Ok thread over!

I think vent art is incredibly important and is an excellent way to get emotions out in a healthy constructive way and I think art therapy is absoloutely wonderful.

I'm doing just fine now a-days but i want this account to be giving context to my work and so here it is.

*mwah*

I’m not religious I don't often pray if ever.

But in December 2023 I was close to ending my life.

I walked for about an hour sat on a park bench at 3-5am(?), and prayed

“If I should stay, give me a sign.” A friend texted me saying they were worried because my messages sounded off.

A “friend” I’m no longer close with tried to support me during a really dark period in early 2024. I was recovering from addiction and self-harming a lot.

After one of my sadly very common breakdowns she texted me:

“I miss the old you. I miss when you were happy.”

Starting with this piece about a recent ex. If you know who I mean, keep it private.

She cheated on me twice that I can confirm, and I suspect more. She messed me up in ways I’m still unpacking, and for a long time I still loved her despite it.

I have thankfully moved on now. <3

I plan to make a thread of vent artworks sometime down the line its just a matter of courage.

A lot of it contains depictions of self harm scars or suicidal ideation.

I worry sharing that art without proper warning may upset someone or worse make someone scared for my safety.

Some of the art is nsfw.

No.

you just did but you can ask another thing.

I think the only 'nsfw' work I draw outside of commissions at this point is nude models and still life but that's for my art class and I don't consider it NSFW, I'm just drawing the human form for study.

out of all of these the last one is the one i hate the most lol, it's so incredibly obvious that I did not know how to draw guitars lol
