Hope for a new beginning.Playing around with some cheap oil pastels. I want to do more of these type of drawings in between chapters, maybe do the covers in traditional mediums if I can mange to complete it in a timely manner.I'm kind of scared of this new direction. I'm already facing rejection for speaking so openly about my trauma and being critical of the people that deeply wounded me. I tried to search for other authors that are forthcoming about their emotional / personal problems and there are far less than I thought. I figured it would be less stigmatized by now, but I'm realizing that it's going to be very tough moving forward.

I think it’s beautiful because it human. I think life is beautiful because of the rain. I hope it’s gets easier to be open about what has happened and what is going on.

I'm surprised that other authors aren't reaching out as well. Most of us creatives have some kind of lingering trauma. Keep doing what you are doing. You are brave for taking this step forward into healing.

Thank you, that's what I think what was missing from my old work. Of course something human still came through, but it felt like I wasn't able to fully access my emotions.

This drawing is beautiful and you are loved. Remember to do deep breathing to help calm the mind, drink water, eat nourishing foods and rest when able. Keep going your doing good.

I'm a physician that does work in behavioral health, and artists in my experience are almost always beset by trauma and struggle. The world needs your bravery more than ever. When you think about the creations that helped you feel seen, works that you connect with, are they all bubblegum pop and perfect kaleidoscopes? No. I can definitely see it's hard for you to be this open and raw, but if you can bear it, keep going. You'll never know how many lives you will touch and uplift. ❤️

Thank you, I'm trying my best to stay strong!

Thank you, I'll keep fighting! It does seem like there is some sort of correlation between creativity and emotional / mental instability. Although I'm of the opinion that trauma isn't necessary to create wonderful art. I think it inhibits creativity based on the last few years of SWFTD. It's really difficult to make art when I can barely function some days...

Your work will only get better and better because you'll be able to depict different human experiences clearly, making for a really fleshed out characters and stories.

Also baby girl fuck them losers for rejecting you, obviously they don't know quality when they see it.
