Edit: July 27, 2011
I updated with more glow to make it look more realistic.

Dedicated to Simona for inspiring me and for being the best online friend I've ever had, who I never meant to cause any trouble for and I'm so sorry.

Also dedicated to Ellie who I also sincerely apologize to for the trouble I've caused.

Please read:

I can't believe how long it's been since I've uploaded a picture. I also can't believe I was up after 4 AM this morning working on this picture. LOL! But I had this spur of the moment idea and just kept going until I was done. I would have submitted this earlier but I desperately needed sleep.

I want to say to everyone that I'm really sorry for my lack of comments or even being on here lately. I just haven't been on too much lately and I have so many messages to go through and I apologize to everyone for not acknowledging things more. So many things have been going on in my life and I have also been wanting to finish this Phantom picture I wrote about in my journal but I'm not sure when it will be done. This picture wasn't planned. But I will be looking at all my friends' works and messages as soon as I can. Please don't think I've forgotten all of you. I've just been going through a really hard time in my personal life.

This shows a princess who is lonely and if you look, I put a heart shaped mirror and it's cracked which I made to have the most emphasis on because of the representation of a broken heart. A lot of symbolism is in this. I love cats and used to have a cat years ago and really miss him and sometimes I feel a cat is a better companion than a man (I would love to have both of course) and so I wanted to have a cat in it. There's gusts of wind coming through and I got creative and put some tree roots in a few places if you look. This just represents a few things and while I was working on this, a song came to my mind that I feel really goes with this picture. If you've already heard this song and/or know the lyrics, please humor me and read the lyrics because it goes along with this picture.

"Looking In" by Mariah Carey:

You look at me and see the girl
Who lives inside the golden world
But don't believe
That's all there is to see
You'll never know the real me

She smiles through a thousand tears
And harbors adolescent fears
She dreams of all
That she can never be
She waits in insecurity
And hides herself inside of me

Don't say she takes it all for granted
I'm well aware of all I have
Don't say that I am disenchanted
Please understand

It seems as though I've always been
Somebody outside looking in
Well here I am for all of them to bleed (I always heard it as "glee" but when I look up the lyrics, it's not but it sounds like "glee" to me which makes much more sense than "bleed")
But they can't take my heart from me
And they can't bring me to my knees
They'll never know the real me.

If you haven't heard this song, please listen to it. It's a very emotional and beautiful song. [link]
