan. “If Sarah makes him happy, then so be it.”
“Uh-uh.” I could mentally visualize him shaking his head and tsking. “No. Don’t you fall down this ‘oh, he’ll be happier without me’ rabbit hole. Don’t you do it.”
I groan again, changing positions. “Too late. Besides, maybe he will be happier without me.”
“See, even you say maybe.”
I shake my head. “Caleb, I can’t do this to him or to myself. What if I get down there, run up the aisle and express my undying love for him and he just nah.”
He chuckles. “He’s not going to say ‘nah’ to you, sweets.”
“How do you know that?”
He speaks softer, his voice growing quieter. “Because he’s still in love with you.”
I shake my head, my gross non-washed hair falling in my face. “No, he’s not.”
“You said it yourself, (y/n/n), he said ‘you’re my happy’.”
“No, I thought I heard him say that. My mind is just playing tricks on you.”
He screams silently. “Listen to me, bitch, if you ain’t up and dressed by 12:30 tomorrow afternoon, we gonna have a problem.”
“And if I’m not.”
“Then I will march my sweet little ass down to that wedding and express your undying love to the gorgeous man myself.”
I laugh. “No, you won’t really.”
“Try me, bitch.”
I sigh. “I can’t afford to have my heart broken again.”
He sighs, his voice soft as silk. “Just take my word for it, babe, it’s gonna be fine.”
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days
That night, all I could dream about was how it was when we were together. How we met, how we grew to be in a relationship, how we said our first ‘I love you’. Every dream, I’d wake up in a burning sweat, my heart thumping loudly in my chest. I’d shake it off but return to yet another dream. The happy times were the best ones to dream of, but the one that kept looping in my mind was when we broke up. How he ripped my heart out and said he had met someone new. He had met her while on press tours, she was an interviewer for one of the conferences and he fell head over heels. I remember crying myself to sleep for weeks after that, throwing his stuff out onto the front yard, burning most of it in tin barrels as he screamed at me to stop.
“What are doing?” He was screaming at me, his eyes large.
“This is a representation of what you did to my heart, my life, our life.”
He shook his head. “(y/n), come on.”
“NO! You come on! You broke my heart, Sebastian. You fucking broke my heart.”
He grew silent. “I’m sorry.”
“Shove your sorry up your ass.”
And that was the last time I had seen him. I refused to acknowledge his phone calls or text messages. I made Caleb speak to him about gathering his belongings.
He’d sit at my bedside after each visit and hold me while I cry. “He doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’s gonna regret this one day, I promise.”
“You’re not going to hurt him, are you?”
He’d shake his head. “No, but he’s gonna marry the wrong girl and he’s gonna hate himself because of it.”
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
As promised, 12:30 came around and Caleb was at my front door, banging on it like a madman. I had been in bed until twenty minutes ago, contemplating whether to do this or not. I march to the door and swing it wide open. “YES! There’s my girl.” He claps his hands together as he takes in my fully dressed attire, purse on shoulder and attitude to boot. “Let’s go get your man back.”
The wedding was at 1:00 and of course, we were stuck in traffic until almost 1:30. “How long are wedding normally?”
Caleb groaned. “I don’t know but if we gonna make it, we gonna have to run from here.”
“Caleb, I’m in high heels.”
“Take them off.”
“It’s New York streets, Caleb, I’m not runn-”
“How much do you love this man?” I smirk and take my boots off, throwing the cabby some money. “Damn right. Let’s go.”
I ran down those New York streets like I was in a marathon. I turned corners and skidded most of the way and left Caleb in the dust. Before reaching the building, I tug my boots back onto my aching feet ignoring the pain as I stepped into them. “What floor is the Terrance and Stan wedding on?”
The receptionist cocked a brow. “Are you a guest?”
Caleb, short of breath, speaks. “She’s his ex-girlfriend and we think he’s still in love with her so we’re gonna crash it.”
“Ma’am, I can’t let yo-”
I slam my hand on the counter. “My entire future is in that room. Tell me where it is.”
She shuffles some papers around. “Room 4450.”
Caleb smiles. “Thank you.” She nods quickly as we run to the elevator. I bust into the room with a mission but what I see in front me is enough to make my heart skip a beat. It’s Sebastian standing there and Sarah is looking at him, shaking her head. “Sebastian, come on.”
The priest nods. “Do you take Sarah Anne Terrance to be your wife?”
“Don’t do it,” I yell from the back of the room, making every eye turn to me. My face turns beat red and Sebastian looks up at me. “Seb, please, don’t do it.”
Sarah’s eyes grow dark. “Get her out of here, now.”
“I’m not leaving until Sebastian tells me he doesn’t have any feelings for me.”
“He’s marrying me! Why would he have feelings for you?”
“He’s only marrying you because you’re a controlling little slut.”
Caleb walks in behind me, only hearing the last part. “Jesus, what did I miss?”
Sarah picks her wedding dress up and marches down to stand in front of me. “What did you just say to me?”
I snort. “I think you heard me. You’re a controlling little slut.” That’s when the palm of her hand makes contact with my face. I shake the pain away and chuckle. “You think slapping me is going to make him love you? Make him want you?”
“Get it through your pea-sized brain, bitch, he doesn’t want you.” She growls.
“Sarah, don’t” The voice comes from the altar. Sebastian has his ring in his hand.
“What?” Her voice turns from menacing to kind in almost a split second.
He sighs. “I said don’t. (y/n)’s right.”
“I am?”
“She is?” Caleb and I speak in unison.
He nods his head. “You are a controlling person, always have been.” Sarah rolls her eyes. “And I don’t love you, not like how I should.”
“What does that mean?” She whining at this point.
He steps off the altar and comes to us, handing her the ring. “I’m sorry but I can’t do this.”
She takes a deep breath, shaking her head. “Why are you doing this for her?”
He scoffs. “I’m not doing this for her. I’m doing this for me. And for you. I could never make you happy, not truly happy.”
She yells like a child and stomps out of the room, all eyes now focused on Caleb, Sebastian and myself. “Sebas-”
He sighs, shaking his head. “Thank you.”
“For what?”
He smiles. “For helping me realize that I didn’t want to marry Sarah, that I never truly loved her.”
Caleb smiles. “But you love (y/n).”
He clears his throat. “I do.” Cheering all around. “But-” it was cut off quickly. “I’m not ready to jump back into a relationship.”
Tears flood my eyes. “What?” It’s a whisper.
He cups my cheek with a hand. “I’m sorry. I’ve been in a relationship with someone for the nine years of my life. I need some time to myself, to see what I want.”
I feel a sob form in my throat. “So you don’t want me then.”
He furrows his brows. “Of course I want you, I’ll always want you.”
I scoff, tears falling down my face. “Just not right now.”
He shakes his head. “I’m sorry.”
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
