Talking through trauma and PTSD

Running

Re: Running

@rav3n my social worker is in the same area so I normally have an appointment with her afterwards and she likes seeing my art and learning what it reflects for me

@avant-garde that sounds so nice, hope your art sesh and chat with her goes well! 

 

is this the heart one where you've painted the whitewash with gold? or am i confusing it with a different piece. either way, what inspired this piece??

Re: Running

@rav3n lilac tinted white wash with gold heart and 45 little hearts to represent the 45 little ones I lost

Re: Running

that's a really beautiful way of symbolising and honouring them @avant-garde i'm sorry you've experience such pain. and i really admire the way you express yourself through art.

 

sending you gentle hugs.

Re: Running

@rav3n I like that I don't get met with disbelief at the amount here, some find it hard to believe

Re: Running

@avant-garde i like that about this space too. never doubted your truth for a second.

 

i think when people find something 'unbelievable' it tends to comes from a place of fear, guilt and/or emotional immaturity. they're just not ready to face reality. but whether they're ready or not, it doesn't change the truth.

Re: Running

oh nooo did i say something upsetting? @avant-garde 

Re: Running

@rav3n no, the place where I do my art didn't tell me they were opening an hour later and left me sitting there for 40 minutes crying... what the ****, I hate their lack of communication sometimes! I asked and asked and asked last week and they didn't beeping tell me!!!
