Life and trauma

@Former-Member

Yes, it so much harder to deal with so much bad news when you're alone. I was a bit luckier in that ive had a couple of people to help me but family had been nonexistant and i had very few friends when it began. So i can only imagine how hard it is with no one at all. But you do have us here and while i know its not the same as having someone there in person next to you, online friends can be a huge source of support as discovered myself earlier last year. We'll help you through this.

LOL @Oaktree , I was about to say that I can draw stick figures and that's about it... not even stick figures that look like yours!

@Oaktree hey that's really good, I'm impressed.

Thanks @tyme @Former-Member

I probably did those about 2 months ago and haven’t gone back to it yet. If I am going to get better at drawing it is going to take daily practice

@tyme i thought stick figures were simple things. But @Oaktree your stick figures put mine to shame 🤣

The kids do a lot of directed drawing using https://www.youtube.com/user/ArtforKidsHub @Oaktree

@rav3n not since I was a very young child. I hate that the numbers can be seen even after painting over them.

oh gosh i hate when you can see the number underneath too! @Former-Member i try to layer on paint to get rid of it but i end up either giving up or ruining the work.

last year i really got into making beaded bracelets, i'd make them for friends and strangers too. are you into that sort of craft?

@tyme

Thanks for the art link, looks awesome.

@rav3n it's just so frustrating and I feel it ruins the picture.

I love making beaded things aswell and I also make sun/dream catchers.
