The Enclosed Heart (Patreon)

Well good evening my dears! Gasp, can you believe it?! A sketch has made it from the cutting room floor! For those of you familiar with when this was made, I was having a rather consuming ordeal of depression and loneliness. Sometimes when I feel that sense of dread I have the impulse to want and shut down, enclose myself and be worlds away from here. However that kind of thinking..can be dangerous.

Some people tell me they have grey hearts and things that are broken just like mine. After awhile they start to believe they don't feel that much these days because it never truly was in them. For these souls I've always believed the contrary. They felt so much they were afraid it would hurt them, and maybe it did. So they wind up in the garden with the others growing lost and following a direction until wherever they came from is a shadow of a memory.

Happiness always finds ourselves eventually. In small and quiet ways just like hope. The very nature of our anger and depression serves under the desire for the something that is missing in ourselves, and there are things that listen upon those feelings. Whispers that keep us going. If your heart has been broken and you're still here, you're stronger than you might think... and you're among more friends than you know. The worst pains connect you to us as much your greatest triumphs.
