“Never accept the world for what it appears to be, Dare to see it for what it could be.”
- Harold Winston (Overwatch)
This art (That honestly isn’t as impressive as I wish I’d be) is an homage to my friend, Lucca. A friend who deserves to have a bit of happiness. A friend who isn’t feeling well with himself and unfortunately, in my position, I’m not able to help him much. But nonetheless, this lil’ guy keeps on walking and making himself worth something by drawing what he loves. He still has his head up. So this art goes to him. I hope it brings you a smile, Lucca. I support your work and your talent. Don’t give up! @ayeleisis
This brings me to my next point. An important one that involves everyone…literally everyone. So buckle up, because I’m about to sound extremely cringy, hippie like(I don’t know) and as cheesy as one of those overlycheesed out hamburgers you see pictures off.
(VERY LONG TEXT, YOU MAY SKIP THIS IF YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE READING STUFF FROM PEOPLE’S HEART OR ANYTHING. NO FORCING. HAVE A NICE DAY ‘LAD!!)
A lot of people in this planet struggle with different sorts of problem that ruins their life. One of those effective ones is the one that is always near us no matter what. Our mind. Our mind is an effective weapon that can tear us apart for some of the dumbest reasons but also make us feel good about ourselves.
“How can our mind fuck with us? I’ve lived a pretty nice life and my mind is doing just fine!”
Good point. It IS illogical for us to make ourselves feel bad about situations. It does make no sense. But however, our minds are structured by the way our life is progressing. If in our life we’ve had no problem, no major events that can make our mind think another way, then YES you are correct. Our mind will be just fine. Or will it be? Unfortunately, WE are all different. Now I’m not saying here we are all special snowflakes. What I AM saying is in terms of facts, WE ARE DIFFERENT from one another. We do not live all the same life. We do not procced information the same. We do not adapt the same way. Thus, this makes all of our minds completely different.
Now where am I going with all of that ramble you might ask…
Well, I want to touch upon the people that suffer from their minds. All of em’, people using attention seeking methods to feel good, people that desire to always stay alone to not hurt their loved ones with their problems, people who have suicidal thoughts and feel worthless, people who judge themselves way too harshly, you get the point. There is so many different ways of suffering from our mind.
Recently, IHE uploaded a video talking about his experience with anxiety and other problems that are bothering him often.
That video made me think a lot. Not only for the people I care for but also for me. I, myself, am constantly struggling with myself when making content. Is it worth putting this up? Will people care for this crap? Why do I bother making these videos? No. No…and because it makes me feel well. Despite the harsh criticism I give myself every time I make something, I continue making stuff because I feel like this challenges my mind. Challenging my mind to me is the same as challenging someone else. Basically, I’m proving my dumbass self I’m not such a piece of shit despite calling myself one.
That’s what a lot of people have trouble with. Proving their worth. Many people that struggle with mental disorders have a problem with finding why are they important in this planet. Why bother when no one really cares. In a way, it’s correct. Out of 7 billion humans, you, me or anyone else is not a massive deal. In a way, yes, we are not important…However, we can make ourselves important. How, you wonder? Fight yourself…not physically dummy…I mean mentally of course. Whenever your mind tells you something similar to “You are not good at doing this” and then makes you go “mmmh true I’m not gonna bother”. Do the opposite, especially when it’s something you love and have a fond for. Example ART.
“But fuckface, I CANT DRAW. I never learned it…I’m not gonna bother with something I can’t do”
True…but again…you do have a fond for it. Soooooo, in that case, learn how to. Go on the internet, look up references, look at models, follow your favorite artists, look at how they do it, ask for guidance, IT’S ALL OUT THERE. GO NUTS. HELL. DEVELOP YOUR OWN WAY OF ARTING. INSTEAD OF MAKING REALISTIC HUMAN BODIES, REPLACE THEIR ROUNDY PARTS BY FUCKING DORITOS.
Life is never going to be easy. It will not hand you over a nice delicious plate full of all your expectation that you can eat up and then be happy. It would be lovely but then life would be boring really quickly…You have to keep fighting. A lot of people will disagree with you and that’s okay. Not everyone will like what you do and that’s okay. Not many persons will like you back and that’s okay.
As humans, we disagree with a lot of things, it’s important to keep ourselves ready whenever we get it directed towards us. Try to learn and use it as an asset instead of taking it like a knife. Take it like a book that someone gives you and you can correct it by making it better yourself. Not by erasing what you don’t like, but by writing something that is better. By improving it.
