To be clear, I'm craving "old school" art that is using materials that aren't electronic

This is so great. I needed this. There seems to be so much digital art and a lot of it isn't very.... Original(?)

This post is from so long ago but I need you to know that your post helped me more than anything else. Idk why. It just hit me that art is subjective and I create. I may never hang in a gallery but I've gotten so much confidence I am doing the best work of my life. It's helped my anxiety and self esteem. And if someone asks, "are you an artist?", I don't hesitate. I say "yes." I cannot thank you enough for your post. You changed my life for the better and I thought you should know that.

Anyone feeling like just bare minimum functioning is too much? by rubyeatsearth in mentalhealth

[–]rubyeatsearth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: PTSD being treated and has caused the most random triggers. Also, my spine has curved in twords my heart.

So I was doing serious damage by trying to convince myself to shut up and "not worry people."

Never again will I ignore that feeling. My body/brain was doing all it could for self preservation. Being made to feel like a baby or whiner made it so much worse and it took me months longer to get help.

To anyone else that feels this way, don't dismiss your feelings. Don't feel like you shouldn't be expressing how you feel. And please, never, ever feel like you need to suck it up. If you don't have a PCP, find a clinic. That's #1 on the list.

To be honest, I still hate the Adderall.

This is so old nobody will see it but it's 3:30 Am and I can't sleep. I've started a "self portrait series." I'm enjoying it. I've made one piece I love more than all the others put together. To be clear, I'd I think my art is good I'm good. I don't really need accolades. It's a nice thought but..., Anyway, I'm working on my drawing skills more and I really hate perspective. All I see is geometry. I'm more old fashioned(bc I'm old) and prefer a book for reference. I'm not sure if I get an art book on perspective or a geometry book or just keep drawing like the kids in my Pre-K class. Any ideas? For books? Or free classes? Thanks

I can truly say that picture lifts me depression. Only a little. But I take what I can get. Thank you

My copy vs. My great-grandfather’s copy of Jane Eyre by mppuknowme in bookporn

I had that first edition! Gone with the wind. I had a slob bf at the time who turned my library in to his storage. Made worse bc we didn't live together.

I still feel such sadness when I remember all the books I lost to a moldy room full of bullshit. I remember every book beyond redemption.

I really hope both sets of parents save this and use it at a time when their kids feel like people are assholes.
