Aww... This is so sad. If something is wrong, I hope you feel better soon.

I know that feeling, and i understand completely. Don't let it get to you. There's a lot of great things and people in the world, you just need to be calm and find something good in life.

:| Do I need to beat Sean for you? or is this total unrelated? *ill do it*

I'm not sure why exactly, since there's a lot of pieces depicting of so and so's character crying.
But seeing yours just... doesn't feel right. And I feel as if I have to apologize for whatever, or whomever inspired this.

; ; *hug*

don't cry ;A;

*Offers hugs* I know that feel.

Everything no matter how bad it is, is only temporary, do not be fooled, this too shall pass <hugs>

Yeah what you said, ... With hugs too

Yeah what you said, ... With hugs too

My mom used to say that when I was dealing with hard stuff, haha. It still does help to hear. Thank you <3

Hope you feel better, you seem like a pretty radical bird lady.

griffy needs hug?

Meeeerrryyy don't be sad ;3;
I'll have to bury you in my fluff. DONT MAKE ME DO IT D:<

I think even though you don't exactly look like your sona, i think you'd make a pretty birdy, one that has an amazing everyday tweet & chirp. :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur.....;v=O7D-1RG-VRk its not much, but maybe it will help you feel a little better

OH MY GOD! THIS IS THE BEST EVER!

*hug*

-gives kisses- ;3;'' wah

I feel bad for Faving this picture but this pic really speaks to me. sorry your not doing so well

ahhhh *huggles the gryphon*

Why? Cuz licking the tears off your face makes you prettier. :D

No more tears~

it'll ruffle those pretty purple feathers of yours :)

*random hugs*

oh dear, im so used to seeing happy meri, this is heartbreaking. People say I'm a good listener and I've been through alot myself, if there is anything I can do or you just need to talk, please message me.

;_;
Oh God these feels. :(

*support fav*

I know this feeling far, far, FAR too well. =< Thankfully no matter how bad it gets, the rain always stops eventually and the sun DOES come back out.

At basic I get this 'feeling' I hear it ! I see it !
Ones heart is broken tooooo many times, and the pain streaks in.
But on other terms it's a part of life, go through the bad too get the good but doesn't make it any better, just know ur not the first and last too feel that way.
In touch with ones emotions ;)

oh no hon! *hugs* I do understand your pain.

*squishes* ;A;

:<

Awwww. Meri...

I'ts sad how one of the most wonderful emotions to have, can also turn into one of the most painful as well. It's a hurt that we all risk because we can't live without it.

Your not ok and that, in itself, is ok. It means you can feel, that you can love and when that day comes again where you get the chance to love, you will appreciate it more even though you know the risk.

I'm so sorry that you have to feel your heart break and I don't know how you got here and wont presume to tell you it's going to be ok.

All I can say is that you will make it through this and one day smile, even just for a moment.

For now, cry. Cry until you run out of tears, and when you do, cry until you run out of sorrow. When you finally can't cry anymore, lift your head and realize that your still there, your still alive, and that you still have a heart.

I may be a stranger Birdie but -hugs you anyways

I hope you smile again soon.

-=G=-

That was absolutely gorgeous :3c

Thanks. I just hope it helps mery, even a little.

-=G=-

This means a lot to me, thank you. I appreciate you took the time to write out a comment like this. Everything you said is really true, really insightful. And also, gives me hope. The sun has a way of coming out again, it's getting through the storm that's the hard part. That's just the part I'm struggling with right now I guess. I just wish I was a robot or something, I don't want to feel things when everything feels like this :(

*looks for the like or fave or ANYTHING button*
O n O

*Hugs tight*
Merys shouldn't be sad. They should be happy birds!

*hugs* It's not much, but I hope it gets better... oh gods, the feels from this image. All of the feels.

You say the word and I can do some kick butt stuff for you Because I have a helicopter at my disposal.

http://lolsnaps.com/news/64968/0

bahahaha

; n; Why.. does it.. make me so sad..

<3<3 UnU

:c mery nuuu :c

You'd probably feel better if about 500 people asked if you were okay, offered their help, and then found various ways to be creepy as hell.

So... are you okay?

This made me laugh in spite of everything, thank you for that XD

I wish so badly that I could help ;~; I sincerely hope you find the strength you need to overcome whatever ails you. I hate to see you hurt :(

This might or might not make you feel better, but when I initially clicked on this image I thought it was going to be one of those, 'Oh god why does my body want to kill meee???' type of images...

But, I hope you feel better soon. :(

; ^; Please get so much better, you deserve to be happy..

I'm sorry that I couldn't do more. :( *hug*

You've done so much for me, *hugs*

It's way too easy to take what you have for granted. I hope along with everyone else here that you find some comfort

/ hug

nuuu! no cry... do i have to drive over there and give you a hug? (( ill do it I'm going to fort worth this week anyway.....))

well.... at first i thought this was art vent but i think i'm slightly wrong. :( i'm not going to make any guesses but if you ever want to talk with anyone just let us know Mery

You know what will make you feel better?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUuLRxun7JM

haha awwwww thanks

Our new rival in adorableness.

