Please try to be kind to people. It’s hard. It takes patience and understanding. It means going against your worst and most potent instincts sometimes. Sometimes it even means admitting that you could be wrong, that you could have said or done something wrong, that maybe you acted in poor judgment. Sometimes it means listening to something or someone you don’t want to hear. Sometimes you might even think they don't deserve kindness. You might think yourself betrayed, hurt, or exploited. Please give people a chance. Give them a single chance to reach out.
Sometimes it means apologizing. Sometimes it means accepting a single apology
At first it was "I'm depressed, but I don't want to kill myself."
Then it was "I feel like if I died, it wouldn't matter."
Then it was "I feel like if I died, it would be better for everyone."
Then it was "I want to die, but I'm scared."
Then it was "I want to kill myself, and I'm not scared, but it would be morally wrong or something."
And I try to say, take your meds, tell your therapist, tell your friends who understand.
It's always just another wall to break through.
What happens when I run out of walls
Thank you to the people who listen. Thank you to the people who understand. You kept me from jumping the other day.
Are you alive? How can you tell?
Your soul is a sinkhole. Your brain, a dry well.
You're a person, it seems, but you know it's not true.
You're a bundle of clips, strained elastics and glue.
You look at yourself and you know you're not right.
A building condemned to be knocked down a flight.
The blocks and street corners are lined with their houses.
With music and light, the whole populace rouses.
They step and they drive and they talk and they mingle.
While you remain empty, forgotten and single.
You shamble and sputter, you wobble and stutter.
Your skull is of gas. Your fingers of butter.
You can't talk, you can't think, you can

Depression Sucks. I Hope This Can Help. [UPDATE 5]
Author's note: I am seeing a therapist and taking medication and I have people to talk to. Don't worry about me (not that I can stop you). Worry about yourself and the people closest to you.
UPDATE 5
Reading this helped me decide not to kill myself today.
UPDATE 4
PUTTING DEPRESSION INTO PERSPECTIVE for those of you who have depressed people in your lives.
Many people who are not depressed struggle to understand their clinically depressed friends and family members. You can't really know depression or how it works without experiencing it for yourself, formally studying it (e.g. as a therapist) or spending years with people who have it. B
One of the most poignant moments in my life was the first painting that allowed me to express myself and artistic ability. I began my artistic career working under the thumb of the Soviet Union where I was unable to express myself in a manner that truly represented how I see the world. While producing hundreds of propaganda paintings for the government I yearned for the opportunity to share my god given abilities with the world. Stifled by the limitations of an oppressive government, my mind flowed with creativity. I dreamed one day I would be able to express and share with the world.
These two particular painting mean more to me than anythi

Roy's Rants: What is wrong with this world?
I mean it has always been [expletive] up, right? I get that. People suck (not most of you reading this I am sure) but there is a lot of humanity that are just despicable human beings.
I was recently made aware of someone using Phil's art on Facebook and since it was Earth-27, I own that art. So I told the person posting that stuff to do 1 of 3 things.
1- Credit the art to E27 or Phil and myself.
2- Keep using the art as they were, but stop cropping out Phil's name, thereby indirectly making it easy to assume that they (not Phil) were the designer.
3- Take the artwork down.
After several days of no response, I escalated the matter to Face
Now I could be like everyone else and say "shut the F*** up you annoying @$$ F***s" like everyone else, but no, that'd be pointless- even if I did, people would still complain, and it would accomplish nothing (the me writing this journal thing, actually hoping protesting works...). No, here I'm actually here to state why specifically people, least in my opinion and should be the biggest concern of both Democrats AND Republicans, hate Trump.

Pokemon Uranium Is Blowing Up!!
Hello my Nitelitez,
I gotta say, I'm hella jealous now. I mean they totally deserve all the applause they're getting but damn... Yesterday I was searching for an LP to watch and discovered IGN was playing the game. Then went on for my daily update of Phillip DeFranco and he, a super Youtuber who mainly talks news is talking about it.
Jealousy aside though, it does present some mixed feelings. Side one is excitement; the idea that more people who wouldn't even notice fangame are now is awesome. However side two reflects how the only reason Nintendo leaves us alone is because fangames are such a cult following. But if it turns out that fangam

The Wallpart.com Scam Ordeal by CyrusTarber, journal
The Wallpart.com Scam Ordeal
As some of you have probably heard from various gossip a new website has sprung up named "Wallpart" that supposedly is stealing people's artwork and selling it within the site.
I copy-pasted from a friend's journal because it's the best explanation I've seen thus far.
So, I have been notified by several people about pages of Peter & Company and other pieces of my artwork being supposedly "available for sale" through Wallpart.com, and in the past 24 hours have seen many other artists make journals/submissions talking about finding their own work on there as well. Naturally, the inclination of any artist finding their work available for s
