We'll be here to help you get through it

*Hugs you with all the hugs in the universe*
It's going to be ok bud. Your going to be ok. Everything will be ok.

Oye

Si, Techinamente Ay Gente Que Lo Tiene Peor

Pero, Eso No Hace Tu Situacion Invalido Okay ?

Puedes Hacer Complain, Sacelo Todo, Es Normal Y Ayuda Con El Stress

Aqui Estamos Para Soportate ;w;

Eh, I wouldn't worry about leaving college. I dropped out my first year cause it wasn't working out and school life wasn't me. Its better to move on than anything else. Otherwise you'll only be wasting your time not doing other things instead.

I'm sure everything will be okay.

feel free to give me a poke if you need it.

I can think of so many people that understand what you're going through. I believe there are many people that will listen and care about what you have to say. And I know there are so many people out there that definitely hope you feel better.

I am someone within those three categories, and I can think of so many others who also fit. Never be afraid to speak your mind. There are lots of us who will listen (or read)

Fully read, and prepared to give comfort if needed.
We’re here for you, dude.

Hey, I know you'll be able to push through. I'm always open to talk if you ever need it.

I hope things go better for you

If music make you happy then by god keep doing it! Perhaps even write songs of your own or do covers. Really try to focus on what you love. It’s alright if the art becomes a side thing. Just do what you love my dude.

I didn’t know you play in a band. That’s really cool. Do you mean like a garage band or an organized wind ensemble?

3 garage bands to be precise. One of them is indie, one is garage rock, and one is soft pop, shoegaze rock

have they released any work?

Is it alright if I note you the releases we have?

that'd be very nice.

Hang in there dude! You'll make it!

Point 1: Don't feel bad that you've dropped out of university; while I'm not sure about the costs of going to higher ed in Chile, but regardless of money, a lot of people are realizing that simply having a fancy piece of paper isn't enough to make it. Sure, education is nice and useful for some fields, but it really doesn't matter when it's about WHO you know over WHAT you know. You could have an advanced degree in heavily demanded fields and still not get into the kind of job you want simply because you don't know the "right kind of people" to get you into those jobs.

Point 2: Can't really say anything about that one, because my situation isn't similar to that. Only one of my family members went to college, and most of them do manual labor or blue collar jobs.

Point 3: I think this one where I can see a lot of overlap and relatable issues with. It seems like people in online art circles like DA and FA are ignoring groups of more experimental artists; sure, they still come for the kinky/fetish art, but do anything else and try to explore beyond that and suddenly nobody is interested in what you do. Sure, kink stuff is fun and enjoyable, but it's only natural to want to explore other things after a while. Not only that, I feel like whenever I do any fetish art, it gets blown off (for lack of a better word) because it isn't whatever flavor of the month TV/Movie/Cartoon/Video Game character is that everyone's wild for.

As for the identity part of it, I think (as I've experienced) that any major tragedy that has happened in your life along with the social anxieties of Cornavirus has caused has resulted in a major state of confusion. I know I'm still debating about what kind of artist I truly am, and I feel like not having a truly consistent alter-ego/fursona/self insert as well as lacking any truly "big" work like a comic is part of the reason why I can't settle onto one particular artistic niche. This probably isn't helped by having a very hectic schedule where the time you actually get to sit down and truly think about the ideas you want to work with can ever happen.

I know comparing ourselves isn't probably the best thing to help, but maybe it might give you some insight or some other things to think about it.

I fit the same in 2-3 of the categories here, and I think I understand what you're going through.

I'm going through a lot of things, myself. But even though I'm bad at stuff like this, I'm ready to try be of help if you want to talk with someone about it.

*hugs* I'm really sorry you've had a rough 8 months. I read all of it, and i can say that it is true on those occasions.

You have me if you want to talk to me, alright? ;n;

if you need to talk to us then we dont mind lisening.

I know I can't be of much help, but I hear ya. It still kinda sucks that the band sessions got cancelled though.

Your at least able to still practice music while we wait out this whole Corona thing, right?
(Replied to myself, I know)

I'm able to play at home every once in a while when my mom's shifts line up on a weekday. I'm rarely home alone and drums are pretty loud ya know

You stay safe too, buddy, YOU stay safe too...

Similar problem here, though, excluding the college part. Not gonna lie, but really, I don't know what you're going through emotionally cause I lack empathy. But I can recongonise what kind of crisis you're going through. One thing I've learned is that being too many things and thinking too many stuff takes a toll on both body and mind. Really, in my close to two decades of existence I've existed as a hypocrite and a liar. Not that I'm unwilling to change, but it's too late to change. Your case is probably worse than mine but in terms of the possibility for recovering to normal lives, I'd say it's bigger than mine. Take care man and remember, shit happens.

Stay strong mate. I went through an identity crisis myself last year. Even if it's just a part of yourself, I know the shitstorm it can bring and the damage it can do. But if you're as connected to music as I am, it will be your salvation

*Hugs*
You're not alone mate. Any number of these people will listen to you and wait patiently for your recovery~

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I've been going through similar stuff as well. I'll always be available if you need a shoulder to lean on. I hope you'll feel better soon.

Number 3 hits me hard...

Goat is extremely tired at the time of writing this message, but let it be known that I fully support and wish to comfort the shiba friend. You're too kind of a dork to see suffer like this.

You'll get better man, i know it

I hear you out matey. I've been having feelings of insignificance or inferiorness for a while, like my mind doesn't recognize any of the virtues I may have or the positive impact of my accomplishments. I don't know how or where to feel included. I hope you are able to still practice or enjoy music in anyways you can given the circumstances. I deeply wish for you to take care too, my struggling friend.

It's good to air out your thoughts and clear your head. Nothing good comes out of keeping things bottled up, so it's good that you're willing to express your feelings.

Don't feel bad or guilty over dropping out of university or working as a freelance. The idea that you need to devote yourself to study and backbreaking labor in order to have a "real" job is just a false and erroneous expectation that older generations try to push on to the newer ones. If you're happy with what you're doing, and are able to financially support yourself at the same time, then there's no reason to feel like what you're doing is something wrong or lesser to those around you.

I'm very glad to hear that music is working out for you. Creative outlets are a great way to help us cope with our own problems and find our way back to life. Also would love to hear your work sometime.

Stay strong, find pride and joy in your work, and know that you're never alone in your struggles.

I can imagine how hard it must be right now. But you and everyone must remember Storms don't last forever, I know this might sound cheesy but things will get better eventually, you just have to keep holding onto hope

Hey. Sorry I read this late, but better late than never. I know there’s no magic words I can say to instantly make someone feel better, but just know that you have my support during these trying, confusing times.
