yeah, that´s how I´m feeling

yeah, that´s how I´m feeling at the moment but that´s another story.
I like the song and how it fits the mood in the picture.
Maybe I´d have lower the opacity even more of the reflection in the water.
Keep it up! Smiling

I hope you'll feel better though ♥
I lowered it a bit, I wasn't sure about it the whole time but I think it really looks better now, thank you very much c:

I have no good enough words

I have no good enough words to describe the feeling that I got from this art and music put together.
The best way to describe it is with giving you my heart. <3 I feel that this work resembles a little how I feel most of the time, in a way. Thank you for sharing this <3

I adore how you do your

I adore how you do your pictograms. They're so lovely and pure. (:

Oh and yes... The emotion. I can relate. Mainly, because I've been sick for a very long time, and it's taken a toll on me emotionally. It's very frustrating when you know you're physically ill, and people automatically assume it's all in your head. Who try to convince me I might be the problem. It's an easy way for them to dismiss you, and it's taken a while to finally get a doctor who cares about me and wants to truly help. It's several problems combined. But they may all be related. It's mostly an eating problem. My body is telling me I'm hungry, but I eat a bite of something and my stomach tells me I'm full. And I'm a thin person to begin with, so naturally, the first thing the doctors go for is if I'm purposefully doing this to myself. No. Also, a few months into this, I began having seizures of sorts that seem to be triggered by light and sound. Such as lightening and thunder storms, or loud music and the headlights from cars at night. But we think we're on the right track now. I'm taking medicine that has helped tremendously. I'm able to eat more and more, my weight is picking up and the seizures are starting to become less frequent. They're very likely a side effect. Another side affect was coming down with flues and viruses because my immune system was weak. I was beginning to sink further and further into depression, and I knew it. I would sit and stare at walls or plank pages and then catch myself and wonder, “What’s happened to me?” But... I couldn't do anything about it. Not on my own. I was reaching the breaking point due to the sickness. (But also other things that have been going on for much longer.) Crying a lot, over trivial things, (like TCM movies) and sometimes for no reason at all. It wasn't a natural sort of crying though. It was bawling and sobbing until I would fall asleep sitting up because I was so exhausted. I had no control. I was beginning to wonder if this was in my head. If something was mentally wrong as well... Being sick can do all kinda of crap to you. Anything can. Simply not having enough physical contact with people is another thing that hurts. Like hugs or a hand on your shoulder... I struggle with that. It’s something I don’t get a lot of. But I believe I'm getting better slowly. The sick part I mean. It's going to take a long time for the other though. It's a complicated mess and I've already blurted enough of my problems on your art. About things that have nothing to do with you. -___-But… Just… Don’t think anything you’re going though is unimportant. Don’t think it deserves less attention than the next person’s problems just because theirs might seem to be worse. If it hurts then it hurts. You can’t compare yourself to other people when it comes to pain because nobody handles it exactly the same way. I’m saying that because I do that a lot. And it’s unhealthy. I have a friend who is an artist who is helping me through this. (She’s the one who would drill that into my head over and over.) She lives a while away from where I do, but we always keep in touch, and she knows everything about me. Inside out. She sometimes sends me music to help. And, music can say more in a few lines and through some noises through an instrument than I ever could in pages of junk. So, here are some songs. Some soft and other the pick-you-up kind for variety. If you’re not all sad and lonely or whatnot you could still listen to them though. Lol I guess I just said all of that because it hit a nerve, (Also I knew the song you posted. So that probably had a lot to do with all of this blurting. ♥ Sigur Ros and Jonsi.) and I know I always feel a lot better when I hear somebody else tell me what’s going on with them. Everybody has something wrong, everyone’s going through something. And sometimes it just brings us all back to the same level when we hear another person talk about it. It shows you’re not perfect and you need somebody… lol Frankly it also just helps ME to talk about it. Probably more than all this helped anybody else in any way.

Selruil: I'm glad it is, thank you c:

parrotsnpineapple: It's a wonderful song, thank you ♥

SilverBells: I'm glad you're getting better already. I think you're going to get better and better by slow steps, just don't give up ♥ And it's good to have someone to talk about it.

Ah I can relate to that pretty well, when I'm falling into a depression I often wish someone could be here..
The songs are really beautiful. I tend to listen to sad/melancholic songs a lot. And I'm glad my picture and the song had such an impact on you :')
Crybaby's having problems, but I think there's often mine hidden in there as well ♥ There's just this... bond between us.
Thank you.

@Munkel + SilverBells: ...
I finally managed to read the long,long text.
And .... I´m so touched. I also listened to the songs which are

Just wanted to agree to SilverBells last words.
Now group hug!

What happened to brd also

What happened to brd also happened to me. You are not alone, and the shadows are not the end of the road.

Quiet dreams and melancholy have their time. But so does breathing in anew, walking in a new direction, and letting go of what's holding you down. Please take care of yourself. Silverbells, I mean this for you, too.
I love you both.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

I saw this when you first

I saw this when you first posted it, but I couldn't bring myself to leave a comment. It hurts a lot to know many people are feeling this way lately, good people, and there's not much I can do to help physically. I can try to make people feel better by the words I say, but I've never been good at speaking or offering help. Though, if there's one thing I'm good at, it's listening, never be shy to talk to me. I'd be happy to at least try and help. A problem shared is a problem halved, like SilverBells said it makes it less difficult when you talk to someone else and realise everyone has their own problems, no matter how little or large.
I know that every one of the people who has commented with a problem here will overcome it, it will take time, but don't give up on yourself.
