Even knowing how it would end, it still stings. He meant the world to me. I know he's the type to leave things behind and I know his circumstances are hard right now. I always figured that no matter how close we got and no matter how he opened up, I wasn't a special exception. It wasn't personal, and I don't take it that way having heard everything he's been through + is currently going through. In fact I'm kind of worried for him. It's still so hard not to want him back, to ignore all the small things in my day to day that remind me of him, or to see all the things I wish I could show him.

I won't be saying anything unless he does though of course. He was a good man and if he ever comes back I'd be happy to talk to him again. It's his call though, and if he wants to go his own way for a while or forever I respect that too.

My relationship just wasn't normal period but I want to know if this was normal because I never see anybody talking about this kind of thing. He did some things after the breakup that I think might have been attempts to get a reaction out of me. This was one of them. He never asked if it was okay to do so post-breakup.

*Also small note, this was during the time when we were still mutuals existing in the same social circle (before I left it and before I blocked him). I did not seek this out, it just popped up on my home page at the time.

*Extra note for clarification. The photos were taken while we were in a relationship. We only met up IRL that one time

Sometimes I knock out a little early and my family will wake me up to watch show together. However, any time it happens I panic. It doesn't matter whether or not I'm dreaming, what I'm dreaming about, or how gently they wake me up. I always end up repeating some words like "okay" over and over again while trying to slow my breathing back down. I feel scared for whatever reason. What can I do to stop this?

Hello there! I am an aspiring (?) artist who has been thinking of making short comics for a while. I've read through some memoir graphic novels from different creators that, despite their subject matter, have been comforting. In particular, there was this one graphic novel about a woman's experience working in the harsh, male-dominated field that is the oilsands. While she went through so much more, it made me feel less alone (as someone who had an unpleasant encounter with a guy I thought was my friend in my first year of college) to read about her thoughts and feelings towards the things she dealt with.

So I was wondering if making comics to let out my frustration about that and other things I've had to deal with would help me process them or make me feel worse?

Hello! Im working with a canon ae-1 and Kodak gold fim. For a project I'm doing, I'm experimenting with photographing lights of different colors. Every other color has been easy enough to work with, but red always comes out with incredibly low contrast. Moving the aperture one stop lower produces some change but it is minimal.

I have been advised to switch to 800 T film for it, but it might arrive after the project is due.
