Description Sorry for the really shitty vent art. I rarely make vent art, but I felt like I shouldn't keep this bottled up.



Lately, there's been a voice in my head. It's been telling me horrible things, like how I'm a horrible artist, that I'm so stupid. I honestly thought that this was just self-doubt, that this was "normal", but I've started to lose connection to the positive side of me.
I'm trying. I'm trying to look at the bright side of things, the bright side of myself, the bright side of the world, but whenever I try to fight back, the voice gets stronger. The voice gets louder and more convincing. It speaks up even when I make the slightest mistake. I've started to surrender to this fight with my own mind. I've started to accept these "lies" as the "Truth". 
I've been getting help from a therapist and my family, but I'm still accepting the things the voice tells me. Everyone is saying good stuff about me, but is it really true? Am I smart? Am I pretty and kind? Is my art really worth something that isn't scribbles on a piece of paper? I don't know...
I hope this voice will shut up soon...
