Hey @The-red-centaur, can you talk? I saw your post before work and then as I started my shift the song Talk You Down (by The Script) came on. I don't know if that coincidence means anything to you but I hope you know you're important.

Is that self-censorship emoji? or unspoken grief emoji?

[The-red-centaur]

Idk @BossBaby I just felt small and unable to talk yesterday. 

[The-red-centaur]

I want to give up 😔

Hey @The-red-centaur ,

What's happening on your side?

Have you been doing any painting lately?

[The-red-centaur]

@tyme I'm tired and overwhelmed. I can't fight it anymore. 

I finished painting my mordheim army. Does that count 

 

[tyme]

Of course it counts @The-red-centaur 

Did you make them? 

Have you ever 3D printed anything?

I'm sorry it's so hard for you at the moment.

[The-red-centaur]

It doesn't matter it didn't work anyway

Feeling small might be connected to feeling undervalued? I hope you can work your way out of that, holding onto your value and letting the detrimental, the destructive, the overwhelming shrink, rather than your self-expression. Thanks for staying in touch.
