Cocoon - by Jeszika Le VyeDigital PaintingWebsite: Jeszika.comMy Month of Love piece for the theme: Metamorphosis.When injured, there is a choice of whether we want to heal. Do we drown ourselves under the pain, become a creature of wounds and wounding? Or do we regrow damaged parts, like an octopus regrowing limbs? As a cutter for over 15 years, the hardest part of stopping was changing how I saw myself. For all those years, and even sometimes now, I felt that without the cuts, I didn’t look like myself. It felt as if I had on a stranger’s skin and face. To be willing to stop cutting, I had to be willing to see myself as a new person that grew from that skin; that grew from those wounds into something new. -- source link
