#will byers birthday

“Nothing lasts forever. Somethings aren’t meant to be- but you’ll never find the answers ‘till you set your old heart free”

So- sappy post incoming:

Today is Will Byers’ birthday and I really wanted to make a special pretty drawing for him today, but- things are rough. Woke up feeling like shit, stress from exams did not helped at all and sooner than later I was in a downwards spiral- it’s one of those days. 

I felt very bad trying to get something cute out today. I hadn’t drawn in days and I really wanted to draw Will being happy and stuff for today, I mean- it’s his birthday, they are supposed to be happy, right?

After trying for literal hours to draw something cute and happy, I ended up sketching this, which was more of what I felt like today, and it got me thinking about Will as a character and why he has been such an impact in my life. But putting it into simple words before the freaking day is over: just like Will, we all have bad days. You cannot give the best of yourself every single day, not for the ones you love- nor for yourself, and that is ok. 

It’s ok to take cover in things that make you feel better, whether it’s a hobby, childhood notebooks that bring you back to a simpler time or just a fictional character that can make you feel less alone…as long as it keeps you alive, it’s ok, and it will be ok.

Happy birthday, Will :)
