in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

god it would be awesome if the human brain could just ignore an upsetting thing instead of constantly wandering back to it for no fucking reason

[looking at people younger than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at people older than me] you have your whole life ahead of you [looking at myself] its over

[mysticalcats]

it's really gross how you can be self aware enough to know what's going on in your head but you can't actually stop it from happening. i need to grab it like a pigeon that got stuck in a house and throw it out the window. be free

sometimes I wish I was a Christian so I could believe my suffering had a purpose but I’m not and it doesn’t

Thinking about a former friend who seems to be in a bad place, mentally. They've struggled with depression for a long time, but recently they've reached a point of lashing out at people out of the blue. They're not taking messages and I can't reach out to them otherwise, and forcing the issue from my end likely wouldn't help anyway. I just hope they have someone close to them who's able to intervene.

I don't understand how normal people just get along with strangers. This is an entire field of knowledge and skill that is unavailable to me, and trying on my own somehow makes things worse.

This paints such a beautiful picture

Girl suffering mental illnesses and crippling loneliness: “I’m struggling bad but it’s definitely my fault actually, I just need to try harder somehow. I just need to find a way to try harder”
