Believe In Yourself - Blog Posts

2023 I 2024

Sometimes Im drawing and think to myself, "Im such a bad artist, I haven't improved at all in all the years I've been drawing." Then, stuff like this reminds me that I should shut the fuck up.

Never give up on drawing if you feel insecure in your art, you'll get better, I promise!!

I love you, whoever is reading this, i hope you had a nice day.

I will tell you what i am the FINEST man in this cul de sac and im not taking notes

I GOTTA BELIEVE!

"You are your best thing."

🎀🤍KNOW YOUR WORTH🤍🎀

🤍" In order to be valuable to others , we need to be valuable to ourselves first " -The Wizard Liz

🎀To develop self-worth, you must realize that it is not extrinsic but intrinsic. It was present since the day you were born . You will not find your self-worth in other people or their opinions. Self-worth is innate , it comes from within.

🤍Your value does not come from your status or followers . It does not come from anything that is external , it is always intrinsic. You have control over your self-worth. Nothing or no one can make you feel bad without your consent. We all have the same level of intrinsic value , the problem is not everybody sees it.

🎀When God created you , he did not put your value in your grades , skin color , in size of your nose or flesh . He put your value in your spirit. Your spirit was made in the image of God. Understand how valuable you are , you were created in the image of an eternal , infinite and omnipotent God.

🤍If you do not acknowledge your worth , you will sell yourself short. If you start valuing yourself , others will start valuing yourself. If you know your worth or value , you will have high -standards . You will not be desperate, you will be highly-selective with who you allow in your inner circle and life. Don't allow everyone to have access to you or your energy.

🎀Never try to find your self-worth in other people's opinions . If you allow other people's opinions control how you feel , you are giving them your power. You will become their puppet . Be strong in yourself , know your worth and never settle for less. Never ever make your value go down because of anyone or anything.

🤍You matter , you are important and precious. It does not matter who made you feel small . You have the power to make your confidence go back up. Start acting like you matter because you do !

🎀The Universe wants you to know your worth , If you ignore the Universe's message, it will continue to be louder. You will continue to attract people who will mistreat you and treat you as if you are less than them.

🤍If I crush or beat 20$ , it would still have it's inherent value. Right ? You must know your value and not try to find your value in others or their opinions or how they treat you. How others treat you is a reflection of them , it is never personal.

🎀To cultivate a sense of worth, shift your focus to your strengths , believe in yourself and be clear about your values - have boundaries for yourself , speak up for yourself and find ways to validate yourself. You can also use affirmations to develop self-worth. Tell yourself, " I know my self-worth " .

🤍Never underestimate your self- worth . Know and own your self-worth . Refuse to be treated any lower than what you deserve. You are worthy of love and happiness . You deserve the best life !

Don't #trap yourself into bad #memories, just cut it with the sharp edge of #determination & come out.

"you can't always stay the same. trauma and happiness will change you, for better or for worse. stop clinging to what used to be, and accept the future with glee."

💭 thoughtful...

My third drawing took a while to come out because I had a full-on mental breakdown over it 🥲… But hey, it has a happy ending !! Lemme tell you about it ! 🙂‍↕️

Everything was going "fine" until I got to the mouth. And… yeah, it was just awful. I still don’t know how to handle Sans’s "grin" (I totally get why some artists just ditch it lol), especially since I wanted a neutral, thoughtful expression. I kept redrawing it over and over, getting frustrated, and not understanding Erineas's advices she gaves me (ily so much sis thank you for your support).

I felt stupid. Incompetent.

I was sooo ashamed, was I really struggling this much just to draw something ugly !? Insecurities & impostor syndrome kicked in hard, bro. I cried and ignored the drawing for a few days.

But then, I talked to some IRL friends : one of them is an artist, and the other is like me, wanting to improve but struggling with self-doubt. After a long conversation, I felt better.

No, I’m not stupid or incompetent. I’m learning. My brain just hasn’t fully grasped the artistic logic yet. And that’s okay, that's NORMAL baby !!

Deep breath in… deep breath out… and back to work. After tons of tweaking, looking at more refs and some music, I’m finally happy to post it and satisfied with the result !

So yeah, don’t be hard on yourselves. Give yourself time, freedom, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. You’ll only be prouder of yourself in the end ! 🤎✨

Hi cuties ~ 🤎

Here’s my second attempt at drawing Sans 💙 ! My lineart looks much cleaner, but mmmh... I think I’d like to try something more sketchy or simpler next time.

