Graphite on paper.
Virah series is about toxicity, narcissistic abuse, possession, obsession, insecurities, trust issues, abandonment trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety and just any form of hurt one can go through. It is a celebration of all the growth associated with those traumas and feeling all the feelings rather than numbing them in a dark corner thinking they would heal on their own only to have them burst out even worse. Depression, bipolarity, heartache is all so very real and does not make you any less normal or any less worthy of love. Abuse could be mental and physical and neither is less serious than the other. We might start to think ‘toxic’ is ‘the normal’ and you might slip out of your own sight but no one is worth resetting your values for, or losing your individuality for. You don’t have to fit into their prefect just to keep them; rest assured it isn’t love. You are all you have and all that’s going to be at the end of the day. Do not take what you could never do to others and don’t do to other what you can’t take yourself. Some of us stay in toxicity for long enough that we won’t even realize and it starts to flow inside of us. Guard your heart and don’t let it turn all rotten. Just because you see it around doesn’t mean it is right or normal. Be patient and trust the universe. Toxic is not normal, toxic is not a type of love language, love will never make you uncomfortable.
Your emotions are valid. You’re not overly sensitive for feeling how you do and do not let anyone say you over-react or over-think. Other people’s high threshold for abuse and other people’s submissiveness should not dictate how and how much you should feel.
