This was a rather new genre of personal art that left me feeling ways that I wasn't fully prepared for.
I'd largely categorize a lot of what I've made in past 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 didn't solve the problem, nor did it make the core feeling go away, but it helped me feel a lot less bad about feeling it at all in the first place. It gave 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 stared at that last panel for hours after I made it.
