my body may burn but this skin is forever

I’m not quite sure when you sent this ask, it might of been yesterday or months ago, but I wanted to say- thank you very, very much, and I see you. It’s true I haven’t posted on this blog in quite a long time, this is the first time I’ve actually logged into this account in 2 years. And it *is* because I am doing better, which is something I never thought I could ever say and actually mean it. I graduated from 4 years of therapy a little under a year ago! Woohoo!!!  I have also changed a ridiculous amount, identity wise. And through rigorous self-work, an unbelievable support system and constant communication and honesty, I have been able to properly process my trauma and have done a lot of healing. This blog was part of my healing, too. The art I made was directly inspired by the angry, lonely, scared emotions that had welt up inside me and having this outlet was a godsend. It also was so healing to see thousands of people who could relate to it, and find comfort in it. I am so, so glad I was able to help people feel less alone, because they made me feel less alone, too. I felt heard and understood in a time where I had never felt so alone and I am forever grateful. Thank you very much for sending me this ask, and I hope you are doing well my friend. Don’t forget that healing isn’t a linear process. There will be ups and downs and times where you feel like all the progress you’ve made is shit, but it isn’t. Progress is progress is progress, and even I still have work I need to do. You are loved and you are doing the best you can, and that is all that matters. Cheers, my dear! <3
