please, keep writing. keep drawing. keep painting. please keep making your art no matter how many may try to push you down. the world does not have nearly enough artists.
you will make it out alive. you will have done it. that future version of you exists. a happy one, one that looks back at you and is so glad you did not give up.
You can always start again. Clean out your social media. Create a new account for your new taste in music. Study or work in a new city. Start socialising with new people. Choose a new signature scent and style and purge the outdated parts of yourself. If you don’t like where you’re at, but you don’t know what to do about it - try starting again.
things that make people feel loved:
making them a playlist
baking them cookies
giving them flowers
creating art for them
random reminders that they are loved
writing them a poem
complimenting them on their talents
asking how their day was
sending them links to things you think they will like
random hugs
“This made me think of you”
