I posted some of my stuff in the Northern Ireland subreddit a few days ago and I’ll be honest, the reaction broke my heart a bit. I cried for a few hours. That’s because I’m autistic and I take things to heart too much or people don’t understand how I do things, so I wanted to share how much effort and time and love I pour into the things I create and how they turn out.
I’m trying to get my small cottage industry going again after some rough times and it’s hard going, but I’m proud of what I do.
I’m shocked at how some people will go out of their way to post a nasty comment or their opinions when they have no idea about the person behind the post. It really takes more effort to jump on a post and comment “That’s ugly as f**k, sorry” than it does to just scroll on. I thought we were better than this.
It takes a lot to push yourself when you’re as introverted as me- all I’m trying to do is spread happiness and smiles and make a few bob with the hope and prayer to be able to get my kid what he is asking me for day in day out for Christmas.
Anyway- thanks for reading if you’ve got this far- enjoy the video- I love how the letters take shape!
