Description

An adult will forget such things when said to a child, but to that child, it becomes part of their brain permanently, during a developmental period where they'll believe anything about themselves, no matter what.

Apparently vent_art is a tag! I'm not gonna use it often at all but yay, cool!

Some context behind this piece

This is vent art surrounding my own childhood abuse trauma - I actually don't have a vomit fetish (surprisingly considering there's almost nothing that isn't at least somewhat hot to me these days) but often use vomit in personal pieces to symbolize feelings like saying/admitting things you're ashamed of, or being unable to stop yourself from showing outward signs of mental illness.
I'm a naturally talkative, emotionally open and sociable person (you could even say I'm an extrovert) but I have core childhood trauma which taught me that everything I say is annoying, that I talk too much, that my jokes aren't funny, that I always say hurtful things, etc. So a core part of my personality makes me think everyone hates me - fun!

I was proud of this and someone said it looks good on its own separate from being vent art so I decided to post it here without removing the thought bubbles/text because of the composition looking fine the way it is.

Also please don't worry about me, I'm in therapy for my PTSD and I'm getting more healthy all the time. I sadly had a flashback while I took a shower this evening and then I drew this to process the feelings and calm down, and now I feel way better and have plans to play Palworld with my friend!

PS: This is alluding to why I have stepfather_(lore) blacklisted!

    God if that's not a massive part of my childhood trauma too... nice to know I'm not the only one, and that I'm not the only one to overcome it. Keep going man, keep doing your best every day!~
