how did honey get in my bellybutton

new video! i share my story about mental health, black holes and pizza.

I've been taking my antidepressants/social anxiety meds for two years now and it's still hard to share that with people. But it shouldn't be. My anti depressants have given me a fighting chance at life. There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. Two years ago, I literally couldn't leave my house. As of last month, I've moved across the country by myself to pursue an art degree. Zoloft made it possible to improve my circumstances. I feel better than I ever have and It's fucking amazing. Now I just want to tell everyone in the hopes that it will reach someone who needs to hear it.

I'm so happy for you Dan. And I'm so proud of you for getting help and fighting for so long.

and I couldn’t be happier about it

Seriously, they have inspired me artistically. I spent the last few years of my life extremely depressed. My love and motivation for creating art was gone for so long. I gave up on ever having a career in art. I figured that there was no way I could ever make money. 

But one year ago, I started taking anti depressants. This was around the time that I started watching Dan and Phil. Phil became such a positive part of my every day routine. When every day is a battle, having something like his videos is so important. They are always there and they always make me laugh. 

Dan’s videos have been something else entirely for me. Following the story of his constant existential crisis and anxiety about the future was something I could relate to so much that it hurt. Being in your 20s with no plans is terrifying. His videos about dropping out of college and having no idea what to do were followed by videos and live shows about taking chances and doing what you love. And look at him now.

So, I’ve spent this past year trying to start an art career. I’ve sold so many pieces and even had a very successful showcase last week. But more importantly, I’ve started to enjoy art again. Being able to sit and just draw two nerds with no pressure to do so is now my favorite thing to do.

I hope more than anything that they see this. Because when I met them at TATINOF, I didn’t get the chance to thank them. I was lucky enough to get hugs and make jokes with them. 

These are the pieces they took. Handing them over to them was so freaking special. Dan said that they were fantastic and seemed so excited that I wanted to give them to them. I hope they look at them every now and then.
