Description
This was vent art from 2009, even if this doesn't look it. Reminiscing about my childhood, prior to losing close members of my family and much of my innocence, made me feel a little bit better.
Now it's 2015, my life has improved a thousand times over. '09 was a rough year for me. Everyone has them. Since, I've made new friends, reconnected with old family, gone to therapy and found that my biggest issue is not bpd or even depression, it's my poor self-esteem.
I've since grown tremendously and found so much more purpose in my life, mostly by myself and on my own terms, but also in part thanks to my beautiful partners, loving family and caring doctors, all of whom encourage and believe in me, and know that I can be a strong and independent person while still keeping my childlike self and imagination intact.
I'm faster with commissions, I make enough to support myself, my pets, and even my family and partners when they need it. No one knows just how much I've conquered in the past few years. No one but my family and friends, at least. I get to make money at a job that I love AND maintain the person I want to be and always have been, without fear, hesitation or guilt, which few people can truly say about themselves.
I'm the luckiest person alive, and I'm finally starting to realize that I DO deserve the happiness I've found. And no one can take any of it away from me, no matter how hard they may try. The awful people from my past will never be able to touch me.
