Thanks, I'm starting to feel a little more "normal" again. I just wish things could go back to the way they where before my trauma, but I know that's not possible. Just have to find a new normality or something.

Hope you are feeling much better now after resting and meds.
emotion_hug Being sick is never fun.

Yeah, art and writing classes should definitely allow for more self expression; it is a shame they aren't structured as such. I know what you mean with the rules for writing; like every single little thing had to perfect or you wouldn't get a good grade. Yeah, getting published is not easy and is what made writing for me so off-putting.
heart emotion_hug I would like to get a professional portfolio together and try to get into a gallery or something cause online just has not worked out for me. But damn, getting into a gallery isn't easy. ._."

Welcome. ^_^ It is hard to find time for such activities with work and problems with mood. I know of many people of who's dreams where lost cause of work because it seems like it only leaves time for work and resting. That whole "hustle culture" or whatever is so unrealistic. Working a full time job does not let one pursue their real dreams.
Yeah, most likely it would just be a waste. @.@" I really need to get it together with my art, somehow and someway.
Thanks! ^_^

Im glad your doing better an feeling better ❤️
Changes are how we learn an grow, even through bad times we learn how to survive an continue.

Im doing a bit better as I try to rest well an take meds evenly so hopefully it wont overwhelm my body trying to heal.
emotion_hug I agree, being sick is awful.
crying Yes, there seems to be to many restrictions to learning to write an as well in art it would likely feel better with more freedom to learn in ways that allow for self expression. An writing yes it has so many rules an things you have to do it rough yes too publishing work must be so difficult Id imagine with all you have to do.
emotion_hug
Nods I can imagine getting into a gallery with your art must be as bad or worse than publishing a book too.

Exactly its hard to do anything an work full time, it takes a lot of you health an mood an feelings away to work so much, then you feel so uninspired to do anything but rest so often. An dreams just feel so impossible an far far away till they get forgotten. Sigh

emotion_hug It takes time no worries Friend ❤️
Welcome ^_^
emotion_hug heart 👍
Thanks. I was doing alright for like a week on the meds then back to terrible sleep. ._." I tried to going to ER yesterday for sleep meds but they kind of just kicked me out and my doctor didn't do much. :c
emotion_hug heart
Very true.
emotion_hug I feel as if the bad times shape one the most even though they are so unpleasant at the time.
emotion_hug
Hope you're doing much better now, Geista!
emotion_hug Yeah, school just doesn't seem to be set up right. Even taking courses outside of school seem to be too restrictive on self expression as well. Writing is fun yes, but then having to learn correct grammar and such and even broadening one's vocabulary seems very difficult. Even the self publishing route is difficult. Sure, you can just publish your work easily but then there is all the marketing and promotion. Either way, traditional or self publishing seems so freakin' hard. @.@"
emotion_hug
Yeah, it is no easy task. I've never actually tried (except one time like 10 years ago) to get into a gallery. There was one gallery in my area that was more for entry level artists; I'd give it a go but since my family wants to move back to Romania it seems unlikely. Mainly cause of contracts and such. ._."
emotion_hug
Yeah, I remember when I did work a bit way back in the day it felt very much the same. I find it so odd how stuff is setup in this way. Just working and no time for fun.
emotion_hug
Thanks; I hope I get there eventually.
