Don’t let it ruin you.

I know this shit is hard.. I saw an old piece I made and decided to remake it. In my last piece description I talked about all of the traumatic things I’ve experienced and how they should have ruined me... being homeless, losing both of my parents, having to starve and struggle... but now we all have this big cloud of trauma hanging over our heads that is the Coronavirus. We don’t know what’s going to happen after this is all “over” we don’t know if we will have jobs, or money, or a home... we don’t know what will happen to the economy. I just need you to remember that I’ve been through all of that before. I’ve had no job, no money and no home... and I made it out. It was hard, and I had to fight tooth and nail, but I made it out. If you allow what’s meant to ruin you to make you invincible, there’s nothing you can’t conquer... I promise you. I am stressed tf out. My partners job is closed for the foreseeable future with no pay, my weddings are getting canceled and we are only making a tiny fraction of what we need to survive thanks to all of you guys that are helping me by buying my work!! I’m scared... I’m letting my anxiety get the best of me. But I know deep down that this will not ruin me. I will be able to pick myself up, dust myself off and figure out a way to take care of my family.. and you can do the same. I just want you to know that I believe in you and I am rooting for you!!! If we stand together and fight, we can get through anything.
