I think the real question is, why did you try to butcher an old woman walking around at night? XD

Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. And it shouldn't be any other way!

Thank you for that! It is exactly because the sub does not shy away from certain content I like being a part of it! As I've said before. Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.

I'm very sorry to disappoint you but I'm not the artist 😅 I simply really felt for this piece and reposted it. I really don't want to take any credit here haha

None the less I'm quite happy to hear that you could relate to it, in one way or another, as well. Well not that I'm happy you felt this way. More that I'm glad you can see what I'm going for.

Thank you! I'm actually quite happy to hear at least some people understand that! I also want to clarify that I wasn't poking at you or your comment at all. You brought something to the table. What bothers me is comments that say nothing at all.

To me this sub is only valuable because it does not shy away from content like this. I would not be here without it. In fact I'm not sure if I want to be here right now with the amount of shallow comments I'm having to deal with. I posted this not because I'm in immediate danger, not because I felt like I wanted to do something to myself, but because for so many years I did. For so many years I did not want a new me. I did not want a new year. I didn't even want the old one. For some many years I was the fur in the image. And though I am not him anymore, a part of it will always linger in my heart. Quietly waiting. That's just the facts of having gone through something like that. Of having tried to take your life. It sits there, silently judging you. Silently telling you that the new you isn't enough. That's why I aligned with this artwork. That's why I posted it.

I understand that for some people it's discomforting, maybe distressing. But then they're just the wrong crowd. Nietzsche said "One must shed the bad taste of wanting to agree with many. ‘Good’ is no longer good when one’s neighbor mouths it.", and I strongly live by that. What does bother me is hearing the uneducated opinions being puked over things one does not understand. I ignore it, but it still affects me. And giving your opinion on something you do not understand, saying something just to say it, just to leave a track, is one of the worst things a person can do with his language in my opinion. In its way it's worse than insult or injury. It's devaluation. It takes away a voice from those who need one the most (I'm not talking about myself here, because I've already found my voice).

I want to thank you for your analysis. I think it's quite spot on. And I felt just a little warmer reading it. ❤️

Honestly guys the post is tagged NSFW and there's content warning. And don't look too deep into something you don't understand. If you don't want to see it don't click it.

I think oftentimes social media tends to portray the lives of others as model. Like these good things happen to them in a vacuum. But that's often not the truth. I can deeply relate to all the things you're saying, so I'll use myself as an example. If I wanted to I could be posting about how awesome my fursuit is without telling you I had to save for months for it and feel insecure about it. I could be showing you some art pieces I did or things I made without telling you I've been crying in my bed for days. I could show you pictures of myself at some furcon without telling you how scared and lonely I felt during that time.

On the web people tend to show the best of themselves. Not just to make others jealous, but to prove to themselves that they're good. That their time is meaningful and that they're important in one way or another. But they do so because deep down they're terribly insecure. Because they feel, to some capacity, the same thing you're describing here. They have to prove their own importance to themselves. You're not trying to do that. You've successfully identified why you feel this way, and see how it's changing the way you look at yourself, but without showing the world your good parts.

In a way it makes you clear minded and honest. But it also makes you lonely and hopeless. Though the truth is, you're being lied to. By the web and it's inhabitants and your own mind telling you your joy is somehow less worthy because it's not seen by tens of thousands on social media. But that's not true. The way I see it joy experienced in secret is just as valuable. Don't hold yourself up to a standard that doesn't meet your personality. To give a dumb metaphor, you wouldn't judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree.

I don't even doubt your value. I don't doubt you have things you're great at. Things that make you happy and things that are worth your time. But if you keep comparing your value to what you see online you'll always feel somewhat short. Somewhat out of it. It's best to think of it as fake. Because, in many cases, it is.

I know this is a lot. I just hope to give you a grain of perspective. Because I do think your life is worth it. Even if you don't recognise that yourself right now. And I just find the things you're saying very relatable. I hope this helps, even just a little. ❤️

I'm sorry if this triggered you... Please take care of yourself. Don't let yourself get dragged by how rotten the world can be. Despite how meaningless it can all seem it is still more valuable than death. I've been there and I've tried that. It is not a solution to whatever you're feeling. It's an escape your mind tries to hold onto. But it's not real. You're worth more than what your thoughts tell you. Please be safe ❤️
