I have about 5,300ish friends on myspace since I display my artwork on there(I can't get pics on my albums on here on mobile for some reason :/, but my avatar is a piece of mya art and the pic for the 'Christians Against SA!! group is as well)and I've been thinking about doing this for a while, but been too afraid of what people would think of me...anyway, I did it and I can't delete blogs on mobile which is the only internet I have, so it's stuck there which helps to keep me from taking it down out of fear. Anyway, I've gotten a few replies and messages from people who get it as well and so far nothing judgemental

Still slightly nervous about having it up, but I'm glad I could do it and that people even in the world of myspace understand

omg! you're so brave! and the blog is fine! i completely identify with your feelings and so will others. there is nothing to be afraid of! and your art is AMAZING! you are so talented. I wish I was creative but i would splash paint all over an easel and all you would get is a drawing that you would think would be by a 2 year old. lol.

Haha...thank you

I have to look at stuff to draw it well if that makes you feel any better....and I hope so. I'm really only worried about one person in particular reading it :/ Ok, and a tad nervous about the other 5,300ish people, but I doubt everyone will read it anyway....maybe I'll get up the courage for facebook next

Yes, a very brave thing to do! Congrats!

Breakfast0fChampions · 11-02-2009, 09:21 PM

This is wonderful.

You're not only helping others understand you but are paving the way for the rest of us SA sufferers to be understood, too.

Congrats to you!

Good job, and you should be proud. I hope it helps people that actually know you understand you more.

illlaymedown · 11-02-2009, 11:47 PM

God, I hope so cus I feel like I could throw up right now, but so far I've only gotten great responses. People I never would've known had it are messaging me and commenting on it.

I hope it helps

thepretender · 11-03-2009, 12:26 AM

eeeek, my ex is one of your 5000+ -_- I hope she doesn't read my comments.

... or maybe I do, maybe it would be good for her to know.

Rofl....you better!!! I'm being brave about it so don't leave me in the cold

I'm kidding, but still, I'm very glad you posted on it and that you are leaving them up. Besides, she's probably someone who never goes on my page. I have a ton of people like that

thepretender · 11-03-2009, 01:57 AM

I'm going to leave them, she probably wouldn't care anyways. :\

Prakas · 11-03-2009, 05:38 AM

Wow, you are very talented. Great artwork
