Oh, and here are some other deviations of mine you might be interested in about struggling with depression as well as hope and courage to go on.

This is the first 2 layered thing I've done. I actually did it on Picnik lol. Took about 3 hours to do, definitely was a challenge for me, but I like the way it turned out.

This is a very stunning piece. It was really creative of the artist to use something as everyday as scrabble letters and her boundless imagination to create something pure. She used the sky as a backdrop even though it's layered which shows hope and a passion to raise above what she's going through even though it's the least easy thing there is to do. Underlining the AM shows perseverance in her strength, the inner desire not to give up whether it is for herself and for others that she is doing it, she IS strong. She fights daily just to get through the next few moments and she achieves it.
This is a highly emotive piece of work. Well planned and executed with a lot of time spent on the design and execution. Well presented and titled and I know it will bring strength and perseverance to others who see it knowing from her other work and what she is going through and that they are not alone in their own daily struggles no matter how slight or severe they might be.
Stunning, thought provoking work.

strong, evokes in my now: the flexibility to use whatever I can to create something good; and something can be better than I expected!

Thanks for sharing something great with your idea!

I love that you're helping people and giving them hope with your photos

_{Thank you, that means a lot (: It's kind of nerve-wracking to show the world your raw emotions but helping people and letting them know they're not alone means more than anything to me (:}
