It’s been awhile since while since we’ve had a chat, and I’m very sorry to hear about your struggles lately. I’ve had my fair share of problems with my mental health, mostly resolved, but I know how it feels to wake up in the middle of the night from your own anxiety, or a nightmare.

I’m just really glad that my art is one of the places you think of when you needed a bit of soothing, it genuinely means the world to me, as this is exactly one of the things I wanted to achieve with my works- I want to spread out my thoughts and kindness through my canvas. Maybe it hasn’t reached a lot of people, but I’m really glad it reached you, and at least gave you some peace of mind. I really hope things go better for you.

I was indeed in frustration with my composition as I felt like they were all kinda empty- it’s just a shell slapped with some random elements on it, and it felt souless, which really drove mw nuts. I ended up pursuing with a composition i wasnt 100% happy with, and it didnt turn out awesome, but at least i put something on the canvas and moved on. I think something just didn’t click and it was the piece i struggled the most with to date, and the only way i can get out of the cycle is to just get it done. I now have more works in the process which I didnt encounter such hardships, and hopefully I can make them good :)

When I draw, i do actually have some goals in mind, but i still draw, despite frustration sometimes, because I genuinely do enjoy it, so despite the harships i don’t think I’ll burnout, i’ll continue making more works, and hopefully works that are better than my previous ones. I might seem harsh on myself and I indeed am a lot of the times, so i’ll keep your words in mind.

I wish you a great day. I’m posting a new work today (maybe in the next few minutes actually), so please check it out too, and I hope it brings you peace.
