Today was the start of a new week and new choices. Choosing to keep moving forward instead of backward. Re-devoting myself to art, and becoming a healthier person are the choices I’ve made. So I focused on the work I have to do for Inktober, classes, and on myself. I realized recently I haven’t been dealing with some emotional issues from my past. And in order for me to grow I have to deal with them. I can’t keep putting them off as if they will go away, or with enough effort by my own hands they will heal. So I made some adult choices, filled out forms, and made an appointment with my schools counseling office. I’ve been dealing with these issues for a while on my own and thought I had them under control. But I was only ignoring the extent of their existence. So while it’s really hard to do, to reach the point where you feel comfortable enough to get help I know it’s the right choice.
Tldr: a new day means new possibilities and a new you, focus on what you love, take care of yourself, im still doing inktober, some times we have to make adult choices for ourselves, get help if you need it even if it’s hard.
P.S. If you’re a creative person, don’t feed in to the stigma of your problems making your art better. Get the help you need you’ll be happier, healthier, and likely more focused on getting work done.
