Throughout my life art has been the constant space in which I’ve been able to deal, to process. Expressing feelings into pages, letting my line work speak the words I can’t. For a time even that had been taken from me. That joy and release because I’d been made to feel inadequate, lacking. And perhaps unironically my skill had dropped in tune with my mental state. Something I hadn’t realized until I began to miss it. Began to miss the confidence I had before. drawing, still provides part of my mental therapy, though more so for me, it’s storytelling. Writing, sequential art, expressing what I bottle up vicariously. I cant tell you how many times I’ve cried over my paper because what I was drawing allowed me to feel, allowed me to open that dam. The space between my hand, pencil and paper is sacred to me. aside from that, especially in recent years, I’ve come to cherish what few close friends I’ve kept through the years. My sister, my best friend, my cousin and my church family. People who genuinely care for me. (Which I still struggle with. Believing that people genuinely care) but I’m learning to lean on that, and open up to them more. It’s been a wealth for my mental health and strength. Privately also I’ve found that if I neglect my prayer life, my mental health begins to suffer. I need those quiet moments alone with God. also i make a point to spend one 24 hour period a week to not work. To disengage from that aspect of life and let my brain refresh oh also…my dog. Stupid awesome for my mental health.

dear Narg there's a faction i wish to demolish. or at the very least humiliate for the heck of it. thoughts on how i should proceed? moridin

true ....for now

hey narg, i dont want to work today. but if i dont the Dark One will be mad. what should i do?

Dear narg i have a…..pet. It’s become quite attached, following me everywhere, all up in my business. How do I get it to stop? -Moridin

there is a point at which both are true. when you both confront a wrong, stand up and not accept it then once that's accomplished you wipe your hands and be the bigger person in the terms Heavy meant. walk away from the toxicity because it'll only feed it. but i know you both know and exemplify this.

100% i fear/dread what i attempt all the time. partially because i know that that's the only way to grow. is to do the scary thing

sounds like a topic for the Whites.
