the smut in gild is so fucking good but i physically and emotionally am unable to go thru the torture auren goes through for a second time im not fucking strong enough. smut goes hard though ohh it goes so hard

none of these feel good. they feel so devoid of love and soul. none of this feels good. it looks like the art of a stranger to me and it depressed me beyond belief that i wont ever be able to feel the same joy ever again it feels like

art just kinda feels meaningless to me now. i dont like what i create anymore. i feel no joy or sense of accomplishment. i feel washed, i feel like old news, i feel like an old dog who cant relearn their old tricks. i feel like a shadow of my former self and it reflects in the strokes of my art

i dont think my current art is something i can ever be as happy about as my old one. it feels too stiff, feels too forced, and i resent the fact it has little to no love or soul in it as much as my old art did. i just cant see myself ever bringing that charm back that made my art feel special

i grieve the version of me who only ever wanted to create and love and show love through creativity. i think they're either dead now or lost forever because i havent seen them in many, many years
