comic title: "bear hug"

I generally don’t like making vent comics, and I was trying something new with the style here. Can’t say it turned out amazing but everything is a stepping stone I guess.

My relationship with art is a complicated one, but God do I want it to work.

These lyrics come from "Ever fallen in love" by Pete Yorn.

Was planning on coloring this but didn’t really have the patience for it

Anyway, I see a lot of posts and also comics going on and on about how to ignore your intrusive thoughts, how dismiss them with a chuckle, how to ‘bash your depression’ or ‘past you’ in the ground, how to be ashamed of it, and... I don’t know. They may be helpful for other people, but for individuals with trauma - like me -  our intrusive thoughts, our mean and bad and selfish thoughts that we would never say or act upon very often are us. They’re us at the time of our trauma. And I don’t want to punch something like that in the face and ignore it by making it an annoying backseat driver. I don’t want to be that violent.

Until very recently I was thinking that on some level I deserved what happened, because I once was a horrible little kid, one of those go-along types that often followed the loudest (and meanest) children because I wanted to desperately belong, though I never really did.

I know now how mean that was, of course. And I strive to be better than that, obviously. But I...still didn’t deserve what happened just because I was a stupid little kid like everyone else.

That moment of vulnerability that let everything spiral out of control, wasn’t deserved, or my fault. And it’s not my fault that the part of me that was so horribly hurt still is in some way a child, and cries for comfort from the people it trusts - and starts shrieking when it doesn’t instantly get said comfort. 

This is the fault of those that caused my trauma.

And it’s going to be difficult, but I guess if I ever want to move forward - to be able to talk about it without instantly breaking into tears - I’ll have to make it my new years resolution: To forgive myself for the fact that I was just a kid, for not knowing any better, for not having any ability to prevent what happened.

And I guess what I’m trying to say in sharing this, in some form, we should all forgive our trauma-originated thoughts and our younger selves. 

We were just kids. And it wasn’t our fault.

Tw. Domestic abuse, allusion to suicide attempts, and panic attacks.

I don’t know if I made the right decision but I did what I thought was right. A ventcomic.
