#7years

For the longest time, I'd go back and forth in my mind.

Trying to understand what it was that I did wrong.

You made me out to be a villian when the villian was you all along.

I spoke the truth, trying to understand it.

Every word that came out made me feel like shit.

I didn't want anyone to think of you badly.

But the way you made me feel was oh so sadly.

You've told me time and time again you'd never speak ill on my name.

But what you don't know is I've heard all the rumors and it just wasn't the same.

When I spoke about you, I told my part that I played.

I held myself accountable when I knew I shouldn't have stayed.

Nothing was ever your fault, because you were the one who was betrayed.

Ah, yes. You were and I admit to that.

But did you ever look at what you did that made me feel the same?

I spent years, 7 long years trying to put back the pieces you took.

Every new relationship i entered left me shook.

Were they going to treat me just the same as you?

Move on to someone/thing better when they found out I was just a fool?

You moved on so gracefully with the one I didn't have to worry about.

Every chance I tried to move on but I'd cry and cry because you're the one I never wanted to live without.

I loved you from the day I met you, I never wanted anyone more.

You played with my heart for years until you decided I was what you could adore.

You told me it was because my hair was longer and I'd become more your type.

We spent 2 years together, my feelings getting stronger until you said sike.

I wasn't what you wanted, you just loved how much I loved you.

Till someone better came along and you tore my heart in two.

You say it was me who betrayed you, but was it I who betrayed you first?

When you were the one who threw my heart in the dirt.

I saw the way you'd talk about her, your face would light up.

It left me feeling broken and stuck.

Should I hold on to someone who no longer wanted me?

That's just selfish, when I knew exactly where it was you wanted to be.

You cried to me, saying you didn't want it to end.

But I knew from the start it would've been better off just staying your friend.

I saw the potential of you and I, hoped it could be made into reality.

I can see now you and I were never truly meant to be.

I'll love you forever unconditionally.

I must do it from afar

Being in your life will rip me apart.

I'd just started putting the pieces back together after 7 long years.

But I saw you in my dreams and you met me with tears.

I realize you can care for some one from a distance.

Doesn't me you have to be all up in their business.

I wish you well and hope you get where you need to in life.

I know now I was never the one meant to be your wife.

I always loved you more and I used to think that made me weak.

I know now it's the best thing about me.

You've helped me realize who it is I'm meant to be.

I thank you for all the lessons and being my one first true love.

But I must fly away now like a mourning dove.

I was never yours and you were never mine.

Sometimes I wish we could turn back time.

To the first time I met you with what I know now.

I'd walk away and leave that town.

I'll love you forever.

And maybe in the next life will meet again and all will be well.

I won't fall so deeply and make myself look like a clown.

I just wanted to say thank you, but this is goodbye, for now.

Un viaje introspectivo sobre el paso del tiempo, los sueños y las relaciones que definen nuestras vidas.

This October marks the 7th year since I have started doing digital art back in 2017. A lot happened during all this years, the world changed, my personal life changed. I never imagined when my hubby gifted me back in 2017 my first pen tablet what would become of it. i am glad i could find back to art, my childhoof passion that was lost for so many years- i found back to you. All I want to do in this life is painting, i will never stop, no matter the circumstances, that is for sure. Excited to see my progress over the next years. Also a huge thank you to my supporters, especially those who gave me the first encouraging words back in 2017 when all i could paint where some Yoshis :D Also a huge thanks to @walfeg who has been an amazing mentor back in 2018, without you I would never have made a living out of my art. thank you Sensei :)

The Year was 2017, After daydreaming since 2012, I decided to share my idea with the world through a webcomic. I didn't have any experience or knowledge of the rules of comics, nor did I have an idea about the basics of anatomy or perspective. Fonts were unharmonised, things were drawn with little to no references, and everything was off. I didn't care; I just wanted to draw. I was in a phase where I drew everything fast, but it wasn't good, and I managed to finish the prologue. The story was only finished till that part, and I kept making it up as I went along. I took a little break from 2018 to 2020 due to academics being my main priority, and in 2020, I was ready to start posting the first chapter. My brain thought midway through the second page and said, why not draw out the entire chapter and then post it all at once so people would have much to read? And it was another waiting game.

In 2023, while in my final years at college, my laptop's hard drive decided to take a final round of applause and took everything down with it, unfortunately, including any progress I had made on my webcomic. I was dumb and didn't truly appreciate the backups until then. There was no point in crying over spilt milk; the damage had been done.

The year is 2024,

I've been mostly absent from the drawing scene after Last Year's Comic-Con due to burnout and working on other projects. Still, I've also taken a crack at redoing Summer Intersection again, with the intention of having it both as a webcomic and (hopefully crossing this off the bucket list) a graphic novel.

While the first version makes me want to claw my eyes out, it helps me realise the improvements I managed to achieve these 7 years.

I cannot promise that I'll finish it all ASAP. This can take me years, but I hope this is a project I hope to see to the very end.
