Please take a comforting realistic affirmation and pass it on (again. This time for a week :] )

You are doing what you can. It is enough.

It has been okay before, It will be okay again.

You don’t have to love yourself. First, you just have to not hate yourself.

You’re special because you’re the only you, not the only one feeling this.

Know that you can’t save everyone. Remember that you can try.

This too shall pass.

You are capable of so much more than you think.

You are not a failure. No matter what.

Treating yourself with kindness is harder than it sounds. But don’t give up.

You’re doing so well. I’m so proud of you.*

*it may not seem like I can be, but seeing that someone needed to hear it and so they let me say it makes me so so proud. It’s a bit of an oroboros but we’re ignoring that. <3

ok, so, hear me out, autistic Henry fire emblem, and he got locked in the spikes closet for showing any traits of it (stimming, not being able to focus, bad textures. Etc) except his special interest is dark magic (the American version says he was in a magic school, the Japanese version says orphanage, I imagine it being kinda both where they’re training orphan children in magic to be child soldiers) so his teachers think he’s very smart, but also a problem student, so in to the spikes closet with him. And Henry started hiding all of this by the time he joins the shepherds

(This has been in my drafts since may, but at this point I’m pretty sure I’m autistic, and I still like the Henry autism headcanon so it’s getting posted now)

Been feeling really tired lately (or at least way more tired than usual lol) so doctor was called about it, but he doesnt want to do blood work until next month (perhaps because we just did blood work) so I guess I’ll just be tired until then

That’s it. I’m just tired and complaining about it.

I already took a nap today…..I need another one…

“Your art isn’t valued by the number of notes you get” okay but. If you spent 6 hours baking a cake for a party, but no one at the party eats your cake, it’s still disappointing.

This articulates something about the different between value and validation that I didn’t previously register on a conscious level.

This is why I tell people I feel more like an entertainer than an artist.

I want to hear them laugh, chat, comment, speak, roar, cry, get irrationally angry, I need people to respond to my art and get inspired and need more.

I don’t want a note, I want a response.

Responses are very nice. I like reading over them. They make me feel fuzzy. Of course, likes and reblogs are also very appreciated, but responses make me feel a special kinda fuzzy.

That’s the thing about the “oh, create for yourself, don’t worry about other people!” attitude (that almost exclusively comes from non-artists and people who have tons of followers and routinely get tons of validation for SOME reason) that doesn’t quite work. I guarantee you, most of us already ARE creating for ourselves above all-

But we POST our creations for human connection, and that’s not a bad thing.

sagechanoafterdark

I’m not sure when we all got to the point where wanting validation for something you worked hard at is seen as a bad thing. That you’re pathetic for wanting.

If you think that way it’s not only toxic as hell it’s killing creators.

Creating isn’t easy. When there’s nobody to look at your work and say, “You did a good job. This was hard.” The drive and ambition disappears, then so does the work.
