An ode to all the nightmares and sleepless nights.....

--------------------

This is a remake of an old piece back in 2006 that I don't have anymore. A few years ago, I started to have an increasing string of nightmares from education-related stress, social expectations and pressure to make "proper" plans for a "successful" future. My health was at its worst. All this when I just 16. I had also found out about dA. The nightmares carried on for quite a bit until I was only a few months from graduating and entering college.

One day I found an old sketchbook that I didn't fill-up and I started to draw anything that came to mind. They were mostly cryptic images of foliage, angel statues, dead trees, barren landscapes, faceless marionettes, and the element of fire. The nightmares stopped when I started drawing those sketches. Ever since then, after I sorted out things as I wanted them to be, I stopped drawing them too. I still do it for fun (see my 2010 ID) but not as a coping mechanism anymore.

When I saw the dead tree stock, I immediately thought back to that time. The time when I felt like a girl who woke up alone and in the middle of nowhere, wondering where to go next.

Thanks for viewing. :)
