Poetically beautiful albeit macabre and sombre.

This is so wonderful Reykat... is rough but sadly amazing... I think I can almost feel and perceive what's inside your mind, your subtle and aggressively connotation and yet, displayed in such a soft and innocent way...
My respect, and in case nobody has tell you this before, you are a unique beautiful being, I can see that through your paintings. Thank you for sharing. N.V.

A bright speck in the infinity of space would be a lonely existence.
Less so is ours, if we but dare cross over the boundaries we set ourselves, and make new connections.

I've been lonely my entire life due to betrayal, abandonment, and things beyond my control. I'd much rather be a bright star.. or anything other than me really. Β

Yeah, I guess I would be a good actor.
I'm truly happy that you were able to overcome the cruelty of others and the darkness that it brings. You don't know me but.. thank you for believing I can achieve the same. It means a lot that a stranger would even reply to a comment I make. It is extremely difficult for me to make new connections/friends.. I have severe social anxiety disorder.. among other things. I think your poeticness is refreshing and inspiring. I use to write poetry and stories all the time, but stopped years ago, due to depression I guess.

Try chasing that dream, then.
Thanks. True, I don't know you, but I know that people can overcome great obstacles once they set their mind to it, as I did.
And I'm confident you're not an exception, and that you can overcome the anxiety you have, were it caused by your past or not.
I'd say poetry - if it's something you like - is something you shouldn't stop with even when you're down, as with other hobbies that give you joy.
Emotions inspire, even the unpleasant ones. Besides that, I'm sure you have a the kind of perspective for viewing life and the world it exists in that has been tempered by what you've experienced, as you yourself have been tempered by them.
A sword well tempered serves far better than one untempered.
If I may have some part in helping you overcome your own "obstacles", I'm glad.
Oh and it's autumn. Go out and marvel at the colors it brings out, if you can and while it lasts. Finding ways of enjoying the small things in each day and around you, that too helps. Walking in the rain and only looking at your feet is sure to get your mood down a tad. I prefer wearing a hat rather than a hood, in the rain, so I can more freely look around and so I can hear properly.

My true dream is to work with animals in some way(and to be mentally stable but.. uh.. lol).
Maybe I will try my hand at writing again.. but my motivation is poor.
Autumn and winter are my favourite seasons. I am agoraphobic, so the only time I ever go outside is for appointments. I do sorely miss the crisp air. I actually love the rain, it is so soothing to me, I use to walk through huge puddles just for the hell of it.~ In my small, pathetic life, I do try and clingΒ to any tiny happiness around me. Β

Well, once you manage to achieve that or another dream, perhaps the one you added in clauses shall come gradually after that, too.
Keep a block with you and jot down whatever suddenly springs to mind, eh?
'Cause I'm a Northerner and live in Finland, I prefer it a bit cooler rather than ~24 degrees celsius and above. And being practical I also like it cooler because you can put on more layers of clothes but you can't exactly take more off once you're almost naked (at least not if you want to remain alive). Agoraphobia, the fear of crowds. Well, not like that matters if you go out in the open outdoors and not just in the city. Yeah, summer rain especially is nice. I love the smell after summer rain.
It's easy to think one's life is pathetic in comparison to others, but comparing something unique to something else that is also unique isn't the most sensible thing to do, nor is it productive or constructive.
At any rate, have a nice autumn! And if you like tea, pepperming + licorice tea is amazing (and teapigs is a good brand).

I like it cooler as well. I actually can't even handle heat.. summer is hell for me lol. Agoraphobia is a bit more for me, linked to my social anxiety and paranoia. I live in a city, surrounded by cities. Have to drive like 2 hours to see anything remotely countryish, and I can't drive. Walking by yourself when you're a tiny woman like me is kind of dangerous anyways. My life is definitely unique from other's, but not in much of a good way. I'm not sensible or productive- I'm my own worst enemy to be honest. Anyways, enough of my drivel. Have a nice autumn too! I do have tea sometimes- usually peppermint related. Teapigs sounds funny, not sure if I've heard of them before.Β Β

