I'm so happy you are starting to include typography into your artworks, it's completing them so perfectly!! <333
And shiiiit, and I really, really need this here right now!
Just yesterday, I was talking with a longtime friend (who's also a shaman) about my self-esteem issues, the trouble of me not knowing how to... I don't know, receive love? Receive healing? My friend said, on a spiritual energy level, that I am like a wild/feral cat that you wanna try to pet and love and heal, but all I do is hiss and bite you if you attempt to, because I'm afraid of new things as they might be deadly enemies, haha.
I've known nothing but neglect, betrayal, and abuse for too long, so naturally I expect anything to become one of those things sooner or later. Especially things that appear nice at first. Honestly, I also expect my longtime friend to ditch me one day, as soon as I become boring to her, because that's just my whole life experience. For me, everything comes and goes, so it's hard to hold on to anything, even hope.
So really, this picture describes the feeling so well! There are loving hands, but a mistrusting, aggressive animal facing them. I barely let nice people love me, and I especially barely let even myself love me. I know it's unhealthy, but it's the truth.
