I Can't Express Myself Like I Want Because Of Fear. I Want To Loose This Fear And I Will.

Earth is a beautiful place

Fog above the forest in Aulanko, Finland

**The light in my eyes**

I am afraid -

not of the fall,

not of the silence,

that sometimes comes.

But of it,

that timid hands

touch my inside

and whisper: *"Don't be so bright. "*

But this light -

it is not a spark,

that can be extinguished,

not a fire,

that consumes.

It is a gentle glow,

that carries me,

a moonbeam,

that cuts through darkness.

Let me shine,

just as I am.

No less,

no more.

Help a queer artist leave their toxic household this pride month, maybe??

Hi y'all!! So my mom threatened to kick me out a couple weeks ago, and now I'm trying to move out on my own terms before that happens. I have friends a few states over who've offered to take me in, but before that happens I'd like to try getting a little more financially stable.

I am currently taking commissions, examples of which you can see below! I'm willing to draw OCs, fanart, DnD, furries, etc.

Or, if you'd like to support me on a more regular basis, I also have a patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DovelyDraws

For more info about commissions, pls check the link in my pinned post! And if you wouldn't mind, I'd really appreciate y'all reblogging this post for me. 🙏 Thank you!!

I choose not to respond to these messages.

Not responding is not disrespectful, an expression of my self-respect.

The guilt is not mine.

The burden I carry no longer belongs to me.

I want to heal, not fight.

And that's why I hear myself most where I am silent

I hope someone out there do that about me

**The fire within me**

I am afraid -

not of the darkness,

not of the storm

that breaks through the night.

But of it,

of strange hands coming,

quietly, uninvited,

and try

to extinguish the glow in my eyes -

this wild flickering,

that lets me breathe.

Let me burn,

even if it blinds you.

Let me blaze,

even if it frightens you.

Because I am not a spark,

that can be extinguished -

just a star,

that awakens in its own light.

Everyday is a new try 🙏
