RE: Art and My Current Mental State

Powerful words and imagery.
Self-portrait as a "virus scan" - something I'd never considered but so true.
Please don't take this the wrong way because it is a compliment... but there is a character in the "Dark Tower" series by Stephen King, "Detta Walker" who has had torment from her past split her into multiple persons, not just multiple personalities, multiple individuals who fight for control of the same body, who at first are in constant strife with one another, but then as their quest continues, come together to form a team and become the strongest, fiercest, and most inspiring character in the book.
Your dialogue made me think of her.
Very much a fan of yours, anxious to see more.

Oh wow! I'm not surprised that I reminded you of that character because to be honest I also thought I had someone in me to accompany me too! Like my enemy who looks like me, who wants to bring me down but after my therapy I've decided to befriend her and use that as a strength.. And use art to "introduce her" to the world and that I am actually doing my best to make myself better. Don't worry about me having to deal with multiple personalities in the future lol I am also aware of me having the chance to develop it if I keep on thinking that I am not alone. But always assure myself that this is just going to be a symbolic part of my work. ;)
