    Oh wow, I am, so sorry for all you have gone through and also your mom too.
    I now understand your darker side that comes across in your art a lot more.
    I mentioned previously that my brother died. He was an amazing artist. When he was 9 and I was 2, our mother passed away from cancer. Our dad followed 14 years later, also of cancer. My brother at 9 was really vulnerable and back then, there were no programs to help kids with grief. My dad had 7 kids to raise and had his own sadness, so never talked about our mother. It would have been too painful. This greatly impacted my brother. I remember at his funeral, all his friends saying 'at least he is with his mother now', as they knew how much that lose impacted him. As an artist though, his style was more like yours. He could draw and paint anything, but he focused heavily on goth style and vampires. I think he was obsessed with death, probably since he was that innocent little 9 year old boy. I kind of wonder how he would have turned out, had he not gone through the trauma.
    Our childhoods scar us so much. Even as adults when you would think we should be getting our shit back together, the trauma stays. It doesn't take much for those memories to come back.
    I am glad for you that you got to your happy place after everything you went through. There were some huge obstacles in your journey, but you got there in the end,

      I understand that completely. So many "what ifs" and constantly wondering if things had been different would they have been better? I am happy with where I am now, so I don't have too many regrets, but my heart does break for my mom, because I know she blames herself for my sister.

    I've just found your channel and deeply look forward to binge watching all your current videos and future ones. I absolutely loved the honesty and truth of your 'draw your life' story, you've gone through so much and had to stay strong but it sounds like through it all you've managed to find out so much about yourself like how strong and resilient you can be, you found someone special who loves you for you, you have some beautiful babies who I'm sure will agree are the best mom they could have and now you're finding a way to let out all that wonderful creative talent you've been bottling up. I really look forward to getting to know more about you and your art in future videos. All the best 😊

      Thank you! I'm still learning so much myself and I think that's part of it. My advice is If you want to start, just start. As you go, you'll figure out what things work and what things don't. Watch others. See what's working for them and don't copy, but put your spin on it. And just really engage with your audience. You have to build a community and make friends, because that's what people want to watch, a friend.

      I find crafting and colouring very therapeutic, but I also find it difficult because of the brain damage. I can't ever see an image in my head as to what I want it to look like, so I just have to go with it and hope for the best. Sometimes it turns out really good, but other times not so good.

    Wow, I don't know what to say..... thank you for sharing your story.
    My name is Phoebe. for a long time, it was such an uncommon name that I always knew someone was talking to me, if I heard it. But in the last few years, it's become more and more popular.... but it still feels strange when I hear my name, and it's not in reference to myself. For a long time, I didn't like my name.... then I did like it, mostly because it was different... now I still like it.... but it's not so unique anymore. Oh well.

    • @artwithashleighmonet
      @artwithashleighmonet  5 місяців тому +2

      Aw, I love it so much. The main reason we chose it for our daughter was because it was unique. We had a list of our top 5 and asked my cousin to weigh in. She's a teacher and said that in her years teaching, she had a student in her class with every name we liked EXCEPT Phoebe. As an "Ashley" in the 90's, I definitely didn't want her to be one of 3 girls in class with the same name. Hahaha.
