Well, let's have a look at what you said.

Things that I felt needed saying.... 

  • Confide in another
  • Loneliness, or isolation is the main cause of depression/suicide
  • Some (or some during a particular time/circumstances) are capable of enduring more impact than others
And sometimes, it'll feel like it's going too slow, like nothing's getting better. But in the long run, it will. You, the sufferer, and you, the supporter, both have to stick with it. Don't give up. Keep on fighting with every bit of strength you have. Never give up, never surrender. 'Cause you'll beat it. Together.

Gutted, but not defeated!
  • Take care when taking offense
  • There are more important things than popularity
  • Because another is criticising (or perhaps degrading) it does not mean that they are correct or aware of the reality (they may in fact be wrong). And if you are in the wrong, who is to say you cannot improve?
  • You had discernment that your work was of good quality and the work speaks for itself.
So, to anyone who doesn't feel like they get enough recognition with their art, to anyone who ever feels like they should just give up, then just remember that as long as your work makes YOU and the people you care about proud, then that's all the validation you need. You're good. Even if other people don't realise it, you are. So stick with it, and never give up!

These are honourable things, no?

I once had a journal for things like this because I would forget them.
From my own words, recycled ... from 2016 (because I try to still use the journal).

4Mar/2016 The truth recognises lies, the truth is that there exists lies, the non absolutes are exposed by the absolute.

Fair enough. I didn't really overthink what I was saying. I didn't mean to be overtly preachy about it. Just kinda wanted to voice my views on certain subjects. If people like what I've said or are inspired in some way, or helped, or my words just click with them, then great. If not, then "oh well." I'm not trying to preach to people. I'm not trying to change the world. But if, by some crazy chance, I can make even just a second of someone's day better with my online ramblings, then that's good enough for me. I don't want anything more than that.
