Description "Nobody broke your heart
You broke your own
'cause you can't finish what you start"

[Lyrics from "Alameda" by Elliott Smith]



Oldish art that I found, from the winter of 2013-14 which was the darkest times in my life so far... Experiences of utterly loneliness and heart break, uncertainty, cowardice, and self blame. 
This character is really hard to write a story for because the pain that brought her into existence is still hurts a bit, but I've mostly gotten over it.. but that's why I turned her into a character, to process the dark feelings from that time. X'D

I feel that these kind of arts are really hard to come by and create, especially in the times that you actually feel really down...even harder to make it to express the right feelings and convey it in such a beautiful manner. Glad you came out of those dark times, and able to put up this drawing and turning it into something positive such as making a character out of it :')

One of my favorite quotes is that "Art comforts the disturbed, and disturbs the comfortable"... the first half of that I've feel a lot! This is why they have art therapy...   But when you're overwhelmed by dark feelings, sometimes you just need to paint things black!  I've made some of my best art pieces when I was feeling super depressed; and they've made me feel better. 
Haha, yeah.. it's only 3 years later, but I posted it! (mostly cuz it was buried in papers/I never post sad stuff until I'm over it XD)  Creating characters helps me to process aspects of myself.... eventually I'll be able to write this girl's story.

Every brush stroke is like a glimpse into you, and it's sharp and strong. You have a way of expressing the dark emotions in such a vivid way.

Gotta get those feelings out some way! You know what they say... "Art comforts the disturbed (and disturbs the comfortable)"
