6 New Drawings

The first new drawing is simply about my kitty Rory and how darn cute he is...

***
The rest of these drawings are about relationships.
They are in chronological order, a couple drawings down is after when Kurt and I broke up last week...

 
Understanding us is like putting together a puzzle when you don't know what the picture is, or even if the pieces will fit together at all. You wonder why some things are so complicated.


I guess this is my, "I want us to move forward together but I'm tired of waiting for you to catch up to me" drawing.  It's my desire for us to be on the same happy healthy page, and wishing I could help you climb up to me.


This was the first drawing after the break up.  It sucks and it's sad, but thankfully there is no bitterness or anger. The text in the tears says, "I know it's for the best..."


There is no bad guy in this situation. If anything, I am angry with your problems that interfered with you being able to just be happy with me. I love you, but I hate hate hate your depression.


 I should have admitted to you earlier how your suicidal tendencies have taken an emotional toll on me, but I really thought I could handle it. So I'm carrying a speech bubble, but I left your words out since that's private.

***
Soooo, these are all the drawings about this for now. There will be more.

Thank you Kurt for allowing me to share very personal aspects of our romance publicly through my drawings. That takes a lot of trust and courage, so please know how grateful I am. I've been very lucky to have you as a source of love and inspiration.

Sorry to hear that. Nicely externalised though.

Powerful work there.

I'm glad you can draw to work out some of those feelings. It was really nice that you both shared those images with us as well. It's something a lot of people can relate to.

Stay strong :)
