Hello. I don't know if you're responding to asks right now, but I'll try.
Let me be clear: I'm going to try to express my thoughts without sounding negative. I'm very worried about you. I can't stop thinking about you because I'm worried that something bad might happen. I really hope that everything will be okay with you, your family, and your country. I'm on the side of Venezuela and its people in this situation, even though I don't live there or in the us.
And you don't have to listen to my advices, you can just ignore it.
I know that my words probably won't change anything, but please listen. Unnecessary conflicts aren't needed right now. First of all, it's a big stress, and as far as I know, it's physically harmful to you. Secondly, unfortunately, you can't fix the minds of people who don't have any, as they write nonsense on the internet without understanding anything. I understand that you want society to look at the event from Venezuelans perspective, but those who don't want that won't listen to you and will continue to write threats and mock you. It's terribly unfair, I understand. I don't judge you, on the contrary, I support you, but try to ignore those moral degenerates.
I know from my own experience that during such a horrible time, it's best not to panic or create more conflicts, but to try to calm down and do what you enjoy. This will not only help you, but also those around you who are going through the same thing. I'm not saying that you should force yourself to create content when you're only feeling anger and panic. However, I believe it's worth trying to distract yourself. You mentioned that you want to spend time playing video games. Why not give it a try? It might help you breathe a little easier for a second. Or maybe you could try drawing something that calms you down. Or maybe you could listen to some of your favorite music. Or maybe you could watch a movie that doesn't have any political undertones. I know that in moments like this, it's hard to just stop paying attention, it feels wrong, especially with so many stupid people on the internet, but try it. Please. As I said, I'm really worried.
I want to tell you something else. One night, when I was alone in my apartment, there was a deafening explosion outside. It was so loud that I don't know how the windows didn't shatter. Then another one followed. And another. I was terrified. I was shaking with panic. And you know who helped me to calm down? You. Your art. I looked at your art, and gradually I felt better. I felt safe. You saved me, even though you didn't know I existed back then. And now I want to support you more than anything. Unfortunately, I'm thousands of miles away on a completely different continent, so all I can do is try to provide emotional support. Spike, I've said it many times, and I'll say it again. You're an amazing person. You're an amazing artist. You've inspired so many people. Don't let the assholes on the internet hurt you. Don't listen to them. Put down your phone, take a deep breath, pet your cats, and take a rest. We love you.♥️🇻🇪
thank you so much anon 🫶 you're very kind
i am actively trying to spend less time on social media for my own mental health. i feel drained and exhausted, numb almost. sometimes we get good news, but then it starts feeling like things are stalling. i'm trying not to lose hope. and well, dealing with assholes online has also been kicking my ass ngl. even indirectly. so that's a sign i need to remove myself from everything for a bit
i've been playing skyrim, it's been a long time since i last played it and it's a great way to forget about everything for a while. i'm ignoring the civil war plot (i always disliked both sides) and i'm just focusing on learning skills i'd never bothered with before (i'm used to playing thief characters, i love using stealth and archery because of how broken they are)
i want to go back to drawing stuff but whenever i try i just space out and can't focus at all. i don't have the brainpower for it right now. it's also why i'm replaying skyrim and not playing something new instead
sorry if this is a little disjointed, i'm very tired. i'm trying to respond to messages from these past few days to let people know that i did get their message and that i appreciate them checking in, it's just taking me a while haha
