Some of the people who draw the cutest, sweetest and most adorable art
are actually some of the saddest and most heartbroken people I've ever seen.

I can't really say "met" because I haven't met most of them. Just an observation.
Like these people who are so sweet and draw the most uplifting adorable art that makes me smile
have such surprisingly deep and dark emotions hiding inside and it breaks my heart.

And on that note.. SpectrumBeat draws some of the most adorable art and she's having a rough time of things right now.
I guess you could say she sort of inspired this thought process, since she's such a genuinely sweet person with gorgeous art and beautiful designs.
But it's not her alone that inspired this, it just sort of made me think of how so many people who draw adorable art have an undeserved rough time of things.

I guess in that case I'm opening myself up for observation too.
I suppose I fall somewhere in the middle of the spectrum.
I won't say I don't have my own issues, and I have days where it's hard to do anything but languish in a sludge pit of misery and dark thoughts.

But I don't feel like it's out of my control (most of the time).
I don't have the money to get the help that I think I need, so I'm coping how I can and trying to keep myself busy.

I know so many people talk about their own problems in their journals and on the internet and I never really
want this to be the place where I air my dirty laundry and my own personal issues because well, it's personal.
And it's not really stuff that I think other people should have to deal with outside of myself and Lynx-Foxx .
I don't want to make other people feel uncomfortable because of my own thoughts and feelings on subjects,
especially things that may be controversial or contradict commonly accepted ideas in this neck of the woods.

I have issues. Just like everyone else.
I guess that's really all there is to it.

Things are shitty, but we make do.
We always have.
