So this has been a long time coming, though it's a lot harder than I thought!
I created Sae in the hospital, as some of you know. She was a big part of how I recovered at last from my long battle with mental illness, drug addiction, anorexia/bulimia and self-injury. When I wanted to starve, she starved, so I could eat. When I wanted to cut, she bled, so I could heal. She started out as bones, and grew and shrank according to my mood and health. And now it's time to let her go.
I've outgrown her, simple as that. I eat every day, properly. I work out in moderation. My skin remains smooth and unscarred. I have climbed out of the haze of drugs, a year now since I've been trapped there.
A new character is in development, one that reflects the new battles I have to fight. You have been good to Sae, and I'm glad you liked her. I did too.
I know this is stupidly overwrought and seems a little overdramatic, but this community and my character have been instrumental in my recovery from the hardest thing I've ever dealt with. So it's hard. But holding onto her and having her represent me is hard because it's no longer accurate, and she reminds me of the things I've overcome but am tempted every day to revisit.
Anyway! Sorry to talk your ear off. More ponies in the works.

She's quite beutiful, not overwrought at all.
Congrats on remaining sober. Life is so hard sometimes without drugs. But it seems the temtation to go too far with drugs is so real that one is indeed better off not having them. Good luck to you my friend. I am sure this little art persona will do well in the wild.

Saetia will be missed. I know she meant a lot to you, but I understand exactly why you've decided to go this route. I can understand exactly how hard this is. Trust me, I'm one to get attached to things, concepts, and ideas too. I feel like this is a majorly healthy step towards your long term recovery, and I'm proud I've been here to support you through everything that's come before, and I'm proud I'm here to support you through this as well.
I know you've got it in you Yena.
