stress, fear & anxiety
lettering piece/panic response
my last post ‘hatred is not a religion’ got so much hate from many different people for many different reasons that i caved in, deleted it, deleted instagram and spiraled; how could i not: endless negative messages, threats, wrongful accusations, some people even trash talking the design aspect.
i’m not in the best mental state recently, designing and lettering are the two things i had to express my feelings and escape. these people made me feel insecure and i went into a state of fear. i got threatened, called out as a liar by some, a sinner by others, all because i did a piece to call out the truth, or at least my truth.
i never claimed religion is bad but hatred will never be a religion. hating in the name of a god is probably the worst of sins, i would think. the mere fact that you were hating on this statement shows what kind of ‘religious’ person you are.
long story short, lots of fear, anxiety and stress have been present in my mind lately. but i’m working through them, trying to get back on my feet. hatred and ignorance will never win and silence my opinions.
be kind to the people around you, check in on your friends. i was spiraling alone for a couple weeks now; as much as we’d like to believe we’re strong enough on our own, nothing beats togetherness.
