Description "Limbo"

This is a doodle that turned into a quite reflective drawing based on how i currently feel.

Er some background info required: Since the death of my dad my life became engulfed into a rather dark place of misfortune.

I use this dark oblivion as symbolism for that, and the claws you see here are of the beast that caused/created this abyss of torture. This beast is made up of evil and shadow,
it can change form and controls the shadows in this dimension.
Wich are basically everywhere and threaten to devour (the wolf) my soul, at any moment should i show any sign of weakness.
Basically i have been here for a very long time, beaten banged up and torn to shreds by this monster and unable to escape its infinite dimension of darkness. Wandering aimlessly trying to fight for life and freedom.

When my fiancee came along, it was like a light opened up at the roof of this dimension, like a pathway of light that i could to follow up to my escape.

But lately its as if i've just been floating there with the shadows nipping at my heels and the exit still so far out of reach.

I moved to Texas and still nothing seems to be happening,
we are barely eating, and we still dont have jobs, its taking forever to get my diploma, i want my own apartment and a steady job aswell as free time to go for a walk to the library or do art, but since we got here we've been having to babysit my fiancees 1 year old sister from 11am to 11pm.
Mind you i dont tolerate children well. Nothing against kids, but they severely mentally drain me.
while we watch her we have her ALL DAY and we cant go anywhere or do anything. We dont have a car or even a drivers license for that matter.

So now it just feels like im floating in some kind of limbo.

So close to freedom and a real life of happiness, and yet just below my feet is the beast that threatens to devour me.
Its reaching out to catch me again in its grasp, and im floating still, thrashing about in protest anger and fear, trying desperately to find some solid ground, some grip, i want out of this hellhole, i dont want to go back down to where i was in a constant battle, but at the same time i dont want to float here in limbo forever either. I would run out of here so fast if i could just get some grip...

Not fun...

I've been using this since i was a kid as symbolism for my life's misfortune. Many of my sketchbooks depict my soul (the white wolf) fighting against these shadows that threaten to taint/devour. I wont be able to escape till i get into/through college and have a job and my own place...

Love the symbolism in your drawings!
At moment, I am in a similar situation- I´m searching for a job, my appartment is too small for me (even too small to keep pets) and I´m often lonely
But I want to move somewhere where I´m nearer to my friends and can see them more often!

We all seem to have dark implications tearing at us, or at least lying in wait when they aren't. Limbo can be a desired place at times, the stability of nothing can be rather enviable. It'll take a little chaos to move forward though, so despite preferences and such, maybe it's best to prefer yourself for a final bought and into the fray try and find a salvation. If you have the abilities that you've demonstrated and the will you boast for, then one last struggle should be manageable, no? Either way I'm not going to give direct advise or anything of the sort, but I'm sure that when it is presented, you'll know how to act. Most wolves do.

the wolf's expression makes it look strong, so maybe the beast wont dare devour it

Omg you love that disturbing ass icon way too much.
You have been deemed addicted and dependent on this icon,
so we are now confiscating you and you have been ordered
by the court of law to go the CreepyLa rehab facility. C:

hey hey hey now... On my defence it's been awhile since I have used said icon
... but you're probably right... I should go to CreepyLa rehab before it gets out of hand, thank you for showing your concern to my obvious addiction... I am a very sick person

:superdeeduperhugofultimateepichugsofsuperness:

wow :/ I'm so sorry things still aren't going so well It's hard not having a vehicle! That's why I'm usually stuck home :/
and babysitting a one year old all the time?? that's not what you moved down there for, right?

I don't know what to say... I just hope that everything works out for you soon(and it will! you are just too sweet C: ) and I'll be thinking of you lots

O.o -ribs crushed and crumbled- X___x -pats you on the back with decrypted arms-

Yeah its been hectic, atleast you have your own house.
And no it is certainly not what we moved down here for.

But Rudy is trying to get us both hired at McDonalds,
his friend is manager there.
Its not an ideal job but we could get out of babysitting
and likely get reasonable hours where i would still have some free time
for a walk or drawing. It would only be temporary till something better came along.
Plus with BOTH of us working we'd make reasonable money.
(hopefully we can get hired.)

He changed his mind about the other job because
he'd be gone the same hours as his mom, (11am to 11pm)
and i'd be here babysitting his sister by myself.
We would have no time together because he'd be too tired once he got home.
So yeah... :/


Thanks >.<
Im really sorry i havent been on or talking much cuz of this bull.
Its pooey. But no, its not permanent, you are right things will get better soon.
Thank you for giving a damn. ^^
How have you been doing??

I hope life picks up for you again very soon Gradually things will pick up and soon I'm sure you'll see the taint stop spreading and start receding. Best'av luck!!
On a side note, i really like the pose here and the concept behind it. You've really let your soul flow into the White Wolf that's for sure

The best direction to move is forward. This move is a hard process, but it's a huge step in a positive direction. Things will fall into place in time, but don't expect it to happen all at once.

You're a strong woman, keep your chin up! We're here for you, praying for you, cheering for you. You and your fiance can get through this, I know you can.

I know exactly how you feel, but retreating to what is familiar will put you back down deep in that black hole. This step is the hardest, and you knew it would be. Just remember to take it a day at a time and count your blessings. Soon enough a rope will be thrown your way, and it'll be all good from there.

As for not being where you want to be, again it's a case of "it won't happen all at once." Little goals stack up. One thing at a time. It will all come around
