"I used to lie awake and let you occupy my mind
I used to put you first and always leave myself behind
And I’ll admit you got real close but I’ll be sleeping fine tonight
Sorry, I don’t mean to disappoint you
You didn’t ruin my life"
- "Ruin My Life" by Simple Plan
Breaking away from the silhouette as this series becomes more personal, but the feelings still stand.
Whether it be a relationship, mental health, or situation or incident, there's always something there that weighs on us, even if it's minor and can't see it. Sometimes though, we CAN see it, we CAN feel it, and it eats away at you. But, as with all things on the road to recovery, it gets better, you face those thoughts, and overcome the parts of yourself you never thought possible.
This picture is special to me, as it's the current mirror to an old inktober 2017 piece. I felt trapped in my own head, unable to shake the constant bombardment of worry, self judgement, and many other thoughts. That same picture started my mental health journey, and I now feel like I've crossed out the last of those thoughts. I didn't let them ruin my life.
