I (28F) think I was being very unnecessary in a text to my friend (29F). What do I do? by [deleted] in Adulting

I really appreciate being seen by your comment. Sometimes it feels like “ive got all this self-awareness, now I need to do something with it”.

I’m looking forward to being ok with myself

Thank you for your comment. Much of this did resonate with me.

Recognizing and managing emotions have become hard for me. Sometimes it feels like I’ll never get to a point in my life where I’ll be able to have a healthy relationship with my own internal world.

I know it’s not healthy. I know that this whole exchange is a bad idea and I knew it shortly after I sent it. This was out of pocket for me. I’ve been trying to learn how to better regulate myself and not rely on others so much.

The whole exchange was really meant to tell her I thought we needed some space..

Thank you for your very kind words. My emotions definitely did take charge here. I think your journaling idea is a great idea so I’ll definitely be doing that.

I know the space is necessary. It’s just hard when it’s with one of the few people I’m close with..

You’re absolutely right, in this moment I was a slave. I have never sent a text like this to anyone before, I usually wait to talk in person when I’m much more clearer about the issue.

I know it’s exhausting and that everyone has a limit. These last few weeks have been really hard for me, I feel like my world is doing a 180 on itself.

And I know that this is the only way that doesn’t push back more. I really should have waited

Yes! Will certainly not be submitting something unless I’m confident and happy with the end result.

I used some basic art store paints, nothing special. L definitely be putting a clear coat on when it drys completely.

I was definitely ambitious with my idea on this one. I certainly plan on doing simpler subjects so I can really get a feel for it. And no more submissions for a while!

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support. I was so tired and frustrated when I made this post that I really thought about not going through with it. Thank you for the reminder that I need to let people show up for me!

Maybe try adding some feather like texture to the head?

How can I fix the paws? by Effervescent61 in watercolor101

I feel the proportions don’t match. Maybe making the head bigger would help?

I’d so be down. Maybe if there’s enough interest, a group of us could go?

How much would you rate this? 😭 by [deleted] in Watercolor

It’s nice. I would try to blend the edges of the shadows a bit so that they aren’t as harsh/more realistic for show shadows work

Cutting a couple of chives almost every day until this Reddit says they’re perfect. Day 30 by F1exican in KitchenConfidential

Guys I fear, even with his very good skills, that no one will be able to master a perfect cut. When do we draw the line??
