And I feel like my art has been looking lazy recently, and I HAVE been a bit lazy about it -- I just have SO much on my mind art-wise and I want to do it all but my mind seems to constantly change on what I should be doing. So I just run out of energy and get either too tired to do anything or to restless to have the patience to finish.
Any advice would be cool, but ya'll don't have to. I just needed to let this out.I can definitely relate to this. My advice is to go on a site like artprompts.org and just play around with different styles/colors/themes until something feels right again! Also, try and focus on finishing one thing, be it a sketch or fully-rendered piece, it'll help a lot to just refocus your mind if you can. And know that it is okay to take breaks, not everything has to be done at one time^^ Best of luck to you♥
Update 11/29/19: At this time, please do not ask me for commissions. I may occasionally make posts offering free art, however. :3

Thank you so much for the help!! I just now did a sketch based on a prompt from that site and it definitely helps with motivation ^^ I'll do my best to keep my mind focused on one thing at a time!! Thanks <3

hello guys,
i already dread writing this message. firstly, i just want to say you're all so amazing. every day we face a struggle that only makes us stronger. whether that be our favourite jumper pulls because we walked past a door to quick, or we had to cut ties with a toxic person, or other things. we lived with difficult people, and there are things we hate about ourselves. but each day we learn how to cope with it that little bit more, and each day is a new day. each day is a new day to start a new routine, a new hobby, a new career-path. a new day to start revising, to start exploring facts and figures of your favourite topics. a new day to make new friends, become the person you want to be.
you should all be so proud of who you are. no matter how many years we have been on this earth, no matter your religious beliefs or skin colour or the discrimination you have faced or the bullying you have been hit by, who you are today does not define who you were in the past and who you are in the future. you're doing amazing and no one could ask for anything more than what you are all already doing, which is your best.
secondly, my absence. i have been absent from posting on this topic for a while now. after coming back from my hiatus i had the urge to fulfil what i was doing a couple years ago; supporting each and everyone of you while offering comforting words as much as i could and sometimes advice. i love to do it, it's one of my favourite things. knowing i get to help you guys means the entire world to me no matter who you are or your past mistakes. having someone there to be a shoulder to lean on does so much and i am proud and glad to be that shoulder.
however, my absence. my mental health has gone downhill. the only thing on my mind is my nan that passed and other mental battles i face and the anxiety that comes with it. therefore, i feel as though my own depression is on the rise again. the only way i can battle this is to just become 'slightly' inactive. i still trade, answer pms (albeit it takes me a few days to bring up the mental strength and motivation to), and post in a couple forum game threads. however, i cannot keep posting on here. i wish i wrote this message sooner. helping everyone else only takes a toll on myself, and i am not doing great, not in the slightest.
i am travelling abroad this wednesday (8th of july, 2020 to be specific) and i will be gone for six weeks. i will not have that much access to the internet (my 3g is awful abroad), but, saying that, i will still be online one or two times a day. i will not be answering PMs for the simple fact i hate using PMs while on my mobile phone. however, i will be active on discord a few times a day. my discord is in my signature, but for clarification, it is " loopy coconut mcroni#3050 ". you are not a bother if you private message me, if you need support i can attempt to offer it with what little wifi i have to offer and mental strength lol.
i will always take the time out of my day to help you individually if you reach out to me, but at the moment, i do not have the mental ability to. when my own health is not right, i feel as though my words won't be either when i take up to two hours a day responding to all your posts when my mental state is not top-notch sparkly clean.
therefore, my next post here will be in august or september. i am gone for a very long time, and i need this time to breath. i will still post the daily links once a day or every other day. i'm sorry i'm gone for so long, you all mean so much to me. and, i reiterate, my discord is always available for your messages.
i send each and every one of you my upmost love, luck and support, you're doing amazing.
love,
xxxxxxfika.
