Featuring: Me (the bear) hugging Erathena (the "deer")
This was a bit of a vent piece I did a while ago, but more in a positive way!

What this drawing shows is, that in the end, it really doesn't matter what random people think of you. There are so many people who are hateful for no reason, trying to take the light from you just to be cruel. Never let them dim your light. You need to do what you do for yourself & nobody else. You come first. If you're happy, that's all that matters! And there are countless more people who love you for who you are than the few who decide to hate you & attack you for it. Instead of focusing on the darkness, turn all your attention to your own brightness! Then no matter how dark it is around you, it won't have any control over you. That's the key to freedom!

-Something small I wrote down for me specifically to remember (and of course, for anyone who finds this useful!)
Also, go give your OCs a hug! They deserve it.
