Art save me from my life

same

I'm 100% sure I would've become a AI-techjeet if it weren't for art. Drawing gave me a soul

its probably the only thing keeping me around

>>7623383 (OP)
dont worry I'll save you from art

Nah it has really fucked me up.

>>7623383 (OP)
Yes. I would say so

>>7623383 (OP)
Same. Even if I could no longer make art, I'd still be a massive appreciator of it.
Other people's art, from the visual to literature, are one of the great pleasures of life.
Being able to take part in that is an honour in itself, even if it'll never really be acknowledged.

I hated it for a long time, even though I kept doing it. I only started enjoying it again recently

It did embarrassingly enough. I don't know what I'd be doing without it.

But you're still jobless...

don't know about saved, but its certainly added to it

I have BPD and last year a decade long relationship fell apart, and with it my life (again). This year, the Holy Spirit brought both faith and art into my life. I'm back in the workforce, savings up and will likely be put forth for candidacy to seminary. I am now following a calling from God.

If anyone wants to post the life saving work they did in those darkest moments, this would be the thread for it.

>>7623383 (OP)
Wouldnt go that far but it helps. My job is completly uninteresting to me and relationships nonexistant so its nice to have a productive hobby I can put a bit of passion into.

>>7623383 (OP)
I feel... empowered when I do my art, I think it helps that my mom and sister supports my artistic endeavors no matter how weird that art can be at times, it's like the only time I get to be myself...

Here's a panel of a comic I made after I had a really bad mental breakdown a few weeks before Christmas 2024 I think. I was in a library to calm myself down to draw this, I remember my sister saying it was her favorite drawing out of the ones I done that year, it was a really rough time for me.

Thank you for sharing. I'm a bit of a minimalist myself, but I find images like yours fun to look over, as they're rich in detail and in each detail lies an idea.

>>7623383 (OP)
As much as I loathe it, as much as it hurts me, there is no other craft I want it to be.

>>7624154
Here is a piece I made during my self loathing phase with my drawings

Thank you for sharing with me. Remember that whenever it returns, you have somewhere to go greater than it.

It's the only thing I'm decent at so in a way I guess, but then again putting all your worth into something like this is mentally draining

yea id be dead by now if i didn't have this

>but you're still not a wageslave
ftfy

Cute comic, it has powerful message unironically

>>7623383 (OP)
I never had any mental issues, so nope.

Unironically, yes. It’s really the only thing that keeps me going every day. When suicide crosses my mind, I remember all the art that I haven’t made yet.

>>7627307
Mental disorder can, for many people, be transient. If someone has never had any issues, but suddenly finds themselves in a bad spot, I hope they remember there's a better way.

>>7627411
I find a sincere irony in the art you haven't made being what helps. It's non-existence reminding you that you have a future.