No matter what you do, you will never have everyone on your side and you must accept it…as harshly as it may sounds, you cannot force people to like what you do. AND GUESS WHAT?! NO NEED TO. They don’t like it? That’s all good, keep on trying to improve what you love and eventually you will see the right people that care for it come to you and either approve with you or help you make it better.
Unfortunately…not everyone will like you back. It’s a harsh truth. You might try to change yourself to be noticeable to the ones you love but do not forget…stay always true to yourself. Change too much and one day you might end up being disappointed for what you have become. It’s important to also love yourself…even if sometimes it can be hard.
“OMG Beta, not EVERYOOOOONE can learn easily. Some people’s disorder preveeeents them from learning in a proper way”
A good amount of people have disorders that yes, not only it makes them struggle in the ways they live their life but also makes them sad about themselves. I do not exclude these people. If you are one of those kind of persons, you are not alone. Gather with them, sharing a similar factor can help in order to achieve things. A lot of people are there as alone as you are with the same type of disorder. They will sympathize with you, they will understand you. If not, do not worry like I said. Other opportunities will come to you if you stay strong and you keep fighting. And if those disorders prevent you from doing much of the normal stuff, you will have people there to help you and protect you.
Just like IHE said in his video, you do NOT have to do this alone. In solitude. In despair. In pain. We are so many on this planet. So many of us searching for a voice to tell us wrong. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You NEVER are. Remember what I said about fighting yourself. I still mean it, push yourself, seek help. Seek doctors, seek therapist that will understand your mind very fast, seek people that share common interest with you, seek friends that you love hanging out with, seek environments that are equal to what you believe in. We are 7 billion human beings. All with different minds. Different bodies. Different preferences…but that doesn’t mean it should separate us from one another. We need to be united. Together as a whole. Lots of things that we thought looked terrible can in the end be just a small thing we worried for nothing. I know I will get a lot of people coming to me and fight me saying that it isn’t EASY to just go to a therapist and just let it all out. It isn’t EASY to just go find new people to be with. You are right, it takes a lot of courage inside to be able to do such thing. My message to you, keep fighting. Don’t ever give up. I know it doesn’t mean much but one day trust me, you will reach a point where that fight you’ve been doing with yourself will make you stronger. You will see that courage build up. Maybe not instantaneously. But it’ll come. It IS EASY and NOT. Don’t let your mind bring you down too much and prevent you from seeing it.
So…let’s get this trending…
To ALL OF YOU OUT THERE, who struggles with their minds, who struggles to find purpose and motivation. I INVITE YOU TO JOIN ME.
Go draw whatever you like!
Go write about whatever inspires you!
Go make music that you enjoy!
Go build something that makes your brain work!
Do ANYTHING. SHARE IT. SHOW IT OFF. DO NOT BE ASHAMED. Perhaps with this you will find people with your interest. Still don’t want to share? THEN DO IT ANYWAYS. PROVE THAT MIND THAT YOU CAN DO IT. If you do not wish to create, then spread the word. SPREAD IT LIKE A CANCEROUS PEPE MEME. Push yourselves right now. You are worth something, you just have to keep on walking on the road and keep on fighting. Just us. United together as people from this planet. Sharing a bond to feel better no matter what. Let’s put all this violence and hate aside for a moment. Let’s put our differences aside and just stay united. We are not alone. YOU are not alone. I’M not alone. We are determined to freaking do something out of our life.
…and if after this…thing I just wrote makes you still indifferent…still makes you feel alone, sad, in pain and helpless…then have these

Enjoy these content. Enjoy them, learn from them. If you can’t push yourself just yet, then maybe enjoy the lil’ things for now. No need to go away just yet, maybe these will cheer you a bit and bring you a little bit of happiness in your head until you gain a bit of strength to join in, in the good fight.
As for me well…this is my contribution. I needed to unwind and I’ve done this.
So yeah…that’s the whole post. Lots of you will prob’ call me an idiot for this. Some of you might consider this post as TUMBLERINA OMG(which I try to make it look like just a simple text but eeeh) and some of you will think I just wrote this to attract attention upon myself. Whatever you might believe…oh well…I can’t stop you. But Like I said, I sympathize with all of you. I feel the same when it comes to struggling with its own mind. I hope with this #unity thing, perhaps it’ll get peeps a bit closer…if it does…then I guess this post is as worth as the message IHE tried to do.
Maybe I will do a part 2 to this post…it is late…this came from the heart and brain so…yeah. Again, I’m sorry for the long post. I needed to say something about it. I hope you guys understand.
Stay strong out there, people.
Things aren’t over just yet.
