I like your glasses very much in this pic, and yes negativity is horrible, I would have stopped drawing furry art in school if I gave into the teasing.

Thank you so much! And it's so true, so many people just won't grow up.

ugh and I just noticed the TooL shirt, mad props <3 luv it!

THISSSSS.

Thisthisthis. I had to learn this the hard way with so many people I kept trying to keep close to me :/ not worth it one bit.
Also tiger <3 Releasing your inner feline is always a good thing!

I realized some stuff lately.... my totem is half dog half cat, with a tiny bit of rodent thrown in there. So there's a lot of cat in me. I feel the cat is more of a loner than the dog, and that's why I felt like drawing her. I've made so many mistakes with being so nice to people that all they did was walk all over me and use me. I've since learned my lessons. I'm sorry you had to go through the same thing, but I am glad you have come out of it stronger. <3

Mine was read to be caribou and rabbit, which I why I try to express through them as often as possible!
No one deserves that, in any shape or form :c Especially having to loose a friend in the process, but in the end it's healthier, and there will always be good out there to fill your life back up with postitivity :3

Thank you! I'm working on building it up.

Hell, yeah!!!

Thank you!! I know you get it. *hugs*

Awwww Kelly thank you SO much! You know exactly what I'm referring too so it makes me even more happy to hear you say this. I am a tiger raaaarrr!!! <33

We can talk more in private if you want, you are probably thinking of the right person. She was my best friend and I didn't realize how much I was being walked all over until I heard it from so many different perspectives and people. It was a hard slap of reality to the face and it made me so so sad, but I finally realized I have to stand up for myself. In order to grow I can't be surrounded by toxic people. You are so right. I am sorry you are going through something similar to this - but Aryn, stand up for yourself. You are a good, wonderful, and incredibly kind hearted person that doesn't deserve to be treated that badly. I tried the gifts, tried the appeasing part, and of course there are good times you always reflect on and try to ignore the bad... but don't let them get you down. You are stronger now and even though it hurts, I've found it's better for your life in the end. My life has been so much better since I finally stood up for myself, and I hope the same can happen for you <3

Oh, I'm so sorry..... :( And yes- I think it would be cathartic to both of us.... Ahhhh yeah, I kind of can relate to you on that one... Although I did fuck up, and sort of let my ex put ideas into my head that weren't true, as well... >:/ Asshole.... I agree- we both need to stand up for ourselves. I am so , so proud of you for doing that. <3 Not enough people in the world respect themselves, and I realized that in not respecting myself, sometimes I disrespected others as well.... Thank you so much..;3; I feel the same way with you- I mean, we all lose our temper- we all fuck up. We are all human... I'm really sorry hun...:c Awww, I'm glad to hear that!!! :) Well, I admit after standing up to my store and quitting, I feel a lot better- and I feel guilty because of the people there that I like, but I sincerely in my gut feel that I made the right decision. Take care of yourself hon. <3