I learned how to place some shadows with @erineas 's help! But I’m not satisfied with the style, so I’m going to try something else next time (something smooter, perhaps ?) !

Thank you for your support ! 🫶 Note : Feel free to drop me your reviews, and even corrections (by text or with red lines etc). I know it can sounds rude to do it but don't worry, as a beginner, I'll be more than happy to learn from my mistakes ☺️ Especially about shadding and folds !

Beginner artist here ✨

Wooow, for Christmas, I got a little screenless graphic tablet and Clip Studio Paint ! I’m finally going to draw, guys, it’s crazy !!

Here are my very first two tablet drawings hehe, our boys ~ ! I’m super open to feedback ! ☺️

It feels so weird to draw, honestly... I really want to draw my OCs, your OCs, and especially the entire UT/DT cast ! Wish me luck, hehe !

I’ll start drawing Esha a bit later, for now, I’m practicing with rounder and simpler characters.

🤎A huge thank you to all the amazing artists who inspired me to start this journey : @erineas @krk-wa @caycanteven @scrambledmeggys @mothiepixie @inkz123 @woolpen @midlabs and much more 🤎 And thanks to @erineas for the encouragement and the tips on Papyrus’ sweater folds 😭🙏

I know what it's like...

Do you ever feel like you're overwhelmed,?

Or you have too many things going on at once?

That you're sad, but you don't know why?

If you're disappointed in yourself, or someone is disappointed in you even if they aren't?

If you're jealous over other men or women, who have the "perfect" body, hair, eyes, face?...

If you're jealous of other's because of their parents?...

If you're scared to shut your eyes, because you think you'll be lost in a nightmare?...

If you want to cry, but you just can't?...

And most importantly, you feel like the Lord has given up on you?...

I fell like this stuff all the time... And I know everyone else does too... Teenagers, young adults, preteens, everyone. You all think you're alone...

But, just remember one thing... You are NEVER alone... You have your parents, your friends, your family... I know some have people who don't care at all... so...

I am giving you a chance: This, is a safe space. This post, this place... Vent, talk, make friends... Just let it out...

Another thing... The Lord, He loves you so much... God loves you too... We are His children. We are His kin. And from Him we are strong, we are brave, we are courageous, we are tough, we are loved... Yes, you heard me. We. Are. Loved. Because He is the only one that will always keep loving us... He has made others to be there with us when times are hard. He has a purpose for you. He has a plan. You just have to let Him into your heart, and allow Him to hold you... A hand to hold you up, and one to support you through it.

Love you all, Jesus loves you too, bless you. <3.

At the age of 24 and 25 a lot of things had happened in my life. One of the most significant things was that I got to know my sexuality. I realised I was asexual.

Well, I'll explain my experience here and hope that it'll help someone, someday.l

I've always had huge crushes over a number of celebrities (mostly men) and few in real life as well. I have sexual fantasies about them too. But things started to change when I realised that my fellow 25 year olds are much more sexually active and they hold much kore desire for sexual intimacy than me.

Ever since I was a teenager, my body was developing, I always hated to be seen as a woman. I used to wear baggy clothes, boy-clothes, I had stopped wearing earrings, I wore pants much more than skirts, cut my nails short - anything to avoid be seen as desirable.

I grew up and I realised that I do feel romantic feelings towards (mostly) men. So, I started to think that I'm not broken afterall. Then, with time, I realised that I cannot stay in a relationship with someone for more than a few months - when things start to get serious, I look for an escape.

Then one day, with a sudden urge, out of nowhere, I cut my hair short - like a pixie short. In a few days I started to feel the shift, how I feel more confident with this hair. Then one day, while browsing through the internet I found asexuality, greysexuality, demisexuality and all.

It says that we can have sexual thoughts, romantic feelings towards someone and still be asexual. We can have sex and still can be asexual. This orientation is of the people who don't necessarily always feel the urge to be sexually engaged to someone. It doesn't always have to be a childhood trauma result. It's completely normal - YOU are completely NORMAL. 🤗

good luck to all my lovelies taking the SAT tomorrow :)

be calm. walk into that testing room and know you'll do awesome. because you will! make sure to get a full night's rest and a nice breakfast in the morning! good luck, good luck, good luck!!!
