"I’ve always had this sense that what I say is not important so I kept most things to myself." You are breaking that taboo along with so many others, and it is so healing for us all. What a powerful piece and beautiful, painful (brutiful) story.

Thank you. We have these beliefs that were put there by believing what others say. You taught me that it’s someone else’s voice saying that to us, which is a great distinction as we just think it is reality. I love the word ‘Brutiful’ ❤️

Sounds like a tough time, mate. Thanks for sharing and great to see the experience get turned into a piece of art at the end of it.

Thanks for your kind words, it was tough but we are all more resilient than we realise. Yes, a lot of my art was created this way, it’s very therapeutic!
