James Rhodes – Is that not worth exploring?

my heart is in pieces

but I have no one to blame for this of course; I talk about nostalgia and depression a lot when it comes to music, how I ~can’t~ do it anymore because of the ~time and commitment~ I need in order to do music the way I want, but in the end I have everything I need and if I actually cared enough, I should have done so much more than mourning my loss while my piano dry up in a corner like a coffin to its sound

Understating and trivializing your actions is not modesty, self hatred is not modesty. You should not be apologizing for everything you do. Modesty is knowing your strengths but having the wisdom to not brag about them. You are just hurting your self esteem when you discount your actions. Take pride in yourself and your action, and stop promoting self hate

You are amazing and you need to embrace your qualities not minimize them (via neutral)

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to ignore you when you want to talk to him.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to shove you when he’s angry.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to call you a dumbass or a bitch when you’re in an argument.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to threaten to leave the relationship every time you defend yourself.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to invalidate your feelings.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to not tell you who he’s with or where he’s going.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to keep making the same detrimental mistake over and over.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to use your insecurities against you.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to make you feel guilty for having desires and needs.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to tell you that you’re stupid when you cry.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to cheat on you because he’s “just a stupid guy.”

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to rely on you when he doesn’t do a thing for himself.

it’s not normal for your boyfriend to hurt you intentionally.

please stop normalizing toxic romantic relationships. it’s not healthy for your partner to upset you and behave recklessly as long as he apologizes later. apologies mean nothing after he has repeatedly disrespected you. kisses and hugs mean nothing after he has repeatedly disrespected you. public displays of affection mean nothing after he has repeatedly disrespected you. promises mean nothing after he has repeatedly disrespected you. it is not okay for him to hurt you physically or emotionally because he said he’ll change. he hasn’t. he won’t. get out now because THIS! IS! NOT! NORMAL! other couples do not go through this. other couples did NOT have to go through this to be in a happy, wholesome place.

he is manipulative and selfish and he is making you weak every time you agree to stay. even when you feel like “maybe this time, things will be okay,” they won’t – that’s what he wants you to think so you never slip from his grasp. you know as well as i do you’re 50 times overdue for “this is his last chance.” this is not normal.

Happy (belated) birthday sweet newtongirl!!

As always, I’m very sorry about the delay (2015 must be the year I deliver birthday presents very late) but I hope you will still enjoy this married MakoHaru comic through their live because I know you appreciate domestic/married MH as much as I do (*ﾉωﾉ) 

I’d have loved to draw the whole poem but, too long, not for me ;_;

Before You Hate Your Art Or Stop Drawing

shrineart:

Remember that all those people you think are classic artists and amazing? Yeah a bunch of them did that same shit.

Monet shredded canvases because he didn’t want them shown. He claimed that it was better to show nothing than to show such “mediocre” work.

Gerhard Richter destroyed art that he made that, today, would have been worth hundreds of millions of euros.

Michelangelo made tens of thousands of drawings. We have about 600 left. Because he burned most of the rest.

This is prevalent among the people many of use would consider to be the best of us. Even people like Monet suffer from the idea that their work isn’t good enough or that their work doesn’t meet their expectations.

Do the work anyway. Bad art, art you hate, art you’re not satisfied with? It’s still art. It’s still worth making. And even if you hate it you DO get something out of it.

Trust me, I have gigabytes of sketches on my pc that are never going to see the light of day but they were worth doing.

Everything you do doesn’t have to be perfect. Statistically everything you do simply won’t be perfect.

That doesn’t mean it’s not worth making or that it’s not valuable.
