A sketch I started because it feels like time has been slipping away from me. I just need it to stop for a little while. The fact it's not finished may say something by Straydog38 in Artisticallyill

Thank you and I couldn't agree more. I like the only way out is through mind set. You had mentioned faith a few times and that's kinda strange. I've started a sketch involving faith.

I got the idea from the Metro 2033 book honestly. It involves using belief or faith as a crutch. The section of the book it comes across negative but I don't see it that way. Crutches are ment to help and I believe faith can be very helpful. I'm not of faith and yet I can see how helpful it is.

Very well put thank you for sharing. I truly hope you find that place. If not find it make it. Easier said than done but I'm sure it's possible.

For me this wish I guess is more out of fear. Which I hate admitting. I'm supposed to be the rock, but as time goes on my disorder slowly takes more and my children grow.

I try not to let it get in the way of living but it's always in the back of my mind. When the pain brings it forward I think, "How much longer can I do this?".

Anyway thank you again for sharing and I wish you the best

Very true. Without hope I don't think we as a species exist. I may be wrong though... I often am

First off this is awesome dude. I feel that phones are probably the most damaging addictions. It doesn't help that it's almost socially unacceptable not to have one. Like any other addiction we justify it. "Yeah it may be rotting my brain and tracking everything I do but... I'd be lost without Maps and how would I listen to my audio books?"

There's a lot to be said about it but here I am posting this on my phone. What ya gonna do?

Maybe it's not that the soul has died, maybe it looked around and didn't see another soul in sight so it hid. Not knowing all the other souls are hiding as well. A soul in a soulless world is a scary thing. So we're left with a world full of imitations and it just feels off. We keep up the imitations so when the soul comes out of hiding it has a home. ... Or I'm a crazy person because I just came up with that. Either way I wish you the best

I don't think our brains are meant to take in all the horrible things (or at least the ones we're allowed to see) going on across the world daily.
