Thank you so much. I can’t really draw faces to express emotions so I try to use the human body/form to express them. Sounds intriguing right? But nope, the truth is so far from that, basically I’m not a real artist, I’ve had no training and I just wanted, just like my pieces something that I could call my own and I did my best, I could have corrected them in photoshop ( I use affinity 2) but I left the messy lines and scribbles in there cuz that’s my truth. Imperfections and all. Thanks for the kind words, it is much appreciated-Shain

Thanks again Emily for the kindness you have shown me. I’m just happy some people actually like it. Especially when I’m running a high fever.

I almost stopped reading at the beginning. I'm so thankful I didn't. What a beautiful description of that feeling of invisibility while feeling overly exposed. If I got it wrong, know it was right for me at the right time.

Thank you so much for not stopping. I appreciate you so much Dennis. I’m down with a fever and I am making my posts for my series every Monday so I was struggling to stay up. Your words hit me. I hope you did relate to it. Thank you so much for reading my piece and not giving up on me. Means a lot. Now I’m headed back to sleep. Hopefully I’ll recover enough to get to work tomorrow. Thanks again. -Shain

Sometimes the ache is physical, like a ripple... A wave... Of emotion cursing through your blood and veins.
