I find inspiration from life and a lot of the situations it throws at me.
I paint to stay alive, to keep my sanity, to express how i feel.
Thatās fantastic. Iām really glad you have such an incredible creative outlet.
Yeah, especially with everything going on i need to make more art
I hope it helps. How have you been doing the last few days?
Youāve helped immensely! I canāt thank you enough. Im doing ok, weāre going to sign divorce papers Wednesday soā¦that sucks after almost 7 years.
Iām very sorry to hear that; I hope it goes as well as can be expected. Seven years is a long time to be together.
Well, so far all is going well and amicably. 7 years is a very long time. Not sure if Iāll ever trust enough to marry again
I can understand that. I also find it difficult to trust people, so I canāt imagine how hard it must be for you right now.
I can relate hereā¦ my wife and I are currently separated and really have been separated for about a year. Sheās got things to figure out and things she wants to doā¦ and the longer Iāve thought about it, the more okay I am with it. Sheās treated me like I was literally a fly in the houseā¦ anytime going around her would annoy her, etcā¦ so I finally pulled her aside and suggested separation and even divorce, because I was completely fed up with it.
We have kids together, so thatās the only thing truly bugging me/weighing on me, but weāre cordial so weāll work it out. Some of the conversations can be devastating and hurt a lot and feel impossible to haveā¦ but you can only let it build up for so long. I was proud of myself for bringing it up and it felt like a relief afterwards.
I wouldāve never thought Iād be going through this and it took some timeā¦ but, Iām better now, plus my family is right there for me, especially my Mom.
Im so sorry to hear that but glad you guys sort of figured it out.
This was what I thought was going to be my 1 and only marriage.
@STORMS Iām sorry things didnāt work out. Itās good to know you have family there for you.
@Th3doctor Thatās sad, and very painful. Iām sorry. Do you have friends and family you can talk to in real life about these things?
I wish I did, right now Iām just laying on the floor a crying and broken mess since 3am, now 416:am with no one to talk to.
I just really want to die.
Iām so sorry youāre in so much pain. I wish I could be of more help. Iām sure it will get better in time, and I promise your life isnāt over. Please take care of yourself.
Thank you for being there for me, i truly appreciate it.
Iām happy to be here, even if thatās all I can do. Again, Iām so sorry youāre hurting so much right now.
Hi. I know itās only been a few days, but I thought Iād see how youāre going?
I would be honored if you would allow me to get the little orange fellow tattooed on me
@Ally your poems are not rubbish, but i also understand how as an artist we see our flaws more than others do, so um yeah keep writing because id be sad if you stopped
@Th3doctor from what ive read on this post, things are going a little better, heartbreak is never an easy thing to deal with and it takes a long time to heal, but as ever life goes on and we keep going we learn what we need and keep pushing, sorry i wasnt very active on here while you were first going through, i also just went through a little bit of heartbreak though we werent together in a serious way, as it never progressed past a situationship. I hope you are finding ways to move forward and finding little joys day to day