</3 :c

*hugs* :< I hope you'll be alright. And I know you don't really know me personally but if you want to vent I'm here.

Awhh! Mery! :(

Is there anything i can do to help? 3:

I wish I knew. I relate to this far too well. I've been in this same position too many times in the past year. :/ I'm so sorry you have as well...

This almost made me cry. This is elegant and well done and shows so much emotions. the coloring is amazing and the texture used on the wall is perfect, it makes the wall seem like its crying too

Thanks ;m; I'm glad the texture adds to it and doesn't seem as half-assed as it actually was haha. ;< Sorry to make you feel bad too, I just have to get stuff out on (digital) paper sometimes when i get overwhelmed

XD it doesn't make me feel bad at all lol When you try to convey emotions well, you are trying to get the viewer to feel something with the art. Now seeing a work like this doesn't necessarily mean that the artist is actually feeling those same emotions (even though I can read that this is vent art by your comment). However pieces like this are cathartic and should be seen more of in a whole range of emotions. Don't think you are spreading misery with pictures like this, I want you to keep posting stuff like this ^^ Much better than a generic pose with a lack of emotion to it. And yes the texture might be just copy and paste, but you could have chose from a whole set of textures but you chose that one. Want to see more half assed textures just look at my page hahaha (my textures are free to use at the request of any artist) So don't be sorry. This is a brilliant piece and I am happy to have seen it. Thank you.

small piece of advice, since i have no real context for you pic or RL situation

the grass always looks greener elsewhere, meaning it can be green right where you are:

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l.....w8cbo1_500.gif

i dunno, maybe this has nothing to do that, but i tried. hope you feel better soon :C

This applies more to another person rather than me, but i understand your meaning. thank you

Aw girl. :(

Darin don't be so down

*wingwraps tightly and floofs* :/

Thank you Phrix ; ; *hugs*

:<

I hope things get better for you soon, dear. :c

it will get better soon <3 *hugs* We're all here for you.

This is one of those images where I'm afraid favoriting would give the wrong impression.

Take care Mery!

*hug*

Because sometimes the difference between our dreams and the reality around us we have to face every day can be painful enough to make us cry - or worse.

Being sad is a part of being alive, it belongs to us as much as being happy. Both kinds of emotions are connected to each other and one cannot exist alone. Great happiness means there is potential for great sadness - and vice versa. To "be alive" means you permanently build bridges between extremes, or in other words you could say it's a part of what makes us "keep moving".

At the end of the day it's our skill to balance things out that will dry the tears and overcome whatever makes us sad. Friends family and partners around us all face the same thing, but not all show it - most don't actually in fear more negative could come you have to face and balance out again.

Facing this takes courage. Showing it in public even more but on the other hand it opens the door for people thousands of miles away who care to show you that they care like the family and friends around us. It's those acts of kindness that keep our society together in the end. Every day.

Watching others sharing their care for you made my day. It's an inspiration to me to see all those people above showing their care and gives the courage to do the same.


You are not alone. *winghugs*

The fact that other people care is a huge source of strength for me right now, most definitely. :< I'll get through one way or another. Thank you for taking the time to comment *hugs*

*brings over into a hug and holds* I'm so sorry...

:'<

*Sends internet-based panda-themed e-hugs*

i understand mery. i hope you're ok. cry and vent as much as you need to as nothing is worse than bottling this kind of thing up.

Buried in the comments... I will offer this bit of advice.

You might be thinking 'What's wrong with me? Why is this happening, did I do something wrong?'

There is nothing overtly wrong with you, nor is there anything overtly wrong with your previous partner, these things simply happen. Throughout the world there are so many possible permutations, that at first it seems like everything will fit, and sure, at first they do. But as time goes on more is learned about how the two such items work together to the point that what seemed like a good idea at first, wasn't going to work in the long haul.

So, there's nothing wrong with you, there's nothing wrong with them, it simply wasn't meant to be. Sometimes these lessons are painful ones but life goes on, and so will you - you will be stronger, smarter, more well rounded individual for it. Just know that there's plenty of people out there who care enough to listen with genuine intent to help you through the rough patch.

-Kalte

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm still working to figure it all out, what's meant to be and what isn't, when to give up and when to forgive & persevere. I know the hard stuff makes me stronger and smarter regardless. And that the loss of naïvety & innocent faith isn't always a bad thing. I'm just struggling right now. :(

I would highly recommend going to a comfortable coffee establishment, hanging out with good friends and wiling the time away. Always good for the soul. Distraction only works for so long, eventually you're going to have to talk it out.

I'm currently dealing to the end of a relationship that started 14 years ago, so if nothing else I can not only sympathize but relate.

Because I live on the other side of the planet, I'm awake when everyone else is asleep, meaning if there's some late night where you're needing to converse with someone, don't hesitate to contact me (IM Details on my userpage.)

