I'm sorry for being so unprofessional, but I don't think I'll be able to create anything meaningful for quite a while. Even if I still continue drawing for eight hours+ a day whilst working 75 hours a week, I don't think that any amount of practice or reflection will save me.
I'm so afraid of losing my opportunity, so I can't slow down. I can't wait until tomorrow or the day after. There are so many more wonderful people that deserve praise and for their bountiful hearts to be fulfilled. In that swaying capital where light resides, I am but a shadow.
No matter how you speak, I've always found your words warm to listen to. It's that same voice that's reassured me countless times and helped me to live once more. Maybe I've become no good and developed a reliance, but I love you Ado. I'm so thankful that you're the way you are.
I thought "I should repay these feelings at least". I don't know what feelings I had, because I don't remember anything anymore. I'm just living whilst immolating myself in this cold blaze that could devour the world. I can't even produce tears, I can't even embrace anyone.
I know that this isn't the place to be so pessimistic, but really, I'm so lonely. I'm so hopeless, I'm so weak. I had tried up until now to believe in the path that I could walk if I would just dissolve myself into art. I wanted to become part of the world that I had loved.
Nobody believes in me. Nobody loves me. It's me who hates myself the most in this world. It's me who can't do anything but rely on myself. Even if I keep drawing, I can't create anything wonderful. I've been living on borrowed time. I was going to die almost three years ago, but
I don't have anything. I don't have the strength to grasp what I wish for so desperately. Having a heart is so excruciating, so I still dream of tearing it out. Even if I keep going as I am, what is it that I'll be rewarded with? I wish that I had never loved anything. Even Ado.
Maybe I should have just tried to live an ordinary life from the start. This unrequited love/disease that has multiplied in my heart all these years, chasing a hope that's just so painful. I was once told that grand dreams would just break me. I was always broken anyway.
@KunoMD I was sometimes curious about this, but for example in something like Honkai Star Rail where all the character LCs and ACG are in one style, is it just one incredibly strong artist? It seems unlikely that it's through art direction, but...?
I had wanted to work at the bookstore so badly, but I got rejected and I really feel sooo terrible 😭 I kept dreaming of being one of the booksellers, and I'd even make up all sorts of stories each day, and I was looking forward to those days so desperately 😥💭 So painful....
