"Just be a little more careless and free~"

Postby byyrde » Mon Jul 09, 2012 6:43 am



I've noticed lately that people are caring wayy too much about stuff, even myself. We're getting hyped up on the small things, and then depressed about the big things. I would know, I've been dealing with something big happening today, and this is the second time that it's happened.
I was caring too much over it. I was taking too much time thinking about it and ruining myself by doing so. I needed to get out of that pit, and get started on something new. So I did, and I found myself free.
Don't find yourself wallowing in a pit of self-remorse. Don't do what I did and get too worked up about things that are happening. Find a few friends, talk it over with them, and get rid of anything you have on your chest.
Get a bit more carefree. Let go of your problems and have fun.

The more we let go of the bad things, the more we see the good. That's what Jax here is supposed to show. He represents a the second side of myself, the sad, easily depressed side. But today I let that go, and so now, as you can see, he's not got a care in the world, and neither have I.
I hope that you guys on CS can get something from this. I hope that Jax and I can help you, even if in a small way, if you're having problems. If you ever want to talk to someone about things, feel free to PM me. If you feel carefree, feel free to put Jax in your signature. I would love it if you did. c:

Focus on the future, let the good things go.
Everyone needs to let the bad things be.
Everyone should try to be careless and free.

    Festy, oh wonderful Festy.
    It was such a joy watching you draw this, and I feel like I understand what you're going through very well,
    and honestly seeing this piece, made my day a little bit brighter.
    This deserves a feature, like now xD
    Love,

I'm really hoping, so that other people can see this and the message can really get spread around. It's important, to forget the bad stuff.
And I've certainly forgotten the bad stuff. <33

Thanks you guys. c:
