#i need to start Actually drawing daily again im going a little insane

[notsodaily-mother]

day 50: putting off the thing i had planned because im artblocked, homestuck au thing from a week or two ago be upon ye

[theendofuno]

okay….haii tl;dr: i want to throw myself from a reactor nuclear and besides loving this page dearly keeping it daily isnt helping me with these kinda of thought so ill start a god-knows-who-long hiatus

now *puts a music box version of meltdown by iroha for dramatic purposes* *cleans throat* pretending im talking to an audience its easier for me okay dont judge me :(

i dont know how to write texts but ill try my best to explain everything without going into too much annoying stuff but the text may have a few suicide mentions here and there

okay

i created this page in a very dark period of my life that never went away, it actually worsened everyday. it was supposed just to be fun and games, "oh this character didnt got released this month, maybe drawing him everyday for a month until he gets here will be very funny!!!" *stares at 2 years*

as you can see, i didnt had ANY prepare to keep going for the long we did, but this is 100% not a complain

i really love this page, i really do love everyone i've met, i love having this project with my best friend, but i cant and wont lie: it made me VERY worse than i already was. it made me feel good, it made me feel loved, it made me feel human again, and at the same time it absolutely killed me

having to keep this consistence everyday, having to do good drawings, not allowing myself to do what it was better for my own health just because i didnt wanted to disappoint people with silly drawings when the first week was all cool drawings full colored with a bunch of details, references and etc

i really lost my count of how many times i had a terrible breakdown or even an attempt and my first thought was just "yeah that sucked. anyway i have to work so people will have some art tomorrow!"

and to be honest i dont think starting this page with my friend was…..that of a good idea. i know youre here just for their art. you dont need to lie i know theyre better than i am and you would prefer to see their art everyday other than mine. dont worry the feeling its mutual

but well theyre a slow artist and i wont be the one forcing them to draw everyday, i am the one that can do it and thats what i did for 300 days until now!

but that was something that kinda broke my feelings also cuz im very harsh on myself and keeping comparing their drawings to mine, not only the quality but also the different attention it all got (and sometimes it was almost a 20 likes difference so..sucks to be me ig) isnt doing good for my little damaged brain. its 100% not their fault tho and im not saying it is KJGDKFDK but if im going to be honest then i will

i dont know how to keep going the text tbh,, so,, my point is that im havent felt well since i started the page, and i love it with my whole heart, and these feelings have nothing to do with uno, grand chase itself, or the community (maybe a 2% fault go for annoying people from twitter /hj), im just being a little egoistic and doing this for myself or otherwise i can go completely insane and well. psych wards dont look funny :(

i really feel nasty, an HORRIBLE human being, absolute egoistic trash by abandoning the page, i feel SO FUCKING BAD for not drawing my son, by not updating here everyday and allowing people to see the silly stuff i do, but i guess i got to my breaking point where i just cant keep ignoring my suicide attempts by drawing and keeping my mouth shut (really, my last attempt was so scary i didnt fully recovered from)

yeahhhhhhh

i guess that was it

i pinky-promise i'll try my best to keep drawing and posting everytime i can, but it wont be daily, and it may not be weekly also, but i didnt gave up and i WONT gave up, this page is my absolute pride and joy and i cant just let it go away for a bad mental day. i still love and forever will love uno and drawing him, and i'll be forever happy for everyone i've met and helped me even without they knowing, just by liking or commenting on my stuff

i hope you guys can forgive me for abandoning stuff right now and i hope y'all dont forget me. i wont be mad if you forget me. i'll just be a little sad. maybe cry a little *stares at you like that ( ◕_◕)* but dont worry. its okay.

i'll be trying my best to get back posting daily at least around day 330, but dont put high hopes. please. dont expect much. bigs chances i'll be just dropping a stick man with a heart ahoge saying haiiiii and go back to posting silly ugly art

i feel so endlessly frustrated at myself because i can see the patterns of my thoughts, know the logical and practical steps i need to take in order to fix them, and i just...cant do it. i acknowledge that these feelings cycle; im a sucker for nostalgia. i look at all of these things ive shared with my friends, all these memories and selfies and fun times, and i know i can have that again. and i know that i just look at these things and think that “things were better then”, because its so easy to trick yourself into thinking that when all youre seeing is a condensed collection of happy times. i think 2016. that was easily one of the worst years of my life, or at least the ones with the most changes. it was the 180 flip from child to adult, the year i lost so much of my identity, and gained a new one. i was mentally and physically a completely different person by the end of that year. and yet, i look through these photos tonight and see just how many jokes and fond memories i shared with my friends. maybe because i was 19/20, i still had that immaturity about me so i was able to let loose. maybe being isolated inside for 2+ months has made these selfies sting more. maybe i miss when we were all in school and not at work, when we could all plan get-togethers a little easier. idk.

