You have no need to thank me, as I feel highly grateful to give advice. I hope im not being a bother by replying again, but you are an extremely talented individual. Your stories and work with mindscape have been some of the best I’ve seen on this very website. The expression you have with your work is amazing and very unique.

I too can relate to with a very “unusual” upbringing. I had a horrible mom whom I was forced to be with every other week as a small child. Im a victim of her abuse, being child neglect, and it hurt me in many ways. Many times, my life was put in jeopardy, her always leaving me completely alone so she could do whatever degenerate drug. I saw her at extreme lows, in bed with whatever guy it was at the time (and even at the same time i was in the bed sleeping) doing the adult act, most likely just to get her next fix.

My dad fought hard to get full custody of me and eventually got it after she messed up one night too bad. My point in saying all of this is because I never had a true “friend”. I was always too different to be able to relate to people with easy lives and healthy families. I still don’t have any to this day, of course that aren’t on here.

I’ve learned to be content with that for now, as worrying about it will only make it worse. Learn who you are, be healthy for yourself and you only. Create, design, write, do everything you can to make a better future for yourself. You are worth SO much, you are a human being with a brain and a heart that is capable of infinity. We all need to hear this and know it, so I wish you the best.

If you ever need to talk to someone who has also struggled, feel free to send a message here or on discord. Thank you.
