PLEASE SHARE YOUR ART IN THE COMMENTS 🫶I need to see people finishing their art and I want to look at it ❤️ especially emotionally charged art... the 2nd&3rd blue paintings have sooo many tears in the paint when I was having my wlw limerence crisis.
Also.. think about how you knew you were done and did enough, and didn't want to add anything else, and maybe add that to the comment 🤣
NONE of these are actually done and I'm struggling with why they look unfinished. I thought maybe its because it's not hung up and they've just been hanging up ever since. I usually finish off my art with a sealant spray but you can't paint over it if you decide to add more.
I used to use art to cope with my overwhelming emotions and I've been experiencing really intense emotional waves lately, and for the first time ever in my life, creating has led to the feeling of being a failure. This has never happened before, art has always been my safe place where even failure is actually winning as long as you just try and have fun.
I'm starting to get older and art doesn't have the same connection to my identity or self worth anymore. I'm not a cool, deep, interesting mysterious artist chick with an addiction and a tragic backstory painting my pain anymore, I'm an adult woman amateur whose place is always messy because I hoard art supplies, painting whatever I think will lessen the emotional load that's constantly aflame inside my chest, and it doesn't work, and I feel as though my feelings are infantile because my age changed from 29 to 30. I feel like a 13 year old again drawing vampires and fairies with tiny waists and huge eyes, obsessed with escapism into fantasy born in a world with no magic. I feel like what im going through is a phase and that it is meaningless and transitory.
Someone please tell me how stupid I'm being. All advice is welcome, whether its about art or feelings.

One of the most valuable skills that can be learned.

We don't see things as *they* are, we see them as *we* are, right?
I keep seeing that video with the girl asking her bf to peel her an orange and he responds with something like "I don't help you because I'm trying to build you up as a female" AND THEN "you're not even that special" 😳
It literally crushes me that people like that exist and at the end of the post, i'll tell you why.
If I said "can you peel this orange for me baby?" my husband would be confused, but he would do it happily, and probably steal a slice. If he said "I'm so hungry, but I don't know what to eat," I would help him look in the cabinets and offer to cook and he might say yes or he might want to cook it himself if it's meat. It's just not that hard to be nice to your partner.
I feel so bad and heartbroken for people who are aggressive and mean like the man in this video because it shows *that's* how he was spoken to growing up and he has never healed that inner voice, or his inner child's rage. Every inner belief is taught, every behavior has a thought or a belief guiding it. He was likely taught that to ask for help will or should result in ridiculing the person until they do it themselves, and that you're actually "helping them" or "teaching them some kind of lesson." In reality, small acts of service make a society worth living in, they are part of the reason humans are pack animals, they are something you can do no matter your age or condition or if you have money or anything else. Being raised unkindly will result in a backwards world view that being cruel is appropriate bc it makes the other "tough," when we should not have to build toughness through cruelty and abuse to survive in the first place.
When you are born in a burning house, you will believe the whole world is on fire.

I'm changing up my page a little bit to reflect the change in my life. Obviously I'll still have your grippy memes but more resources as well and focused on what I ACTUALLY spend most of my time on Facebook doing, which is supporting people and providing resources as well as following up with them and providing encouragement throughout the journey. Peer Support and Recovery Coaching are what I spend most of my time online doing, and I want to have a place to do that without flooding my private, personal fb with that content.
