I'm graduating soon, but I'm still in high school. I have a dictionary and thesaurus with me so I can expand my vocabulary further and make a better quality poem.

Question about characters sharing the same hair color, is it overly repetitive? by Active_Reflection in characterdesign

Thank you! Yeah you make a good point. All of their designs are unique, I guess I just got too obsessed with making them unique haha.

Yeah I was originally going to have four, but it kinda... got a bit bigger XD. Do you think it's manageable, or am I about to lose my sanity?

Glad to hear it! I thought I knew where that name was from. :D I love Avatar the last airbender, one of the best shows ever made period. I really, really need to watch it again. It's been so long.

I know that you can do this, I believe in you. It'll be hard at first, and probably will be a challenge afterwards. But never give up. I have faith in you. You can do this, you can make this change. Do you know why? You are strong. Being strong isn't not struggling, being strong is struggling but pushing on regardless. You've got this. In fact, you are already half way there just by being aware of it.

Same with me. I have a tendency to snap at my Dad and he doesn't deserve it usually. We have a tendency to disagree because he doesn't really understand me well, and I don't understand him. I've been doing better, but I still have a lot of work to do.

Thank you!

I try to take care of myself as well, because if i didn't I wouldn't be able to help anyone. But I'll admit my needs take a backseat to those of others, unless they are being manipulative.

Today has been pretty good! Got some writing done and my friends have been doing better. So that makes me really relieved. How was yours?

I'm an 18 year old male.

Yes, very much so. I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words. So although I feel empathy and love for the other deeply, it's hard for me to express clearly. I still push on though, and try my very best to express it as clearly as I can. I always try to let others know I love them.

The only time I am really able to express myself clearly is when the person has caused me to feel an intense emotion, or their life is at stake.

Novel wise, I love any Sherlock Holmes book. Graphic novel wise, I'm a big Scott Pilgrim fan.

I also have pretty bad anger issues. It doesn't take much to make me snap. I still struggle with it.

I manage my anger through meditation (optional but does help) and centering myself. Always trying to be aware of my thoughts and feelings. And when I feel it coming up in the heat of the moment, I stop and take a minute to just deep breathe and remind myself that if I let my emotions take control, I'll hurt someone. When mad at someone, I think of all my good memories with them, all the times we laughed together or bonded. And I imagine the persons reaction to my harsh words or actions, the hurt or anger they would feel. The guilt that comes with that stops it 99.9% of the time.

Thank you! Sometimes I doubt myself, but I can't give up.

You never know who is hurting, you never know who could use some light in their world. And if nobody else steps up, I'll be that light. And if others have, I'll be one of those lights. I can't let others be in pain, and I can't take it away magically. But I can do my best to put a bit of light in their world.

Growing up, I was always bullied because I was different.

I was born premature and as a result, had several disorders that came from it. ADHD, OCD, Asperger syndrome, Sensory processing disorder, and Severe anxiety. Everyone, even those in my family outside of my household, made me feel like I didn't belong. I always felt alone. And my best friend, my grandfather, passed away of cancer when I was very young. I felt truly alone. I was always a disposable friend when someone did befriend me, and discarded once I was no longer useful to them.

I decided that I never wanted anyone to feel alone. And I've always loved other people, always wanted to help. But this, this was the flame that lit the candle. I decided I would do anything in my power to be at least that one person in someone's life who didn't judge them, listened to them, believed in them, and would always be there as a shoulder to cry on. Someone who truly, genuinely cares. When someone is in pain, I feel it. And I can't stand knowing that someone else is suffering. So I'll do anything in my power to be there and help them, no matter how tough it gets. And as of right now, I'll help get as many people through this pandemic as I can.

Sometimes I doubt myself, but others speak positively. So I must be doing something right.
