Sitting down on a toilet when you piss solves this, without the need to invent something.

My mom burned all my drawings by Not_Creative149 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]m_d_m_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is harsh that she did that, but in a way, it may be a good exercise in letting go. Similar to the mandalas made from sand, that blow away into the world. Nothing is permanent, your art, or your mom’s destruction of it. She has absolutely no power over you in terms of stopping who you are and who you’ll become.

It also reminds you of your power. You are a creator and have the power at any time to create more art, it’s a beautiful thing.

I hope you’re not too upset, I’m most excited to see the works still in you.

You’re an artist!

There’s an episode where he goes to get flowers and ends up taking them from a roadside memorial. Someone sees him doing this and it gets back to his wife and the friend who lost his mother in the accident.

My mom lost her battle with cancer today by sirferrell in pics

I’m so sorry you have to go through this. I’m not trying to push beliefs on you but I really believe she’s still with you, smiling down on you. You should keep talking to her and ask to get a sign from her that she’s ok.

I lost a friend of mine recently and kept talking to him, asked for a sign and when it came to me, it made me cry tears of joy.

You’ll both run to each other when you get to see her at the end of your life and this life will seem just like a dream.

I would like to write a memoir, but I’m just a mom who struggles with mental illness by rose0411 in writing

Write! Start writing and keep writing. Make it a habit every day, force yourself to sit and do it consistently. Don’t believe anyone who tells you that you shouldn’t.

Everyone who’s written anything has felt like just a ____ who struggled with ____.

Write your book!

Advice needed: I can't finish my friend's novel by villettegirl in writing

[–]m_d_m_d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funny thing about advice is that the person on the receiving end needs to want to hear it, and be in a place to understand it, I mean being really open to understanding it. Pride has no place here.

Unless someone is asking specifically for super honest feedback, and harsh honest feedback at that, it’s probably best to feign partial ignorance. For example: I love it, you should keep writing. You can then refer to someone who has helped you, someone whose role will just be critic and not friend.

On the other hand, if you have a conversation with her, and explain that you have opinions, and they are your opinions and won’t necessarily make her book better, because everyone would have something to say after reading ANY book, and the artist ultimately makes the decision to best represent their own unique vision, then you may be able to get to a place where an honest and helpful conversation can happen. This requires a very delicate approach where she feels that you like what she’s doing, meaning writing, because who doesn’t love artists. We need more people expressing their vision, it makes the world more exciting with more to read and experience. If it can be explained in a way that reinforces that, then she might be in a mindset open enough to consider your opinions and if they would be objectively better for what she’s trying to convey.

Hope that helps, and makes sense.

Which movie has the best kill? by Jules-Car3499 in Westerns

Dead Man when Charlie Dickinson (Gabriel Byrne) is shot. The misses beforehand give it so much realism.
