!! awh sweet angel !! thank you so much for sharing this with me - im grinning so hard right now :’+) i’m so grateful that i can help even one person out / bring them a lil smile just for a second.

everyone’s going through their own personal struggles n i’m so proud of your progress. it take’s effort to love yourself (by accepting that hey, here’s my flaws n qualities n these characteristics makes up for who i am - a unique individual). it’s definitely easier said than done as it’s a constant battle but take your time, baby steps, n remember there’s always tomorrow. reach out to others when you feel comfortable. you deserve to be happy n unconditionally loved n don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. thank you for trying your best - you’re so strong. take care angel !! i love you :’+)

also i came across this reddit post the other day n i wanted to quote some phrases i found:

You can be the ripest, yummiest, juiciest peach and there will still be people in the world who don’t like peaches.

The most important relationship you have is your relationship with yourself.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

You can talk back to your brain. Talk back to your bad thoughts and tell them they’re wrong. Not every bad thought is a reality. Also, bad days are okay. Bad day does not equal a bad life.

hey nonny :+)! thanks for taking the time out of your day to share ur opinion - i appreciate that. you actually bring a very interesting point! idk the technical name specifically, but rossdraws does this a lot w/ his works (painting over photographs). looking back (at exactly a year ago), i think my editing did evolve where i draw a lot more (hair, eyes, skin etc). i think im kinda hesitant in classifying my works as “art” since im using other people’s cc/ea content as a base (n it feels wrong? to say it’s art when i didnt make the content if that makes sense). i guess i see it as more an elaborative/detail-oriented type of editing? but im always honoured when people compliment on my work n call it as art :’’+) 

hey angel :+) !! i’ve always contemplated whether or not to make eye contact cc but as you can tell, the way i draw my irises always varies depending on the edit. unfortunately im a type of person who’s pretty self critical so ik ill be super meticulous n never be 1OO% satisfied kasdf (+ im always experimenting w/ my eye style). but eyes?! are honestly my fav to edit :’+))) thanks for asking sweetheart, maybe in the future i’ll figure smt out

Hey nonny ! I understand how numbers can be viewed as validation (as i fell victim to this) to many but everyone out there, please don’t let the numbers dictate your self esteem/self worth (ik it’s easier said than done). a couple months before, I wasn’t happy since I had the pressure in creating content and it tainted my enjoyment of editing. however, i’ve learned that editing really was an outlet for me to reduce my anxiety and i get lost in it bc i love the process sm :’+) sharing my work is always a bonus n realizing that mAN a person took the time out of their day to leave a “like/comment” on my work is crazy to think about instead of reducing people to just a number.edit: (i forgot the term i learned in psych class but i found it!!!) but editing to me seen as a “peak experience” or “flow”

!! hey angel :’+) thank you so much for loving the edit - it means the world to me. i’ve always wanted to do an edit showcasing acne in general since myself n a lot of others around me struggled w/ it. as for the effect, i actually edited n drew all the acne by hand. but i’ve found a tag on lana w/ acne cc so you can check it out there :+) i hope u have a great friday dear!
