Image- a more finished sketch of Lo with tentacles for hair. Lettering says “Mermaid friend” in the top left.
I wanted to finish this, even though it’s only really rough, and I did it. I might not be the most “smartest” or cultural or prettiest or talented person on earth, but I do what I like and what I like is doodling and drawing things. Things are really hard for me right now and stuff I could once do with relative ease are now incredibly difficult. My hands shake, my brain fogs up and my body is in pain. It makes me incredibly frustrated and depressed that I can not do a lot of these things any more, and I have to abandon so many things because I don’t have the strength to finish things to my satisfaction.
I drew this drawing. It may not be as good as things I’ve drawn before, or it may not be as good as proper art, but I drew this drawing and if people think I’m an idiot or a basket case or untalented, they can stew in their own opinion. Because I sure as hell have better things to do than piss all over other people, especially sick people.
(Hi Lo, I hope you don’t mind me using your lovely personal face for this drawing. It was a great inspiration.)
