There are days when I’m feeling absolutely useless. I can’t write, I can’t think, I question my abilities… all I want to do is hibernate or run away. I’m sure I’m not alone in these feelings! On those days that I’m feeling this way, I turn to some of my favourite writers and artists for inspiration and to help me push through these gross feelings. I hope they help you too.

Remember — you are not alone. You are amazing, and the world needs you and your art. Reach out. Push through, keep fighting, and never, never give up.
