I was absolutely stunned when I created this portrait of a bird when I began drawing. My artwork I feel is just catching up.
Do you have any beginner art where you feel you got really lucky?

“Sins lead to darkness in one's heart. Obedience to Allah is light, but disobedience to Allah is darkness. When one's darkness increases, one's confusion intensifies, until one falls blindly into the world of innovation and misguidance, just like a blind person walking alone at night. This darkness may become deeper and gradually shows up as dullness in the face of the sinner.”
Imam Ibnul Qayyim
[Book:- Spiritual Diseases and Its Cures]

“Earlier in my life, I thought the things that mattered were the things that you could see, like your car, your house, your wealth, your property, your office. But as I've grown older I've become convinced that the things that matter most are the things that you can't see — the love you share with others, your inner purpose, your comfort with who you are.”
- Jimmy Carter

Hope not for someone or something specifically, but a general kind of hope. A hope that she might one day have hope.

Unlike Björk, there
is no army of me; just
one tired, worn-out girl
with a broken sword and
splintered shield that has
yet to realize she's been
defeated, but so long
as that penny spins in
the air, she'll keep
breathing.

My body is weak, but my hope is like venon, spreading through my veins, strong enough to keep me alive, to keep me going, to keep healing. Even when it seems slow, I can remember that this hope running through my frail body is the energy I use to recover. My hope is contagious and spreading through this body, as many times as it needs to fight. I'm not going anywhere.

Chapter: AXL Development Documents, Initial Story Concept PART 3
Tumblr media
If you happen to wonder why this project has some psychological or just some heavy themes that haven't been explored by the series prior, it's because the creation of this fanfiction happened to coincide with some bad and traumatic stuff I've experienced a mere month after I decided to make Chapter: AXL into a real thing. Usually when you feel like something is getting really good, there would be a moment you will just spiral down to the depths. Both your existence and mental state fall so deep you would look back at who you were before and not recognise that person anymore.
Going through a sudden loss of a loved one while you're still a child (or rather a teenager in my case but I can say I had a mind of a child at that time) is always devastating, and going through that together with your family can be even more soul-crushing because you see their pain and suffer even more from inability to influence your other family members, feeling weak and even going insane from that sometimes. Knowing that the last time I was optimistic was when I wasn't accepting the death of a family member and was trying everything to make them open their eyes and speak again has been making myself sad everytime I looked back at who I was just one and a half years ago. I am even tearing up while writing this right now, so I am clearly not helping myself here.
You can never truly recover from something like this. You can only overcome, let go and enter a new chapter fo your life as a new person. You would look back at the past, at the good moments you had so long ago, maybe you'll smile, maybe you'll get sad again, but just try looking at the bright side. Those happy memories were something that happened to you. The people you see in them might be gone, but it would've made them sad if you just gave up after the loss. You was strong enough to get back up and learn how to live again, despite everything you went through. And if you're still there, at the bottom, it can motivate you to get better for them and maybe regain the optimism or happiness that was lost.
If you fear death after an experience like this... I know how hard it isfor some because I've been there, but just try to accept your mortality. Knowing that you can't stay alive for all eternity would make you cherish the time you have on this Earth more and live a life to the fullest (within reason). Eternal life would just make you less human eventually (which was also something that happened to X prior to Zero series as well so here's an example of how living forever can suck).
"Why is it in a Megaman fanfic?". Well, I always related to Axl and I managed to bond even more with him after what I went through (the loss of a family member at a relatively young age, to be exact). Besides, Axl's story was supposed to be grimmer and deeper according to one of the producers of X7. I felt like taking a psychological approach to the story of Chapter: AXL and exploring the trauma that you get after experiencing horrific events only made sense. However, I am still not going into that topic too deep because I am still writing a Megaman story, but maybe you can argue that I still can do that because it's based off MMZ, but we have to remember that it's a story about war and hope - a hope for a better peaceful future that comes after the worst, like the light in the darkest depths you could've fell into.
You have to retain this hopefulness, give a breathing room after a disaster and not bombard the player reader with depression all the way through.

To be a purple clematis
Growing and blooming and climbing high, like a purple clematis
May I put a healthier mindfulness into practice
Even with this broken stem, with determination I’ll move henceforth
No longer merely idle in the soil for warmth
And with the way the colors red and blue mix to purple in balance
Let me meld rationality with emotionally, even with the past as weighful valance
The ties that push me on, they comprise my roots
As gentle rain of the kindness I’ve known will give me more flowers to produce
Oh resilience and mental strength, come to me and expand my wisdom as the clematis is prone to grow
Let all my efforts burst forth floor seeds one may sow
Surely, then, I’ll rise and rise with these scars
And finally reach the stars

Some kind words and advice I got from some of my highschool teachers after I told them I'd failed my second year at uni (after being a burnt out gifted kid, some of these words really meant a lot to me). Enjoy:
1- You aren't your failure, you are a collection of all your experiences. You're only a failure if you tell yourself you are. -my biology teacher
2- Almost everyone fails at some point. What matters isn't that you failed, what matters is finishing what you started. -my physics teacher
3- You'll come back from this, it's a chance to really solidify what you knew and really understand what you didn't. It still sucks though. -my English teacher
4- Your parents usually aren't disappointed because of who you are, they are usually disappointed because they wanted the best for you. It doesn't mean that your journey is over now, it just means it'll take a bit longer. At the end of the day, once you have your degree no one asks how long you studied for it. -my biology teacher again
Maybe this isn't as helpful to you reading this, maybe you've never been in a position where you feel like you've failed abysmally, and i hope that you don't feel like that in your life. But for the people who do feel like they've failed and are irredeemable now, maybe these will speak to you. Maybe they won't, but I do believe that it's not over until you give up on your dream.

i used to resent being known for my "spirit" or my optimism or my hopefulness. why couldn't i be known for how smart I was or for my talents or leadership or strength or anything else? alas... i was known for my "spirit". but now i would give anything for my "spirit" to be recognised.
i don't want to be great anymore. i just want to be kind.
