- Hi Guys. I've struggled with my mental health the last few years. I recorded these speed paints in 2018, and just felt I needed to explain why I'm not making these types of videos any more. Thanks for your understanding and support :)

"Who am I without my art?" Gosh, such an important question, for everyone. Being able to understand your own identity without your hobbies. And with social media now, like you said, validation often comes from these statistics. It can get so easy to get lost and caught up with what you feel like you have to do or supposed to do. That's kind of where I'm at now mentally. I still love art and want to do art, but I also am uncertain if what I'm doing now is right for me. I grew up with a lot of pressure and expectations from others, a large part of it being my dad, that I'm not sure if what I'm doing is really what I ever wanted to do? Monetizing and marketing and pushing to profit off of what was originally just something I was passionate about turned into stress, anxiety, depression, and just like, a constant feeling of being a failure. It's not healthy. And just recently I've been on this new mental path of trying to figure out what it really is that I want to do, because this doesn't feel like it's right anymore. I'm glad you found a new passion and a new way to enjoy art. I'm looking forward to me discovering whatever it is that I'm trying to discover too :) Cheers to us for taking care of our mental health
I can relate to that so much, as a child i felt the only way to get my dad's affection was to succeed and get good grades to make him proud. I only went to study animation at university was because i felt that was what was expected of me. I hated it, my mother told me if I dropped out I'd have to find somewhere else to live. turns out she was bluffing because I couldn't cope at uni with the pressure and I had to drop out for the sake of my mental health, I then went into a lot of temp jobs and was so much happier. I feel CZcams really damaged my love for art. the first few years were fun, especially when I first qualified for monetisation, I felt like maybe I could finally make a small income from something i loved. But it didn't take long for me to feel out of my depth, and losing my monetisation in 2019 made me feel like a complete failure, as if i was going backwards not forwards. sending tons of love your way, I hope you can find other passions to bring you joy.x

I didn't expect a video with this title to include so many wonderful pieces of art. Thanks for sharing them with us. Of course you should focus on doing what you enjoy, or helps brighten your life though. I can relate to much of what you talk about here, and I think many other artist/people in general can as well. Wishing you a brighter future from Australia.
Thanks so much ^_^ sending love and hugs your way.
Oddly enough, I went looking for your channel and such again just last month.
I followed you way back when, you were one of my early inspirations to really try and keep developing my art, right through a period in my life where I was suffering with an early end of a chronic illness.
It really changed my whole life (i was like 12 ish I think)
Im 24 now, and I still draw a lot, mostly as a distraction though.
So honestly, just wanted to say thank you ! Because you helped me even if accidentally back then.
I’m glad you’re alright and finding things that are good for your mental health.
aw thank you so much ^_^ your so lovely. I'm so sorry you were struggling when you were younger. It's so difficult struggling when chronic illnesses as a child. My health conditions started around age 7, it's so difficult at such a young age to process what you're feeling and to communicate it to others. Sending so much love your way, I hope things continue to improve for you and that art continues to bring you joy.x
@@CrazyComicLady God I can’t imagine trying to understand that at 7. I only started getting really bad around 10-11ish, then the drop off at 12.
Thank you, you’re so sweet honestly c: I’m still chronic but I’m coping a lot better emotionally these days! I’m so relieved to see you found diamond painting tbh
Sending love back and look forward to seeing what diamond kits you end up doing 💚
Those art works are absolutely amazing 😺👍.
And you color them amazingly 😺👍.
Thank you ^_^
Still a big supporter and loving all your content. I relate to what your saying and it helps me so much too so thank you for still sharing ❤
thank you so much for your sweet comment. I'm glad my videos have offered you some help/comfort. sending love and hugs your way ^_^
I'll miss your speedpaints but i can understand taking care of yourself is important. I like your diamond painting vids too😊
Thank you ^_^ *hugs
While I'll miss your art and speedpaint videos, (I still have your beautiful drawings of my characters you did for me!💖💖) I understand that your health comes first-both your physical and mental health.❤🩹❤🩹 You do you, hun.
Thanks so much ^_^. man I HATED the DA eclipse. where's the avatar when you need them! I stopped even looking at DA after that, the old version was so much better. I struggle to even find my stash folders on there now. I'm not sure what I'll do with my mushroom fairies, I did start colouring some of the pages last year on my ipad, I was on puppy minding duty so much I would grab my ipad every time he'd settle for a 10 minute nap. I did wonder about putting the chapters of book two up just as journal entries, but I never finished writing it. fingers crossed one day I'll feel motivated enough to go back to it. Oh I can relate to the sound of your own voice thing, I cringe when I listen to my videos (I always rewatch them after i upload to make sure the videos uploaded correctly and didn't glitch or anything during the rendering). confidence..... nope never heard of that word before, I think DA eclipse ate that word. sending huge amounts of love your way, hopefully one day you'll feel the youtube creator vibes again.x
@@CrazyComicLady You're welcome.💖💖☺Same. BD;; When DA needed the Avatar most, they vanished. ID;; I don't even post on DA anymore cuz after they brought in A.I. art, I don't trust them to not steal my art for it. I think they've removed the option to edit your favroutes section now which bothers me too. BD;; I mostly post on Instagram now, but I'm hoping to join another better art site one day.
I see.
