Art is a struggle

That rips your heart out and creates a whole

That you must fill in with music

Or dance

Or brush strokes

Myself Haomnom (Ha~Om~Nom), an artist and a poet

This piece titled "Death of an Angel" explores what remains after something has already been broken

A body that no longer belongs to what it once was,

Yet one that refuses to turn to dust.

Not whole, neither gone...

I majorly work with mixed media and traditional art. This was my first attempt at digital art. While making this I wanted to capture the essence of the note I left for myself after making it out of that dark place, just incase I ever found my self in the slump.

Sometimes the only way out is death, or atleast it seems like it. When that happens the fear of the afterlife; hell's punishment and torture seems irrelevant in comparison to the adversity of life. When that time comes, hold out. Hold out for you will love once again, let yourself have the chance to climb out the pit of loath and despair. The only way out is to drag ahead, I belive in you.

Heyyyy!

I know I haven't written anything in the last two days...that's my bad. In my defense...

So I learned something really important about myself. I will do everything in my power to not do what I don't want to do. If I don't want to study for a math test I will find as many distractions as possible so I have an excuse not to study. But then my grades slipped heavily, so my mom told me something.

"You have to want to do the thing you don't want to do"

And I was like

"what"

Hallo!

Today I went out with another one of my best friends (hi lya!) and discovered that being with someone who loves you unconditionally heals any and all wounds. I was stressed out today, to say the least, and so was she. But I think we both were able to offer love and support to each other in different ways, and just being in her presence made me feel cherished and loved.

If you have someone who you love unconditionally, make sure they know that you love them. Shower them with your love language, whether it be gifts or words of affirmation. And if your way of showing you love them is sitting on a couch and playing video games (also our love language), then that's good too!

Lya, thank you for being such a wonderful friend to me, I'll see you tomorrow hehe

Bye bye!

Love, Xyla

Hi!

Today was a bit rough. I got some disappointing news and I am always stressed enough as it is. It's hard when you feel like things are out of your control. As a high school senior, I'm feeling that especially, and there are times where I will try to control other things in my life, but sometimes it can turn unhealthy. Here are some ways that I've found that help me stay more mentally well and stable

1. eat, drink, sleep: When you're in a stressful situation, you need to replenish your body. Personally, when things got hard for me today, I ate when I was hungry. Don't force yourself to eat or force yourself not to eat. Just replenish your body as it tells you to.

2. Exercise: I suck at this one, but it helps to get out of bed and just do ten jumping jacks. My mom always…

Hello.

I have found that Qingque and Kafka are my favorite characters from HSR. Also that one guy who flies on the swords. I like him too. Nevertheless, all of the more popular characters have merch like photocards I can get and put in my phone but not my girlies! oh no no no they got NOTHING.

So what do i do? I guess I have to make my own.

UGHHHHHH THAT'S SO MUCH WORK

The question is if I would rather have no qingque or kafka or even gaming merch adorning my phone as if to say I am a fan girl please.

Anyway, in other news, today I cleaned my room, and communicated with my friend when something bothered me. Both ended up find, and I am now happy. That's an important thing, if you have a problem with something, just communicate that you do. Or else the…
