Drawing is not only about creativity. It's also about therapy. Dawn on a phone with a finger

Ive been really struggling with feeling like ive lost myself. And am trying to draw my feelings to see if it helps. Its not nice art and I dont think it has to be. Not everything I make has to be a masterpiece or something im proud of. Im posting this to hopefully remind myself. That even if im struggling and I hate myself I have people who can see the good things about me when I cant. I grew up with so much hostility and self hatred and some days I really wonder if surviving is worth the mental pain that lingers after the physical threats are gone. But ill be damned if I let the people who made me hate myself win. Even if I survive on nothing but spite and the hope that ill get better one day. So I guess the only thing I have to say if someone does actually read this is dont give up. Find people that encourage you instead of pulling you down and try everyday to be better that the last. A better day will find you, you just have to fight long enough to see it. ❤️ Happy pride month🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Trigger Warning!!!!!! Subject is abuse : I'm so happy with how the coloring turned out! I also learned that shading is a lot easier when you don't try to kill the paper. Ignore the fact that the exclamations to the right make no sense (they are not speaking spanish obviously). I hope nobody finds this too offensive, i just wanted to explore the relationship 2-D and Murdoc share a bit. Their dynamic intrigues me a lot and I found it a bit therapeutic while drawing this. I too have been in a violent relationship so I felt a connection to 2-D's character pretty deeply, but also Murdoc as well. Hurt people, hurt people. Abuse often comes in cycles and Murdoc's past (specifically his childhood) I've assumed is one of the big factors that shapes how he interacts and forms connections with others. His and 2-D 's relationship reflects so much of his own relationship with his father, but we get to see how much growth and maturity start to happen for them both throughout the phases. I feel like by the time we get to cracker island we see a lot of change in Murdoc. I mean, he's still making 2-D dig holes (for some reason) but it's so refreshing to see him compliment him a bit more and not always just smack him around verbally (or physically). I am super excited to see what's next for them and the rest of the band this summer in House of Kong!
