I'm not okay.
My dear friend passed away. She's been there for years and suddenly she just...disappears. Its not normal. Her death was almost a month ago. It will take time.
I keep going back to her funeral. There were so many people there. My friend touched so many lives. They were hurting, her family was hurting, everyone was crying. I felt like I didn't have the right to cry. So many other people were in pain.
I expected myself to be okay sooner than it would really take. I wanted to be able to be there for people. I couldn't stand the thought of me making people listen or comfort me. I shoved every emotion aside...once again. Almost every night, I would lay in my bed alone and I would think...about everything. It would hit me like a brick and I would cry.
Many nights, I cried so hard it felt like I was screaming. I didn't trust myself in that state, so, I had no choice, but to call a friend.
They willingly listened to what was on my mind. They let me cry. They calmed me down...just like she did...
I soon realized that this wasn't helping me. I had to deal with it, not shove it aside.
So, I'm not okay. I'm depressed. I miss my friend. I miss talking with her. I miss how she would say, "Its okay, Kitty" (that was the nickname she called me). I miss how she could find a bright side to everything or how she could always bring me back to God.
I'm not okay,
But
Its okay.

Anxiety Problems...
Hey guys.
*sigh*
It's really killing me to do this. Trust me. I've been prolonging this for as long as I could because I wanted this to be the last resort, but it's come to it.
...
I have to cancel the requests that were sent in.
It's POSSIBLE that I may complete them in the future, but...I was bored when I sent out the request call. I kinda jumped from being bored to being terrified. So many of you came in all at once and I got a little overwhelmed to say the least.
The thing is, I'm already super busy and on top of that, I have anxiety. It all piles together in a big pile of "NOPE" that isn't easy to deal with.
Again. I am so sorry.
Request CLOSED (for now)
WOW! You guys were FAST!
So, I got three or so requests on my plate right now! I'll see how these go and once I'm done, I'll do my best to open up again if I'm not too tired lol ^^;
Thanks, guys!!!

-Sonny:star:
FINALLY!
Whoops...nearly a month later...WELL ANYWAY!
I am FINALLY back! I'm going to do my best to get used to coming on here everyday and upload when I can, but I am sorry to say that I won't be doing any DIGITAL art for a while. I'm sorry to anybody who wanted me to do that, but I can't at the moment. It takes too much time and even though I'm done with school, I still got a lot on my plate. Sorry again! :/
BUT I will be putting up some traditional stuff and photography! So, be on the look-out for those soon! Thank you guys for your AMAZING patience with me through all this! Love ya!

I'm so sorry Sonny <3
I can't pretend to understand what you're going through.. but I know that God understands. You must feel like all of this is a heavy weight on your shoulders, but I know that God can lift that off of you if you give it to Him. Don't rely on your own strength to help you feel better, just give all of your burdens to Him and He will comfort you. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30
I wish I could do more for you, because I know you need someone to listen to you and to comfort you. Just know that God is always there to listen, He knows the full extent of what you're going through, and with time He will heal you if you place the burden on Him and ask Him to help you. I can relate a lot to not wanting to bother anyone by making them listen or comfort me. Sometimes I still don't know what to do, but I know that I DO need comfort and I DO need someone to listen. Don't be afraid just to ask people close to you. They might even enjoy being the person to help you. But when there is no one else, God is always there to listen and comfort you. He knows your troubles before you speak them and before you even know them yourself. Go to Him, and you will find rest.
And don't ever feel guilty for crying or feeling pain about this. Others are hurting too, yes, but you are hurting a great deal. Others' pain does not invalidate yours. Your feelings are just as real, just as difficult, and just as valid as anyone else's. Anything telling you otherwise should be ignored.
Let yourself grieve. I know you want to be strong for everyone, but nobody in their right mind is expecting you to be able to stand up and carry every else through this. It's affected you just as much as it's affected everyone else. Sometimes we just have to go through the difficult feelings so we can accept what happened and find peace again, knowing that God is with us through it all and that He will pull us through it. Don't pretend like you're not hurting, because that will only make things hurt for longer. It's 100% okay to be so affected by this. Any right-minded person will understand if you're feeling depressed. You don't have to scream it from the rooftops and tell everyone the full extent of how you feel, but you don't have to hide it either. It's totally understandable for this to affect you so greatly. Even if you can't get past being worried about burdening other people with your needs, don't forget that you can always go to God. He really is listening and He really will give you the peace you desire. Just put your trust in Him that He will make things right. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6
