Hun
Put that pencil down
Take a seat
Relax
Then you can think things through.

Feeling afraid of losing yourself sucks, but I don't claim to really know exactly what's going through your mind. All I know is that you need to calm down first so that you can think properly about this.

It's okay to cry
It's okay to vent
It's okay to reach out

I know you're really passionate about drawing, wooh nilly do I feel the same, but you still have to know when to take a break and do something that's out of your daily routine. For me, it does get boring if I just keep drawing on my sketchbook for prolonged periods of time. It ends up feeling like I'm just scribbling chicken scratches.

If you don't feel inspired to draw, that's fine. Inspiration comes and goes and you can't force it to come to you. It finds you. You just gotta keep yourself entertained while it's away.

Sanz....nothing you do is a waste of time. Everything you created, everything you made, is part of what inspired me to stay in this community, what inspired me to create, to write, to draw and other stuff. You can always take a break if you want, it helps breed inspiration, and if you ever feel scared, just remember, we are all here for you, no matter what you become or what you are.

Buddy, I know, I know you don't want to lose yourself and what you love to do.

The truth is, you're not alone in this situation. There are many others who I bet have been through this kind of events. And although I've never been through this before, I have been through enough to at least show empathy.

The future is unknown, you and I both know that. And, it could be scary. 

But you can't just give up. I know that the future might look frightening or dark. But just know, that there is always that rainbow that lies on the other side. Look forward, not to see the roadblocks, but see the path to the rainbow itself. Just listen to what's true to you, not darkness and losing yourself.

Also, talk to someone. I don't think I know you much, but what I DO know, is that there are people who care about you. They wouldn't want you to lose yourself either. So talk to them, friends, families, even yourself if need be. 

You've posted many art pieces on this website. But more than anything. You created a STORY, a world, unique to only you. And you decided to tell it to us. Art has been your friend, and it always will be. If you think otherwise. Look back. Look back on the journey you've had. Look back on the experience, on the people who admire you and your styles. The relationships you've formed over time. And look back on how you've changed and developed as your art became better and better. This was possible, because you believe in your art. And in return, it believes you. Don't loose hope, keep going. All you might need is just a little rest. And if so. Just let yourself rest. Just calm down, and meditate for a bit. Sometimes, some peace is all that someone needs.

It might seem like you're going to lose yourself, that you're falling into a dark abyss not being able to climb out. But know that everyone has their bright and rainy days. If you need to, just let yourself cry. I've said this to many others. And I know, that if you truly feel sad. Just let yourself cry. Let yourself cry knowing that there are people in this world that'll help you. That cares for you. That'll believe in you till the end of time. Most importantly, don't keep this inside you because you think you'll burden others. Let your feelings loose, tell them what's on your mind. And don't worry about crying. Because even if you do cry in front of them. I'm sure that they'll be there as someone you can rely on. (with a box of handkerchiefs too probably)

Lastly, I just want to thank you for sharing this with us. I know it must have been hard on you typing out that description. But hopefully, you feel better after getting that off your chest. And if you don't, find the people you can depend on, look back, reflect, until you find yourself again.

Becuase even though I'm not the best at cheering people up, understanding your feelings, and writing short paragraphs...

I DO believe in you. And I know that you'll make it past this dark valley... All the way...

To the rainbow on the other side

Look, you're not alone. This happens to me a heck of a lot as well. Its normal to be afraid of the future, and just don't give up. Do what you love. Not what... this darkness tells you to do. If you truly care about yourself, please get somebody irl to talk to about it. Talk to your friends or your family, cause even if you don't think its important, people are there for you for these reasons.

Just stay strong :>

It's alright. The future can be a scary thing, but the future doesn't come all at once. Remember those whose hand you held when you began your journey with your creations; revisit them and hold tight to them. You can find yourself, know who you are and be a better you for tomorrow to come.
