“You are my favorite song. The melody for my intolerable silence. The lyrics for my unspoken words. The beat of my heart. And the harmony of my chaotic mind.”
I don’t know what it is for someone to take my innocence, to destroy every sense of normalcy, of how you get over that, of how you have any sense of how to make a life. But I do know that the ugliness that you feel inside of you, it’s not you.
[Drawing of a blue snail in a pink shell saying “I’m proud of you for deciding to stop apologizing for things that aren’t your fault, but remember to be kind to yourself in the process. It’s okay if it’s not easy. It’s okay if it takes time. Just keep doing your best. You can do this.” in a yellow speech bubble.]
You have no idea how many people lurk on your work. No idea how many times people go back to revisit your work. How big they smile when they simply think about your work. How fast their heart beats, how excited they get when they see that you posted something.
People are shy with their feedback. Sometimes it’s because they’re simply shy. Other times it’s because they assume you already know how great and talented you are. Could be both.
My point is, even if you barely have any likes or reblogs, don’t get discouraged. You have a lot of silent fans, but they are still your fans. Keep on creating. Because there is always someone out there who will love what you have made.
“The sky is so clear out here, Nigel! Look, there’s Orion, and if you look to the left-”
“We’ll look at all the stars you want in a moment, darling, but eyes on the target when you’re holding a gun, alright? Don’t worry about the noise, I’ll cover your ears nice and fucking tight.”
Some Spacedogs because god I love them so much. Nigel wants them to do target practice so Adam will learn how to protect himself, Adam loves Nigel so much he’ll humor him.
