This admittedly is a rather new genre of personal art that has left me feeling ways that I honestly don't think I was fully prepared for.

I'd largely categorize a lot of what I've made in recent months as "vent" art. While I try to create things in ways that conveyed my feelings clearly, and that's often a challenge - they're still ultimately meant to express and share to get those feelings out of my system. This is focused on accepting it within myself.

It hasn't solved the problem, nor has it made the core feeling go away, but I certainly feel a lot less bad about feeling it at all in the first place. It's given way to a whole slew of new thoughts and emotions that were being held back by my refusal to accept this as an okay way to feel, but needless to say, that's a pretty big step in the right direction.

I've stared at that last panel for hours since I made this just yesterday.
