Did a big brave thing over the weekend and entered the daytime Afrovictorian ensemble in the Masquerade at Arisia

Guess what?

I won a Best in Show for both Workmanship and Presentation!

Hopefully they'll upload the professional photos soon but now I have to go plot for next year. I'm considering a riff on the Baddest Boss Babe in Bridgerton, Lady Danbury.

Have been thinking about killing myself recently but David Lynch dying is a reminder to endure and keep trying to get mentally healthy despite how hard it is and live for art. Lynch has said a lot about art and depression. He said contrary to what people like to say, it was not Van Gogh‘s suffering that made him a great artist, but his love for working on art in spite of suffering. He asserts that depression and suffering are the antithesis of creativity. I think it’s incredibly necessary for every artist to hear this. It’s something I really need to hear when I feel agony over the fact I can do so little at the moment, when people expect things from me or question why I haven’t done more and tell me “I thought you would have done more by now - you used to be such a motivated and creative young girl” (actual quote from my Dad). Personally, Lynch’s wisdom stops me from feeling ashamed of myself, makes me feel really understood and gives me something to reach towards and live for every day.

The balancing act of keeping your softness while making it clear you're not to be played with.

some of you are miserable because you're mean. like you're just mean to people and things

[detectivehole]

"why don't i have any friends" because you are mean
