I hate adults who think there are only two ways to talk to young people.
1, Talking down to you, treating you like a child. Even if you are a child this particular tone they use is really condescending. It's not just treating you like a child; it's treating you like an imbecile who has to be forced to listen.
2, Talking to you like you're their age whether you're six or sixteen. Using words they think are above your reading level, talking about politics and business and shit, etc. And if you don't know what something they say means, they get this "Oh ignorant baby" smile and start talking to you like number 1.
And the really messed up thing is they don't do 2 because they think you're smart and mature and can make good conversation on those topics. They do it to test you, to see how far your knowledge goes before they can surpass you and essentially show you who's superior.
I acknowledge your age, and I treat you as an equal because you are my equal. I'm not magically better or more deserving of respect just because I'm several years older than you. You're not "just a kid/preteen/teenager/etc." You're a real human being with real thoughts and emotions. Everything you feel is valid. You are an independent individual being, not part or an extension of the people who birthed you. You don't deserve to be treated as less than human or like an idiot who doesn't know anything.
You're still growing and learning and should be commended for any and every little thing you learn and make and feel. Even after your body finishes growing and maturing, your heart and mind and soul will never stop.
You should be treated like your age. Meaning keeping your emotional and physical maturity in mind while talking to you, and giving you every bit of dignity and respect you deserve, NEVER condescending or talking down to you.
You are so much more and so much better than that, and any adult who thinks otherwise can go suck a dickbutt.

Moving
I've made a new account. There's a lot on this one that I just want to leave behind so I'm leaving it. If we're friends, you can message me for my new username. I will bring some of my art from this account to the new one, but not all of it. I have learned, grown, and changed a lot over the years and I am not the same person I was when I started this account years ago. Far from it. Those of you who were here when I got started might not even recognize me at this point. I want a fresh start. I plan to be more active on my new account and post fan art and original art in both traditional and digital forms. Probably also pictures of my pets. That's about it. Bye.
Sorry for lack of updates
I suck lmao.
Updates on my life: I finally got on a sleep aid, Lunesta 2 mg. It works pretty well. I would get a decent night's sleep if only my freaking cat didn't insist on waking me up at 5 every morning because he wants me to let him out. As a result I'm a freaking zombie when my alarm goes off at 6:50 to wake up my husband for work and it's really hard to get up to wake him up.
I watched The Avengers: Infinity War and almost cried. No spoilers but omfg. At least my favorite Avenger survived so that's a relief.
My birthday is in 5 days. I'll be 26. I can't believe I'm already this old. Omg.
My mom bought art lessons for us to do toget
I'm not dead. Let's have dinner.
It's been way too long since I logged in. I'm sorry.
I don't have any ideas for art right now but I'll try to think of something.
So I've been... okay, I guess. I'm still getting headaches on a daily basis, but I'm on better psychiatric medications. Unfortunately I haven't had therapy since December 2015 and it shows. Just because I'm not overwhelmed by psychosis much nowadays doesn't mean everything else is okay. I still have executive dysfunction through the roof and have trouble focusing on tasks. At least I think I've gotten my anger under control thanks to my medications.
I'm trying to get my shit together and do things like clean my
Health complaints
Yeah, I just want to complain a little about what's going on with me.
Lately my psychosis has been kicking up. I've been having a lot more hallucinations and paranoid delusions than usual.
There are people who live in the walls of my house and they watch everything I do. I'm not sure that they're quite human, since they have really thin, flexible bodies that let them squeeze a bunch of them into the small space inside a wall, and they're dark and translucent. They're also covered with eyes and mouths so they can see everything and tell me lots of things at once. I don't know how many there are, just that they're crammed into every wall in m
