Dark passenger anon. Thank you for the response Void 🖤

You’re welcome

[vforvoid]

to that anon, honestly, it sounds like a good therapist would help immensely

[vforvoid]

Q&A is up btw!

[vforvoid]

For the past year I’ve had this lingering feeling and I found out what it was. It’s the feeling of guilt,regret and self hatred. Nobody knows how I’m feeling and I don’t wanna talk about it? I just feel like nobody would take me seriously or I would upset someone and it’s gotten to the point where I feel like I don’t deserve to live,I don’t wanna die but I’m just having a hard time with these thoughts and no matter what I do, that feeling is always there,when I wake up and when I go to bed.

Same anon. I call my negative feelings a dark passenger,it’s like I’m someone else and who I was once before isn’t there. I feel like don’t deserve to feel happy or feel better but I wanna feel like myself again and feel happy. I just always feel a crippling loneliness and that’s all the dark passenger who is causing these negative emotions and I want the dark passenger to go away,I wanna be myself again. I got the word dark passenger from a tv show but I’m using the word in a different context.

Dark passenger… Dexter reference, I think?I’m not sure exactly how to help as I’m not sure exactly what you’re experiencing. Where does the guilt and regret stem from? What can you do to come to terms with the parts of yourself feeling the guilt and regret? I can’t really give much advice there as I don’t know what it is but depending on what it is - have you heard of Carl Jung? His concept of the Shadow is very interesting to me and learning about it has helped a lot with my feelings of guilt and self deprecation. That may not be helpful, sorry if it’s irrelevant but thought I’d share in case you’re interested.I think if there is a friend or family member who you’re close with and would feel comfortable talking to them about it, they should care just due to the fact that you’d obviously be opening up to them about something that’s important to you. And (hopefully) they will be happy that you’re talking about it and trying to help this part of yourself rather than just bottling it up, so they would be justified in showing concern for you but I don’t think it should upset them. Of course I can’t tell you how people will react, especially as I don’t know who you talk to, but essentially I think that it is good to be open with people and with yourself.I always try to give as much advice as I can but obviously I don’t have all the answers, but I hope I could at least help by lending an ear even when my advice may not be helpful.

Hey void. No one ever takes my feelings seriously. If im mad or depressed they (fam, friends, etc.) tell me im just being dramatic or ridiculous or crazy. If something they do upsets me and i tell them, i get belittled and called extra or over dramatic. I dont understand why. People keep asking me to open more and talk but whenever i do i just get shat on.. it makes me feel so bad man lmao. Im a human. I have feelings too.. why do people constantly shit on them then get mad when i dont open up?

I’m sorry! I know how that feels and I know it hurts. You are allowed to have your feelings and you should have people that will listen to them and treat your thoughts with validity. Maybe just try to point it out to the next person that rudely shrugs you off. I’m sure it isn’t intentional to hurt your feelings. Sorry I can’t help more but I hope you find someone to open up to, or at least try to express your feelings through art or some form of expression.

hey void, i came out to my family as genderfluid today but they think it's part of being a 20-something and discovering yourself instead of a real gender identity. they're willing to use my name but not my pronouns (except my mother; she's going to try) and it really hurts to be brushed off like that. do you have anything to offer opinion-wise?

I’m sorry you didn’t receive such a good response from coming out, I know that brush-off can really hurt. Especially from loved ones and close family. 

I find it so silly that people are so quick to shrug off gender identities, or anything at all that comes down to our identity and expression, as a phase or as some sort of identity crisis. They act like it’s a bad thing to try to discover yourself. It is a real gender identity but it also IS part of discovering yourself, because in a binary world where we are only initially given the option of “boy” or “girl”, it does require learning about and discovering yourself in order to realize your gender does not fall into one of those two rigid categories. If you have a decent relationship with them and can have a conversation about it, I’d suggest trying to relate it to something they’re familiar with personally. Perhaps another aspect of their identity. Or remind them how their own gender identities are important to them too just as yours is, because most cis people don’t think about it at all since their identities are normalized but nobody likes to be misidentified and disrespected.

Hiya! I was just wondering if you recommend any good sites to get piercing jewellery from? Sorry if you've been asked this before, I'm just not really sure where to look. Thank you for your help <3

When will the Q&A be up?

Soon - I’ll be recording it in the next couple days! I’ve been very busy.

[vforvoid]

I’m doing a Q&A video and I’m taking questions on my most recent picture on instagram. Go leave your questions there if you’re interested! @vforvoid

(They don’t have to be makeup related. Rattle my brain)

Hi, Void! I just wanted to let you know that I finished my assignment and if you want to see it, you're welcome too. Just let me know how you want me to send it (I'll take a screenshot and send the photo however you want me to) but it's really shitty cause I was recovering from a hangover when I finished it lmao

Hi! Feel free to submit it here or send it in a DM on instagram. Haha props for finishing your assignment while hungover though

[vforvoid]

I'm using your art for an assignment I have to do in photography because I love your style and the stories that your photos tell

Thank you! If you want to/are able to share your assignment with me I’d love to see.

I have sensory issues with clothing but I love your style. Any tips on dressing unique yet comfortable? And ever planning on making jewelry pieces like yours but without the hair?

I’m not sure what comfort tips I can offer since comfort is subjective and I’m not sure what your particular sensory issues are, and I also don’t know how you’d like to dress since unique is so variable. For example you could go with asymmetrical layers of loose and flowy clothing, or just some simple pants and a shirt with perhaps a bold statement or art on it. Do whatever makes you feel how you’d like to feel.

As for the jewelry, I can make them without hair but as a commission for someone who specifically doesn’t want it with hair. Feel free to message me if you’d like me to make you one without!

[vforvoid]

More lil hair necklaces available - there's two left! http://shopexperiiimental.storenvy.com
