Title: Something fun
Post by: Stillost on July 29, 2024, 03:04:36 PM
So, I'm new here, and I saw the bricks falling emoji for the first time. It really spoke to me. I drew this little cartoon and thought someone else might appreciate or enjoy. Lots of things to unpack in it for me.

First thing that came to my mind seeing your cartoon was something Dr Gabor Mate often says and it´s that by learning how to isolate ourselves from the pain and the suffering that would be unbearable for us, we unfortunately can´t help but cut off all the emotions and feelings, not only the "bad" ones. That´s just how it works, in a kind of all or nothing way.
Thanks for taking the time creating and posting this.  :)

Nice one, Stillost, crawling from under this pile of bricks.

It's a very relatable conundrum. Thanks for sharing Stillost, I appreciate it.

Wow.

I feel it. The bricks. The sunshine with the question mark. I think you really tapped into some genuine feelings when you drew this.
