Sometimes it surprises me that I'm still stumbling forward. Volcanic psychoemotional waves I can't talk about. Forbidden thoughts. Violent struggles for self-control. It's exhausting, on top of everything else. And yet not exhausting enough

I sense the danger, a little bit, and I'm a little embarrased to admit that in the real world, if we met on the street in the real world without me knowing who you were, I'd probably be a bit afraid of you. But the thing is, here, in this medium, we get to see the good in you, and to me, that is soothing and intruging.

I am interested in you and your life because you and yours are so outside my experience. I'm drawn to the difference that lies specifically between you and me --

But also drawn by the fact that despite the huge massive differences in personality and lifestyle, there are a few core similarities. Creative souls. The use of internalized metaphor. You are a person who I think would process and understand my own head-metaphors on a slightly different level than most of the people I share them with. This is interesting in that it is unique.

Good luck with your struggle. :) You've got people backing you emotionally, even just internets friends.

(Oh, and I'm sorry for never responding to the art you showed to me some months ago -- it evoked a response in me, but at that point I was in kind of a funny place regarding art in general, and I'm ashamed to say it kind of... fell by the wayside, as I waited for a better time to write you back. D:)