but this wasnt meant to be a nostalgia rant, but its definitely triggered those thoughts.

because in all these group selfies i saw tonight i saw how insanely different i looked within a year. it was when i developed my starving-orientated disordered eating, it was when i came out as trans and so changed my hair and wardrobe. 2016 was fucking wild. and i saw glimpses of how i used to be, and how despite being in so much pain, that was the year i took a leap and finally did something for myself that would set me up for success, rather than failure. and i dont do that for myself often. and im prouod of younger me for doing that.

because it shows that, no matter how much pain i have continuously been in for almost my entire llife, that i can take steps to improving my life. even though coming out as trans is not the same as confronting trauma, i think living as a truer reflection of who i am has definitely helped me feel more comfortable and confident.

and i want to lose weight again, because the confidence i radiated at my peak ED/lowest weight was unmatched to antyhing ive ever felt before. Ive gained a bit of the weight back (which funny enough since being on hrt i still look different/different weight distribution), but i want to lose it again in a healthy way. and i know i have to get out of my feedback loops and actualy work for it, as hard as fuck as it may be.

i dunno man. im nearly 24. i know thats still 6 years left of my 20s, but if ive learned anything from the past few years, its that they go by fast and i will be pushing 30 before i know it. and i dont want to be fucking 30 years old and still not have worked myself out. i mean, its ok if me or others havent, but i just. i dont know. i dont want to turn 30 and say “aha cool thats 20 years i have been extremely suicidal and self harming and full of trauma and brain rot”

which is why, as hard as it is, im really trrying to get the ball rolling on geting diagnosed with whatever-the-fuck-i-have. getting the ball rolling for me has taken ...well...ive received it, convinced myself its not worth it, and stop it. i cant keep running away from help. its discouraging when your professional is a bit shit so. idk. i know ya gotta keep trying. 

i need to start an exercise routine, just doing my daily walks again would help so much, because my body is in so much pain from a sedentary lifestyle. 

the most ive done is actually start drawing daily, which was previously really hard for me to do. im proud of myself for that. i want to release my webcomic, i want to consistently do commissions, and i cant do any of my artistic goals with my previous workflow i only have just managed to improve on.

and thats the hardest thing about being mentally ill. you have to put more effort in to survive, the odds are stacked against you, and you have to set up and stick to methods that’ll help, even though that means fighting against symptoms that discourage and impact u so severely. and it also means some days you cant fight it, and you have to give up. relapse happens. im just tired OF it happening.

though, i thankfully feel different. as a teen, i felt there was no way out besides suicide, as a fresh adult i realized there is hope, and i have ambitions and something to give to this world, but i was still very suicidal, and still lived wallowing and unable to get out. but as a young adult, i know i have to set up my life now to pave the path for the future. ive always been screaming for a release,and that release used to be suicide. now? my release is mental wellness. and fuck, its the much harder path to take. bpd, cptsd, whatever, it rots my brain and drags me down and makes me act on bad habits and behaviours, but dammit. one day im going to get that release.

maybe not all of it, maybe not till im 40.

but one day.

im going to look back and see how i am now as how i used to be, not what i still am.

maybe one day i’ll experience that release..

Guess what? Chanyeol wants to go out with you, but because he's a precocious scamp, he insists you find his 8 fellow band members dates before your own date can start. SHIP SOME MUTUALS with the other 8 EXO members or you do not pass go and you do not collect Chanyeol.

oh my lord i havent seen one of these in ages. aw. these are always so cute and make me really happy so. ok!

thank you chanyeol for asking me out. it is HIGH TIME YOU GOT YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. i cant wait for our incredible dinner date.

