One Positive Answer
Had this sketch in my sketchbook for a while but didn't get around to finishing it until today.
There are times you question yourself on who you are, what you are, if you are good or bad and if you have a purpose in life. You remember those questions so you can answer them later. But those questions start to pile up until you only see yourself and the questions you can not answer. So many unanswered questions and you feel lost and trapped within your own doubts and anxiety. The harder you try to answer one, the more questions come to mind and stick to you. You start to lose track of who you are until you break down.
Sometimes, the most complex self questions can be answered by a few simple words - one positive conclusion that makes you feel happy and forget the kept questions you created for yourself. Think positive and those negative thoughts and questions will soon be forgotten. Calm breaths with a clear mind and you can do anything and be anyone you wish to be.
Think Positive and Believe in yourself.

this is hard for me to look at. fact that it shows so much of what I say in my head. while outwardly happy and expressively happy. I face this almost on the daily. the daily challenge to keeps positive when your transgender in the world that feels so negative against you.
good post.
good post.
Close. Lot of the times for me its not "Am I...?" it's "I am..." and "Do I...?" ends up being "I dont..." Was diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression about 2 years ago. Most of the post-its on the mirror (with some minor tweaks to then) are what I usually think of every single day. The only one I usually don't havr is the one beung held. That one...usually needs to be said by someone. Having people in your life that keep reminding you that you're loved. I didn't have a lot of that growing up, and I broke. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18562002/ I ended up being told all of these things until they became my own thoughts. But I'm lucky now. I've gotten help, I have people in my life who remind me every day, to "Believe in Yourself" and that I'm loved.
Thank you for making and posting this. It's just another reminder to do what all the people who love me in my life keep telling me to do, "Believe In Yourself."
Though hugs are always welcomed, helpful reminders ^-^

Wow. This image really touched my heart. I started imagining helping the character in getting rid of the really "Negative" post it notes, and suggesting positive ones. Replace "Am I Worthless?" with "I am worth it." Replace "Should I give up?" with "I will go on." And replace "Am I Trash" with I Am Awesome!"
Been there too, sometimes on a bad day I ask myself if I am still there. Self esteem group therapy really helped me. One of the activity I done with the group was to write a positive like a compliment on a small paper and give it to others in the group. While also receiving/accepting some from others. its one small and simple thing, that is just strangely so difficult to do ,but yet feel so great.
Thank you again for the warm art. It brings back good memories. I am filled with DETERMINATION! for my day at work tomorrow, someday I will reach my DREAMS .

i believe in the universal wonder of strangeness.
myself? i exist. i have thoughts, ideas, dreams.
i attempt to illustrate them with verrying degrees of success, skill, patience and so on.
i don't attempt to rate my skill, just to make what i do.
everyone is different, what they like, what they don't like, why they do.
i like the reward of being appreciated when it happens, but that isn't what i do it for.
its what i want people to be able to see, that so many forces in their lives want them to not even imagine to be possible.
this remains worth doing, however my efforts might happen to be received.
its also gratifying, just to be able to see something i've wanted to see, neither more nor less, when it is something i have made myself.

Love this and it also reminds me a bit of this motto everyone should hear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDjrOaoHz9s
This reminds me of the three motivational stickers i have posted on the wall above my computer. Sure i thought that may keep me working towards my goals if i have to keep looking at them all day, but really i barely notice them any longer and i really should take them down.
But i started looking towards my future as my motivation, and in order to do that, i have to better myself, which i am, slowly but progress is progress
