Originally drawn sometime in 2016

Back in 2016 for reasons I'm not going to get deep into, I had to go into therapy and during that time I was having a hard time expressing myself. It was suggested to me by my therapist to try drawing my emotions to help. A small brown notebook became my tool for that and this is one of the drawings from that book

Based on a dream I had as a kid, this was the first thing I drew for therapy. As you can imagine, it was quite the shock for my therapist (I'm not sure I'll ever forget the look on her face). As I said I was having difficulty expressing myself so this drawing was that idea itself, with the eyes being those emotions trying to push themselves out of their body or something. I'm better at expressing then I used to be, it's just unfortunate that it turns out that expressing your emotions is not the same thing as venting them. Oh well