@from-dae-do-dae - is going on a date with jongdae. not because she biases him but because they are actually really, really good for each other. i talk with fei basically every single day and here is what i know: these two together would be one of the most devoted, hardworking couples around. supporting each other with their work and their hobbies, making sure they count blessings in their days - constant positivity. theyre both insanely excellent communicators and also - DID YOU KNOW FEI IS HILARIOUS? she is. shes amazing. theyd keep each other laughing non stop. shes the soft gentle cuteness to balance the noise of him. i love it

@queenoftheimpala - is going on the loudest date with a mr byun baekhyun! ali is IRL my best friend in this world. she gets me and knows me even when im saying nothing, and much the same - i know her. she needs a baek. shes quiet until you draw her out of her shell, and much like her relationship with jungkook baek is the type to draw her out and make sure EVERYONE sees how hilarious she is. also they both do this thing that when they look at people they are fond of, it looks like theyre staring into their soul. these two like...would stare at each other and others and everyone would be like ‘holy shit, cutest couple alert right there’ and im just....hyping this up like a windsock person in the back lmao

@kpopandlock - jongin is losing his ass at 600mph knowing that hes about to go on a date with his future wife. again, i do not do this because she biases him i do this because jongin literally needs kara. let me preface this by saying its gonna be WORK at first because these two are the most bashful, coy lil cuties who like...feel so intensely they almost shut down because they feel Too Much. what could bring them together? ill tell you: dogs. cliche? maybe but its true. these two will be going to an animal shelter to play with dogs and while they play with dogs, they will realize they are the same person. kara tho, once you get to know her, is hilarious and energetic, and shed bring out his playful side. theyd compliment one another not diminish one another. also, shed help him find everything he loses. also, ultimate napping couple. 

@co-kai-ne - when i tell yixing that hes going on a date with sofi, his eyes literally light up. i talk to sofi almost daily and just...shes literally the softest? like, really caring and affectionate - funny! but also just so sincere and genuine that i feel like she needs yixing to compliment her. hes just sassy enough to bring out her whimsical side but the two of them would be so affectionate and genuine, theyd heal everyone the minute they walk into the room. hed be so committed and supportive shed feel like she can accomplish anything she wants, and shes so open he would be able to open up to her, tell her when hes low, and release his burdens. theyd be so soft id literally very every second. 

@pebble-xo - jade is about to go on her fifth date with sehun. this is my brunch couple - soft kids who love everyone Too Much but also are so sassy when they want to be. going out to brunch with them means either judging everyones outfits (because holy crap, jade can dress!!!) or really cute soft convos over champagne about how much they love life. also, have you seen jade? she and sehun = worlds most beautiful couple im dying

@yeol-stole-my-soul - junmyeon cannot wait to go on a date with his new fave partner in crime, maria. now listen, i know she does not bias but i talk with maria a lot and she is SO good at taking care of others, being supportive, being like...a mom, suho would be her partner in making sure everyone feels some kind of love. also, maria needs someone who will take care of her. affectionate, reminding her to eat well, take her vitamins, also someone who will speak with her very openly about issues. also - dad joke couple right here omg we will all groan when they start to goof off but secretly our hearts will be soaring.

@nunchiwrites - at this point, sweet nunchi and soo are a well established couple so when i shove them out the door for their date, theyre already pretty eager. nunchi is like...a literal actual soft angel. genuine and cute and kind and so sincere. shes quiet and so is soo, but trust me they both are so funny when they choose to be. this the couple that doesnt come out often because they enjoy having nice lazy reading days or because theyd already planned on doing their own thing, like going to nice restaurants or seeing indie films. this the couple we all secretly envy - their insta is so aesthetically pleasing we all die a little any time they post something. big mood

@yeolology - minseok literally is so excited to spend a night with bee. bee is like...the cutest but also fiercest and also sassiest angel around. who does that sound like? minnie. these two i feel like, while they might go on many dates, might never really make it to officially dating but thats ok! because they are friendship soulmates. i think in each other they will find a person they need, someone they can trust implicitly. mature, witty, and incredibly wise. they both are incredible playful and teasing (also beautiful, wow) but also VERY good at giving sage advice and making sure they, and their friends, feel supported. also, this couple will be made of nonstop laughter. my tiny heart

thank you anoni! i havent seen these in a while and this was nice to do
