Description "Sometimes we see only dark shadows of what we think we are.

Sometimes we start to leak our true colors
and even though try to hide our "criminal" and "sinful" colors, they end up showing too brightly
until we just can't hide them anymore
and become something your old shape isn't just nealry enough to express.

And then you'll learn what you never knew
how to love yourself." - ~RockDanX

=====

"Can you imagine being stuck in a body you despise, you've never been comfortable with your whole life? You look at the mirror and don't see something you'd like to be; you have to literally cope with your reflection everyday, with feelings of self rejection just getting stronger? And the idea of being something else, trying to break free is just seen as "wrong" and "sinful" by the society?"

When I watched that in a video recently, I admit I cried a bit.
I don't remember very well what was the video's name, nor do I have the link anymore, but it was about transsexuality. I've been watching and reading a lot of articles about it recently, after my best friend found herself a trans this year. I'm doing my best to learn about it everyday, so I can be the best support for her in such a tricky moment of her life.

The more I read, the more trans people I get to know, the more I sympathize with them all. I read many stories and testimonials of many guys and girls who were born in the wrong body and found a completely, magical, and finally happy life after assuming their true selves. It's really fantastic to be a part of it, or at least having the opportunity of watching it closely as it happens with my best friend.

-----

Today, I've found out that another friend of mine has also identified himself as a trans. He's very important to me and he's been really brave about breaking the news. It reminded me of how hard it is for trans people to talk about it with friends and family, and how important it is to have support at that time.

So this is a gift. It's a gift for Dani, a gift for Envy, and a gift to anyone who's out there trying to be true to themselves. It's my way to translate my support into art, hoping it will be shared and bring good feelings to other people who need it as well.
No matter who you are, how you identify yourself, who you love. Letting your true colors run free shouldn't be a reason for any shame or fear. You have people that love you for what you've always been inside, and will stand by your side for whenever you need.

I love you, Dani and Envy. <3

sdfhasjkdfhasdf i'm sorry this sounds so sappy
but it was from the bottom of my heart ; _ ;


I'm sorry if I got some term or explanation wrong too dfjashdfjashdf
I swear I did my best with this ; _ ;



Little PS: This piece's main focus is transsexuality awareness and acceptance, but in my opinion its symbolism could be addapted to any other kind of self discovery and in many different levels. The main idea is really, "letting you be yourself". <3

I didn't get to say much about his piece during your stream due to the tone of the stream's chat, but I do think it turned out very well, surely better than "not even half of what you had imagined". The (digital) water blended spectrum of colours are very pretty, and the soft orbs of light you laid over it are a perfect compliment.

While I obviously cannot identify with the main subject focus of this piece, I think you are absolutely correct in saying it can apply to anyone through the concept of "letting you be yourself", and I feel that message is carried with both power and clarity here. You did an excellent job with this, equally in thought and execution. Well done.
