[Orange Wizard]

I'm getting really fucking sick of my parents telling me that all children these days are spoiled brats. If I argue back they just say that that's part of the problem.

Old people are good at generalising. My parents do the same.

As do mine. Though mine usually add "but you're not so bad, [name]" to take away the sting, hehe.

I'm just gonna laugh at the irony of this for a while, if you don't mind.

Of course you will.  Old people always belittle the plight of younger generations!

And I can't shake of the feeling that all my problems are in my mind, and that I am only selfishly seeking attention.

Okay, so, dirty secret of the universe. That's where all problems are. They're only problems because they hurt, and that's something your soul does. Your problems are as real as anybody else's. They may be different problems, but they're still real problems. If you need help to deal with them, that's okay. You don't need to feel guilty for it.

Nothing selfish about wanting help with problems, Caroline. Nobody's an island, and most humans function best with help from others. You deserve it just as much as the next person. *awkward shoulder pat*

Teaching does seem to take a certain type of personality, but it might be worth it to give it more than two days. At least it doesn't sound like anything is going horribly wrong! Kid sounds adorable =D

Hey kettle? This is pot, how's your wife doing? Yeah, so I have something important to tell you about your paint color...

also i so badly want to believe that i could just hold a long-running fundraiser for myself where i stream and doodle things and then people would shower me with money but alas

That's what Patreon is all about.

i have a link squarely in my signature and literally one (VERY KIND AND AWESOME) patron

:v

Haven't really advertised it much, though. Problem is that i can't quite decide how to go about it. I don't want to lock any of my stuff behind a paywall, so basically i'd be entirely reliant on the goodwill of the people who actually want to support me. Still, i'd need to rack in like 600 dollars a month, which is QUITE A LOT OF GOODWILL. Still, i suppose i most certainly won't be getting anything if i don't DO anything.

Junk mailer.  ;P

Hey, you haven't tried it yet.

Well hey, someone's got to supply the junk mail. :v
Also yes, i haven't tried yet, so technically i don't know. Maybe??

I mean, I'd only do Patreon if the artist has a webcomic or something that gives me a stake in them working full time on drawing, tbh :V

I wouldn't give money to a random person who draws. I mean, I want to help everyone, but if I do that I might as well give money to everybody, which I can't.

oh god
waking up and then vomiting ughgggh

Being sick is awful, children. Let it be heard by all.

Everybody said what I'm gonna say already 

I've spent a lot of time feeling terrible or feeling terrible about feeling terrible lately.

I really want to talk to someone, but I can't.
I stayed inside my head for too long, I tried to ignore everything for too long and now it's all a massive mess again.
And I'm really tired, and I really want to stop feeling trapped once and for all.

But right now it doesn't look well. I have two more years of this to look forward to if I'm extremely lucky. If I am not, then it's going to be more like something from ten years to the rest of my life.

And I can't shake of the feeling that all my problems are in my mind, and that I am only selfishly seeking attention.

Caroline, I'm sorry if we're pretty unhelpful here sometimes. Mostly for me it's because you literally have more life experience than me at this point, so there's nothing I can say that you haven't already thought of. All I can say is that I believe in you, and if you can live through this then nothing will be able to hold you back.

It's really an unfortunate fact that there's nothing I can offer you more than sympathy. Hell, I didn't even go through a turbulent childhood like Tiruin so I can't even offer mutual understanding.

I'm pretty much the archetypical spoiled brat. I might even have a little royal blood because apparently there's nothing like overkill when it comes to heaping the good things on people who don't deserve it.

[Solifuge]

Peeps had some good things to say already. Just tacking on that there's no sense beating oneself up about not being something or someone else.

Just keep being the best you that you can be from day to day. That's precisely enough.

I need to start a self-help quotes thread...

[Spehss _]

Depressed and shit. Stressed out, feel like screaming, life is pointless.

[chaotic skies]

Same old thing; social anxiety to the extreme over little things (dizzy, red-faced, heart beating in my ears, ect.). Usual crap from crappy friends. Normal levels of self-deprecation over little things. All in all, I've hit my normalish state of affairs today. [/sarcasm]

the end of an era

[Gentlefish]

Hey, it's not selfish to want to feel good. I mean, we all want to feel good. If you need an outlet, my inbox is open.

EPP: I bet it's an april fool's joke. I hope oh god
