The artist’s forum last night. I started out wanting to tell people there why I don’t post my art any more (because I’m making nothing but garbage now, I’ve lost the spark) and I spiraled some.
I am grateful for the kind and patient DUers who helped me and I am very sorry to have burdened DU and for having posted in the wrong forum.

Thank you! That put a smile on my face! I told myself this morning to act like a grownup and stop having meltdowns.

have good ideas. Sometimes not. 😆

... hidden meaning.

(26,471 posts)11. I'm relieved to see your post this morning. The one from yesterday...
...was filled with such despair that I couldn't even think of anything to say that wouldn't have sounded like an empty platitude.
I hope you are feeling a little better today.

Front of the other. I want to stick around to see what happens next. 🤗💙💙💙💙
