I am free as my hair (Patreon)

Drew this out of depression, once I discovered one of my biggest flaws that I blindly ignored. My self-saboteur. Finally took some courage to draw my character, finally took some courage to continue to be brave and fight for me and only me.
For context, the last few days while I was in bed due to food intoxication, I thought when in middle school my life was supposed to end after a chat with a friend from back then. Problems I had back then self-esteem with my family not liking how I concerned their belief in their hope to be catholic and to develop as a man of goodwill and values. Then it took me back to my fantasies of becoming a pop star, so I can meet my idol Lady Gaga which pulled me together when I was the most broken. Many people made fun of me for following her but whenever I hear BTW's album I imagine holding my 13yr old self to protect and thank him because he took the decision to keep strong and go on, gain a family to give and receive the understanding he needed, mostly love.
