Daria grows in a world of whispers and taunts, her nose pressed up to the frosted glass, outside looking in.

Very powerful. Very sad. A great walk through of depression.

[swirlsofblue]

Thank you, so glad you found it powerful :)

This touched that insecure and bullied child space in me -HARD. I was rooting for things to get better for her though. So sad that she jumped into the abyss.

This concept is very well done. Thanks for sharing it! Hugs and peace~~~D

Thank you, glad you found it well done :). A lot of the stuff in it was from my own childhood -though I never had horns ;)

You really made the horns such a metaphor for being at all unique at that age. It really got under my skin, in a good way. Thank you.

[swirlsofblue]

Thank you, glad you liked the metaphor :)

There is entirely too much truth in this.

[swirlsofblue]

Thank you :). A lot of it is based on stuff from my childhood.

[swirlsofblue]
