My ex literally told me I couldn’t make art anymore unless it sells and kept trying to get me to make more things that sold. I never wanted to own a business. They kept telling me we were really poor. Turns out they were blasting the money and cheating on me and took all of it (that was meant for a house) and got a house with the person they were sleeping with. I felt like I lost my love for art. I couldn’t make what I wanted because I had to make all these orders that sold instead. (Granted people kept asking to buy them and instead of saying no I was expected or guilted into doing it.) then after the split it just made me depressed because my art is why they started loving me and it made it bitter. I got sad. I no longer had inspiration. I felt defeated. ………then one day I made this. I love this. It’s not much but after two years it really brought a strong flame for art back. I’ll eventually post the final product as it’s a three piece thing but this? I really wanted the world to see this. It’s hope. I hope everyone feels how I did rediscovering myself. It’s amazing.

So it's being manipulated and violated while doing doing something you love? Dude, I feel that. I'm glad you are doing art again, that looks hella amazing. Don't sell shit, fuck 'em, do what you want, I am glad you shared, I really like your work.

Art isn't about wanting or having it is about appreciating, loving, enjoying, admiring. But I can relate to the feeling

Tell your ex an eskimo in northern Greenland hates her guts, and she can go choke on a giant donkey dong. :)

1. You are talented! 2. Your ex is a c*nt. 3. This is a beautiful piece! 4. I relate. My ex's family insulted my drawing and I haven't been able to really draw since. Also took everything. 5. You doing this gives me a spark of something.... Thank you.

You are so welcome. They tried to take everything too. They stalked me and they put up a restraining order (a song and dance to help their story more than likely. I left immediately almost three hours away and they asked for one two weeks later.) they talked so much hate about me online. I lost all of my inlaws. We were close. My art my style my pets. Everything was just not enough. But I am enough. And so are you. I hope you make art again one day. I bet it’s beautiful.

I can empathize deeply, having made choices about continuing my art due to my ex’s opinions, comments, and always making everything about money.
I have yet to really pick it up, save some crafts here and there.
Thanks for sharing your joy.

I hope you rediscover your flame. It’s an empty feeling for an artist to lose it. They aren’t worth taking your power from you.

What kind of a person denies others doing arts and crafts? That's just insane to me.

Art is allowed to be art, OP, and nothing more. Not everything needs to be a side hustle, you're allowed to enjoy your hobbies for yourself and no one else. Anyone tells you differently, tell them to fuck off.

Thank you. I am from now on.

BRO, how do you start this hobby?

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I picked up some clay and kinda just stuck with it! It takes practice and maybe some tutorials!

This story is so close to that of a friend of mine that I wondered for a moment if you could be them.. but I dont think their ex got a new house.

Technically they didn’t “get” a new house but you can message me if you’d like.

Do you work for the BRC DPW?

Nope! :) safe to say I’m not the person you know but I hope they are ok too :)

They are better than they were with their ex, beyond that its hard to say. I dont get to see them in person enough.

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You should fix that, or try to. I know I’ve been single the whole time as they really did a lot of damage and I rely on my friends a bit more now that I’m alone. Even a check in gives me the warm fuzzies. I’m grateful.

I can see you are out of practice. 98% of the snake is missing. Keep going tho, the 2% you did looks amazing

Fuck. :( If you separated without a lawyer, a lawyer may still be able to help, but I imagine you already covered that shit so nevermind, I'm a dumbshit, I'm sorry, that shit sucks 10 pounds of shit through a 5 ounce straw(I don't know what this means).

And you aren’t dumb. I didn’t say shit about it so honestly, honest mistake.

Hey it’s ok! I grew from that a lot. I’ve been single a year And divorce was finalized. I don’t have to worry about them bringing me down anymore and I’m healing. I’ll keep working hard and get some place. :)
