It's called Self Care is Important and the one on the left was the first thing I had drawn in what felt like a lifetime. I kept going and hope that you do, too.

Spoiler because idk if bones are considered a trigger. Misspelled caution while inking but I really liked the colors

(Sorry for the strange art style, i just didn't want to be too generical drawing the versions of myself. And about the lack of a background im not good with scenarios)

went to therapy for sex traumas and my therapist groomed me

June, 2008.

Some nightmares are heavy, some memories frighten me...

In honor of Mother's Day, I'm reposting this. My mom died at 38 years old. She was born with a disabling condition and doctor's told her parents that she would never walk, have kids, or live a normal life. She walked until she was 30 and had 5 kids. She grew up in an abusive household and then lived through cycles of abusive relationships until she died of a terminal illness. She never got to know what healing and warmth felt like. She wanted to be an artist but never got the chance to share her art.

I miss her so much.
