TW in a caption!Since I’m anonymous on Artfol, it has always served as my diary and a tool for venting. I will use it this time as well. You have no obligation to keep reading, but I feel like I need to finally get this off my chest—maybe someone else needs to hear it too.
Recently, I took a big step and finally found the words to name things as they are. I am a victim of a gr00mer. I was s. exploited. It took me years to understand that what happened was not my fault and that an adult should always know better—they are responsible for their actions.
I am writing this for myself, but maybe someone else needs to hear it too: It is not your fault. When you're growing up, your brain isn't fully capable of assessing situations correctly. You deserve to forgive yourself. Take care of yourself.
I have always processed difficult emotions through drawing. I hope I haven’t burdened anyone with such a heavy topic.Mar 11, 2025

I'm really sorry for what happened to you. I hope writing this down does help the healing process 
And there weren't any truer words. It is never the victims fault.
I like the colour scheme. It's so shiny and fancy

•I'm so sorry they did that to you you're not alone, I know just how awful it feels and how much guilt you carry for something that's not your fault at all. I hope you're able to heal from it and leave the guilt in the past 
also, this art is just beautiful, I adore the colours and the sketchy look
