Oh wow, this is deep. I was going through this hardcore a few months back. It's hella difficult for sure, but for anyone out there going through this, you are not a "stain on the fabric of time." You ARE loved and you ARE worth something.

The feels are real.

Thank you so much for this opportunity, Luthien. I don't think I can fully express how thankful I am for your patience, thoughtfulness, and overall commitment. You're one of the best artists I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, let along commissioning. :)

No problem at all, you were a joy to work with and I appreciated you being quick to give me responses while I was working, it helped a lot! n_n

Depression is real, and it doesn't go away just because someone says, "You'll be okay." Not when you're alone and your thoughts run in circles. But if that one will stand with you so you can vent, cry on their shoulder, and hug. You can find it in yourself to go on for another day. They may not be able to understand what you're going through, but the presence of another is the breath of hope.

Very well put. While I can't claim to "know how it feels" when it comes to things like this, I can certainly lend a sympathetic ear and a shoulder to cry on if needed. You don't necessarily have to experience something yourself to have compassion for others who go through it.

This hits way too close to home.

This really is such a spot on description of dysphoria. It's not just depression, it's a different brand of depression that us trans* people deal with. It doesn't matter how far along one is, that shadow never really leaves

Those feelings are enough to get me motivated to get up and hug someone. I know how those feelings can be. I was in the same situation before. This is before I met my gf, of course. So do you need a hug from this grizzly bear, Danni?

Dang, the feels and how close to home they hit.

Great piece ^^

Wow...that text describes me to a T, especially the last sentence.

I know that feeling some days. An extremely touching piece.
