Yes
I feel stranded
on a lonely island in the middle of nowhere
nothing but the tide
that keeps me alive
day after day
wave after wave
Yes
I feel lost
in space where darkness is everything
stars flying by gifting me wishes
that may never come true
knowing my only wish
will forever be you
Yes
I feel overlooked
in the middle of a field, branches twelve feet high
beetles crawling side by side
fearing getting crushed by them
missing the safety
of your arms around me
Yes
I feel love
wherever I am, no matter the time
itβs stroking my side
thereβs no place to hide
itβs my true love for you
I just wish that you knew
Yes
I really do

Omg, I can't believe how a journey that started with an AI art addiction led me to discover a community I feel so comfortable with! πβ¨
It all began when I got heavily addicted to AI generating and made hundreds of pictures, day and night just not to feel, just not to collapse... But as much as I loved creating, it led me straight and deeply into a financial crisis πΈ I turned to Claude AI for help, and it suggested selling my best AI creations on Redbubble. I figured, why not? I'm really proud of some of them, and even though I felt a bit ashamed for using AI for therapy and my dark and painful sides I never had the caurage to show before... It was too expensive (it is still cheaper than a professional listener), I decided to give it a shot... Hoping to gain back a bit of money to hold my head above the water. Redbubble suggested sharing my art here
and that's when I stumbled upon the most incredible platform, filled with people I can relate to on so many levels. π₯° Even though I haven't sold anything on Redbubble in 3 months (maybe I never will, and that's okay - just another cool mistake in my life journey π ), I feel happiness. The wonderful people in the private chat brighten my day and make it all worth it.
Through this journey, I am meeting here new friends, discovering fascinating perspectives, and connecting to a supportive community that I never knew I needed. π So even if I'm at the rock bottom of my life right now, I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have you.
Thank you for existing, everyone! You've made this wild ride better for me. ππ«