Well, I dislike humid heat that causes me to feel like I'm melting (or like one of those forgotten hard candies nesting in a pocket, all sticky and icky).
Sounds like moving to the countryside or somewhere less crowded might be an idea, at some point. Β
Here where I live the city isn't all that dense, there's lots of trees and more than a few parks and such, and some actual forest-ey areas that you can actually walk to in more or less an hour, if you want. And places that have the feeling of being on the countryside yet still actually part of the city. Well, sure, not a particularly BIG city, but still... 200 000 inhabitants or what was it? Something like that I guess. I like that it's not so dense and there's plenty of trees and other greenery that's a part of the town.
Uniqueness in itself is good, at least in my opinion, and while you yourself might not see or assign much worth to it doesn't mean there is no worth to it. Like one person doesn't value a patch of dirt while another sees the fertile soil from which a garden can be grown. Even though it sounds paradoxal, one doesn't always have to be sensible to be sensible. Wait, what? And productiveness is overrated.
I think you might really love the tea I mentioned, then. It's a sweet flavorgasm of a tea. teapigs have fun "infostories" on the back of their packages, and the bags are good and spacious so the flavor really comes out. It's an UK based company it seems, so while it might not be commonly seen in Canada (and speaking of Canada, I've wanted to travel there sometime. The nature seems interesting, and I've always liked to go to new places and all that comes with it.), I guess you could find the brand in tea boutiques or other stores with a good assortment. If not, the internet is always an option.

Yeah, I would love to live in the countryside. I often wish I was born into a family that had a farm. Sadly, I live with a parent and we live in a very expensive area.. we would have to move quite a ways out, and my parent probably could not get work out there..blah blah. Dirt is pretty great, plants come from it.. and stuff. The worms suck though, they should be transformed into fluffy beings.. but then we would always step on cute creatures by accident.. damn. Anyways, I am rather positive no one sees any worth in me, but I'm used to it. C: I will definitely check the store for that brand of tea next time, it sounds great! Canada is indeed gorgeous, and apparently very friendly? Not my area anyways. I love all nature, but, mountains draw me in the most I think. I believe the only time I ever felt true peace, I was gazing at a mountain.. gosh, that was so many years ago. -.- Maybe I should ditch my life and go be the new Tarzan in the wilderness. I probably wouldn't last a day, but it could be worth it.. maybe.. if I'm not mauled by a bear. Am I rambling? I haven't slept in a while.. well I don't sleep much to begin with. I don't know anything about Finland, so shameful of me. It is a huge dream of mine to see at least 4 countries, but seeing the whole world would be absolutely amazing. I've only been to the U.S.A. a few times, barely over the border.. hardly exciting. *day dreams*

Sorry for taking my time with replying. Hope you didn't start thinking I'd abandoned you, too, or some such.
Here where I live one can find some amount of forestation or an actual forest less than an hours journey away by foot, even, in several directions. That's one thing I like very much about living here, and the sea is also closeby.
Worms aren't as such fluffy, but they DO have some bristles on them to help them move better.
Thinking or assuming other people think something of you helps that become true when it may not have been before. Psychology OP pls nerf, eh?
A hike winding through some mountainous area would be interesting. Perhaps even finding some cosy cave to sleep in? Heh, nothing wrong with a bit of rambling every now and then. It happens to me easily if I get excited about something.
Seeing the world helps broaden one's view of life and ways of living it, and of course of places where one can live it. How many countries have I been in, though? Hmm, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy (and San Marino), Greece, Kreta, Bulgaria(twice), Gran Canaria, Turkey, Egypt(twice), Israel, Jordan. Huh, I've not actually really THOUGHT about how many places I've been until now. 16 if you count San Marino which is a miniature state in Italy. Many of those when I was quite little. Israel and Jordan as well as Greece and Kreta I barely remember. One yard in Israel or Jordan, our hotel yard I think it was, there was this kumquat tree. They're tiny citrus fruits that can easily be eaten like grapes. You just pick one and pop it straight in your mouth. I've loved them ever since. And don't get me started on the olives in Greece... (I'm very passionate about good food and drink, and drink with moderation, I might add). Hey look, now I'M the one rambling.

Ah, no, you're basically a stranger, so I wouldn't really consider that abandonment, you have no reason to reply even. x3
I live maybe 1 hour from the sea. I absolutely love the sea air.. it's so fresh and exhilarating. I love shells, but no cool ones are on the beaches near me. In the U.S.A, a state below me has beaches filled with amazing shells, I've not been myself, but a family member is going to take me with some time.
Yeah, I'm bad at assuming things. Social anxiety and bad past experiences can do that. Still, I honestly can't see any reason someone would want to know me. I'm still quite baffled that you're even talking to me. If it's out of pity, then please, don't feel the need to.
Aaa, that's amazing that you've been to that many countries. Ireland is the first country I want to go to.. 'cause of my heritage and stuff, but also 'cause it's dang gorgeous and.. stuff. Sadly, just can't afford it yet.
I've never heard of that fruit! I should try it some time.. in my life. I like olives as well! I don't drink alcohol due to it triggering bad memories for me, and anyways I can't 'cause of my medication. x-x
Anyways, if you want to reply again, you should note me, so we stop sending the artist notifications on her artwork. Maybe you have Steam, Discord, etc.?
