What is this "calling" you speak of? Phones are for texting and wasting time on the internet.

It seems as if you're on to something! People won't take the time to utter words in normal sentences anymore. They simply use stupid "glyphs" instead of speaking with someone.

Immediately! Otherwise I'll call you myself to make sure you received my message.
“Whenever I have free time, I try to sketch as many ideas as possible. I usually need a few hours to complete an illustration. Anytime I can lift my head from my work and other responsibilities is the best time to draw comics, so I consider it a form of self-care. I guess you could say I've developed a small routine of sorts. I like to take my time, brew a cup of coffee, and put on some music to tune out the outside world and completely immerse myself in my work,” Adriana described her work process to us.

I used to hate myself so much, for 3 years or so. But (without therapy or help from others!) I learned to love myself. I try to make others happy but also myself. There may be rough times, but I do my best to take care of myself. I wish the best for all of you who read this :}

People ask you why you hate yourself, but at the same time get mad when you love yourself.
When asked about creative blocks, the artist says: “Creativity comes within and has deep roots in one's mind and emotions. I believe creativity is stifled when one loses touch with their inner self and becomes too preoccupied with the noise outside. When I'm stuck for ideas, I try to go in the directions I may have shielded away from and find a way to relate to what's happening there. That's how I usually find something that disturbs or excites me enough to put it on paper.”

How does she drink? I have mastered the art of slipping a straw under my mask, but.......
We wondered whether it’s difficult to develop a unique style nowadays when there are so many great creators, to which Adriana replied: “Actually, I think it's the other way around because you have so many great resources and artists to draw inspiration from. However, no matter what, finding one's own style is difficult and perhaps a never-ending process. To do things differently, you must first blind yourself to your familiar ways - and you will probably dislike the result. You must learn to embrace the many disappointments you will experience before you write your own narrative.”

Medication may help, but you need to focus on yourself and do the best you can everyday. Don't forget that you're loved! You're important!

But here it's written meditation. I agree that medication along with therapy works wonders. Plus removing yourself from whatever causes that and make yourself busy and distracted helps too.

Taking back an EX is like going to your own yard sale and buying back all of your own $hit.
“Although I'm best known for my comics, I'm also an avid writer. I want to write comic books and novels - many of them if possible!” the creator talks about her future plans. “My goal is to see my works on the shelves of the bookstores in NYC. Currently, I am working on a few projects. Ultimately, I would love to see one of my stories adapted for cinema. That is my dream.”

There is a sign about idiots dieing because they pushed to the top on BP yesterday... This comic needs that.

even if it's just the art style, it makes sense to me. my trauma always makes me feel ashamed and guilty to be happy. a self-destructive cycle that haunts me still in my 20s

I'm in the process of writing a book and I always read though what I wrote the previous day and change it, especially near the end. I get short, intense bursts of energy/inspiration, and anything I write after that is always c**p lol

You don't have to prove anything to anyone. What is important is to be at peace. I hope you feel better than yesterday .

It's so exhausting having to have potential. I'd be happy if I've reached my peak. I don't want to be the best at anything.

Get out of your head! Go outside and enjoy the weather. Meet, and speak- with real, live people. Care about someone besides yourself. Join the interconnected web of life!

It can take a lot more than that for some people though. a lot of people say this but it's like a one size fits all saying. It took me 5 years to get over my ex. Getting out did not help that happen faster.

I have a hard time with this on8. My half sister and brother are autistic and sometimes have non verbal communication. I am still trying to figure that one out. 😔

A lot of you must need nore Vitamin D or something. You seem to be reveling in your pain. Get out of your heads!

I. Can't. It's not as simple as that. You don't just get up and leave it all behind, it's like weights around your legs slowing you down.
