I have held this artwork for so long because I truly love this work so much. But it is time for me to let it go, I have moved on from the person I once was and I am different now. However, when I made this artwork, I didn’t know that I had CPTSD, I was constantly struggling with my interpersonal relationships and I was disassociating.

I was in love with someone, but I couldn’t love myself and the relationship crumbled. It was extremely heartbreaking, I couldn’t forgive myself at the time for letting that relationship end. He tried his hardest to be with me, but I was incredibly difficult to love at the time. A part of me died when he left me, I realised I had to be by myself, no one could save me, I had to start healing before I could find my true love.
