I read all the text, it certainly didn't scare me off. It was nice of you to give us a little glimpse
Β into your personal life and I enjoyed seeing how much more colourful and bright your artwork
has become over time, it shows how much you were trying to be happy and overcome your
depression. As someone else who also has clinical depression and generalized anxiety disorder
and who was also bullied your improvement meme really rang true to me and I'm so glad
you shared it because it's also nice to know someone else is out there whose going through
tough things too. Good luck and best wishes to you from me for 2014! You'll do great.

Wow such a lovely comment, thank you! ^^
The colour thing is interesting as my drawings before I became serious (pre-2005) were all pretty colourful too. I think as a teen I sort of reveled in my misery XD I was almost proud of it, but then as I started to feel like I didn't want to be that way... it's like you say, I was trying to be happy - and I feel that surrounding oneself in pleasant things can't be a bad thing. My art is colourful, and so is my collection of toys on the shelves beside me XDΒ I actually realised that when I had a wallpaper on my PC that was dark in colour - even if the image itself was happy or something I liked - I'd generally feel more down. Colours are good, for sure <3
I'm glad that seeing my journey has made you feel a little better~
And good luck to you too! Thank you for watching me. I hope that I can show you lots of good art this year!
