A practice I've been doing lately is to think to myself, "Is X action/thought/etc how my best and highest self would act/feel/think/etc?" and if no, I change what I am doing, thinking, saying, etc. I find it a very helpful practice when I am working on my mindset and removing negativity. We also experience doubt and negativity more easily when we're ill or not feeling well, so it's not entirely surprising that you're feeling that way about your audition after bouncing back from being so sick. Be patient with yourself and love yourself. You have so many people who see the greatness in you, so try and see yourself from our perspective. You are so greatly talented, honest and loving. You're a great cat mum and actress. Your art makes people feel happy and cozy, at least in my experience. If one audition falls through it just means that something even more amazing than you think is just around the corner so long as you don't give up and continue pushing forward. You got this. ♥ I am sure that you'll be a cat in your next life. I totally get you on the existential dread thing. I went through a period of 6-10 months last year where I was constantly in a state of dread, thinking of when I'll die and how even if I live the world is doomed. I console myself with the consideration that I can only do what I can do, and the main reason I want to drive my stationery business to a substantial level of status is so I have the power to do something about it. When I get to a point where I can start charities and the like, I will focus on collaborating with and creating foundations to plant trees, recover deforested areas and heal mother earth. Likewise I also intend on using my business eventually to hire people the world over especially those who are unemployed, low income and/or homeless. I want to put together some sort of housing for the homeless and help them with creating their best life. I want to be successful to donate and to help my family like they've helped me. I want to be an ethical business and to use it to change the mindsets of people around fast fashion and consumerism. I want to use my success to also teach others how to get to that point themselves and work on causes that they find worthy. I want to donate to cancer foundations because my family is going through it currently and I want to help others who don't have the means to pay for treatment. My family isn't particularly well off, but we know how to save so we're managing but others don't or can't and I believe everyone should have access to healthcare. I want to provide jobs for people that aren't driven by greed like my previous workplace, where they cut everyones' hours by more than half and a lot of us weren't able to sustain ourselves and our lives because of corporate greed and investors not receiving enough profit. I want to hire above wage and provide that sustainable level of living income so no one has to worry about living. I know that this is my path, and I'll get there one day. Someday. And that's why I am so inspired by you and your love and care for everyone. We can heal our world. It's not lost yet. ♥

2019-11-15 00:06:02 +0000 UTCHey cheyenne, I totally understand where you’re coming from. I’m currently employed as a full time illustrator/designer in the textile/fashion industry. My company is trying to be ethical and sustainable but it does so much to devalue art (which I experience personally) and also contributes so much to the current fast fashion problem. I deal with the guilt of that weighing on me almost every day but I need a job and I need to be able to support myself... thanks for speaking on this. It’s nice to not feel alone in the moral quandary
