Happy Thursday

"This is a piece I made on photoshop back in 2021 to reflect the moment in my life where I found the courage to walk away from a toxic relationship. I drew myself as a puppet on a string because I was always under my ex's control. The strings are coming down to represent cutting my ties with him. The words "I Can't Do This Anymore" is written on my chest, since I those are the words said when I broke up with my ex. Although this looks very dark on the surface, it was the first step I took in emotionally detoxifying myself."

-Martha