I'm so sorry to hear you're sad, Mery. :'( I really hope you feel better very soon. <3

I am going through the exact same thing. *Hugs*

Greetings Merystic,

That is a powerful piece. It drips with emotion that evokes a sympathetic reaction from this rabbit. Everyone knows this type of pain at some time, and your work brings that emotion bubbling up from one's memory.

Great expression of anquish on the face. Showing emotions on beaked creatures can be a challenge, but you pulled it off quite well. The hands and arms circling the stomach, hunched body, and flattened ears, lets us know that her whole body is wracked with physical pain, stemming from the emotions overloading the brain.

I hope you are not actually experiencing such feelings. If you are, this bunny offers you a warm, furry, hug.

Thank yoou. Sadly the reason/means I drew this sort of thing is from going thru it ;< I'll be ok tho...thanks for the well-wishing and bunny-hugs. *huuug*

Awwwr, I'm sorry sweetheart. Come to Kandahar and give me Operator hugs!

Would that I could <3 I would be the best battle buddy, ready always with hugs and semi-automatic assault weaponry

WITH PLENTY OF CLIPZ CLIPZ CLIPZ CLIPZ, COWADOOTY!

Well if you hadn't gone for the ultra spicy hell wings, you wouldn't have that stomachache!

... is there no coffee

I know it could not be comforting but that's how we are... Human.

Sad or not, this picture reminds me that sentence, so, I wanted to share it.

Hope you will be better. :)

This, wow...this got to me. <3 My very fondest wishes, and let us know how we can help! :(

Cuz we are faulty... but there are others in whom love us because of our faults..... We are humans after all.

This kills me. I can't stand seeing little Mery cry like this. I need to come down south and give you lots of hugs ;;

Awwwwwww ;n;

I know we don't know each other, and I'm such a lurker that I never comment... but nonetheless... I do hope you are doing okay.

Thank you <3

*hugs tight* ;_; (Came here to wish you a belated happy birthday, and saw this...really hope you're ok, dear.) *nuzzles* <333

*Hugs*

This image hurts. I mean, actual empathy-caused pain. I know this sort of feeling, and I know it too well. I hope everything turns out for the best for you dear, seeing people like this is soul crushing ;~;

;m; I dont really intend to spread the misery haha, but there's something cathartic about getting my feelings out by way of art. Thank you for caring <3

*cathARTic* I see what you did there. ^v^

-earsplays and pats a small bird-

Baw~ :< I have no words, only feels. *Hugs.*

oh my *Hugs* I hope you feel better soon We all are here for you if you ever need to talk "You fellow gryphon sallem" Take care and remember to take a look at the sky one time or another and think about how wonderful things are and how you are so well off and healthy.

Hello, Mery~ I'm sorry if I'm a bit late in the loop with this, but I was browsing your gallery since it's been a while since I looked at your work and I just wanted to say that I know how it feels to be going through a tough time. I'm currently dealing with negativity in my relationship and it's been getting me down these past few weeks. I don't know you, but I want to offer you my empathy in whatever you're going through. Just remember to be strong and never lose sight of the fact that you are a talented and valued individual. You make me quite happy and inspired with your art, and I wish you all the best with your endeavors in your life at the present time.

Take care! <3

will a slice of this cheer you up? love you little birdie, your pics are so cute, hate to see you down =(

*drool*

=D

*hugs the sad little fluffy thing* It'll be ok.. you can have all the cookies you need.

Stop being so cute.

Tears are beautiful...they show the truth

This is exactly how I've been feeling from my ex ditching me for some other girl. It hurt so much, I've cried for days like this.

Mery first and foremost I adore your work you are so talented I just can't even!
I love some of the pieces because they have raw emotion sometimes things that I can't get out
so some of your pieces like this are personal for me <3

For this week I've been feeling this and just havent even bothered getting out of bed.
because of someone I loved and I'll never have.

Carry on little soldier. *preens*

wow

just wow

the sheer emotion in this

I can't even describe how lovely this is ;v;

; n; No no no no no *hugs ya tightly* That is the wrong way to make a smile! Starts with a chortle, mix in a giggle, then you turn your lips skyward!

*offers you a hug*

Hey there. I know we don't know each other, but I feel the need to tell you how much this picture impresses me. It just shows so much emotion and feelings. I think it is a good way to let out such emotions too from time to time. Some may just sit in their bed and try to deal there with their emotions. Others like you brought them out by picturing them. It is I think the right thing to do, because, at least for me (I write them down from time to time), we can see our own emotions then much more clearly and find solutions for them.

Hang in there buddy. When I look at all those many, many comments here, I know that you got a lot of people that feel close to you and want to help you, then I am sure you will make it. And then you will be able to find happiness.

awww, thank you very much for the thoughtful comment ;A; *hug*

*hugs you gently and nuzzles the cute gryphon* You are all welcome Merystic. You truly brought the emotions of this pic. I can feel them all clearly when I look at your pics, any pics. Your pictures have something truly special, something I haven't noticed at many pieces of art here on FA. In fact, your art is so amazing, that you are now on my future list of artists who I will commission one day. *winks*

*hugs* hope everything will get better
