The only thing worse than feeling sad is feeling alone and rejected, discarded and renounced by those closest to you. It can lead to multiple problems and long-lasting issues with irreversible effects that can leave a gaping hole in the world. The best cure? A cuddle.
How does this not have a single comment? Well, it does now.
Good story. You really made me feel for the characters. I almost cried a little, which is rare, so well done.
Damn...this story hits hard, I'm glad I found it. You've described in great deal almost the exact situation I've found myself in for many years now (minus the suicidal thoughts), right down to being a spiritually and emotionally-starved artist. It feels good to have someone be able to put into words what I've struggled to even rationalize into basic thought; the brain truly can be a noisy and colourful flurry of creative insanity at times, can't it?
Well done, my friend, I truly hope things get better.
