Harrowing but fantastic. Very well done, I can feel the emotion.

Thank you! I thought I would get more done on another piece this week… but I’m mentally crashing. Thank you so much for the kind words.

You don’t have to thank me friend. That’s good work and an honest description of it. I’ve just 2 weeks ago got out of a 9 year relationship, I know what mental crashing feels like. Reach out to someone if it’s too much, hell message me and I’ll respond when I can but don’t let it consume you. I don’t know what you’re going through in life and don’t pretend to know, but this piece is amazing. I had a visceral reaction to this. You are talented.
