Hey folks! This is the result of my Art Event all about bad habits - thank you to those who participated!! I have attempted to address some of our mutual concerns and bad habits with this piece rather directly... I hope it does not read as "preachy" - as you know, I myself am struggling with bad habits too, so, this is as much for me as it is for you! Folks, we are incredible - our brains are NOT broken, and we are NOT unfixable, and don't let anyone try to convince you that you are! I see so many people just going like "Oh I just have ADHD so I am a lost cause", and I just feel like the common symptoms of it are so similar to the state of mind where you're posioned by social media, that you can never truly be sure unless you've been diagnosed 5 times over by specialists - which is why I included the bit about self-diagnosing! Guys, guys, guys, we can really do it, you know?? It's not too late!! Let this drawing be your sign - you CAN fix your life yet!!!! You CAN fix your brain!! Plead with it, make peace with parts of it that are confused and fooled by "easy solutions" - this doesn't just go for social media, this also goes for overeating, escaping into sleep whenever you can, browsing NSFW whenever possible, avoiding contact with new people... You're a hero!! Aren't you?? You're your own hero, yes!! I'm my own hero too - let's not let the moments of strength get unaddressed and waste them, and in these moments of strength, let's also recognize our weaknesses and try to find the root of them - that root might very well exist!! In fact, it definitely does exist - I believe we don't just do things because we're "used" to doing it, no, instead, we do things because there is a reason for it, including bad habits, and until you can untie that reason and shine a spotlight on it, I think you will struggle! I have attempted to lay out what I think is the reason for most common bad habits we share in the top left corner!

Okay, I'm rambling, but I feel strong about it!! Thanks again for participating, and I hope this helps someone take a step!!!!
