Drawing that was somehow healing.

Since a couple of weeks I am facing an episode of depression again since my past decided to step up in front of my door an BAMM hit me straight in the face, kicking me when I'm already down. It actually went better a few days ago, though I feel that since this weekend it's growing again -- I hope it won't get as worse as it was before but somehow I don't think so.
Guess things are looking good.

Anyway.
I was inspired to draw Acaris as a dragon because of a picture I saw in my Twitter feed. It was a chibi dragon and I wanted to grow Aca some wings as well (did some feather-ones first but I think those look nicer on her). She now really reminds me of my very first "real" Alter Ego, Dragonkid -- a brownish small dragon with stripes and horns. It was my screen name and character when I joined the internet back in 2000. Back then I was a cheerful kid, carefree and I felt strong on the inside. Oh, how have things changed since then. I somehow miss this times when bad marks and stupid arguments with friends at school were my worst problems I could think of.

Still, not everything turned out worse. No, it did not. For sure.
I have met so many lovely people on my path -- including my dear husband. Life let me struggle so often (too often for a life time, I really hope people won't go through that shit I/we did), life wasn't always good -- but fair in the end.
And even though it shatters me I grown stronger.

Things are good.

And I am so thankful I have someone I can _always_ rely and lean on and put my whole trust and faith in. As long as I can be at the side of this very person I will face hell again and again -- even my personal one.



Whohooo, soul striptease at FA!
But I feel better now. Thanks for reading, my dear friends.
