I made this comic for her. Maybe it can help you. Helped me.

She of course didn't acknowledge it, but it still felt good making this.

Real love is commitment, and will prove itself in how it perseveres. Love is not a fantasy or a high.

Hi flamingspiral,

This must have taken a while!  I find creative activities are incredibly soothing and allowing myself to simply focus on a task that I become absorbed in is very mindful in that I am fully in the present.  How did you feel when you were creating this and did you find it cathartic to get your thoughts and feelings out in this way?  I'm sorry to hear that it didn't get a response, however you have given yourself an opportunity to get things out there, which I hope at least gave you some release.

Love and light x

I definitely found it to be therapeutic and relieving. Being able to take pain and turn it into something creative is something I would recommend to anyone. It feels good knowing that I can give people something to look at and interpret, and hopefully find their own insight in. It makes me feel that all the grief I went through was not for nothing.

Thank you Harley Quinn

I'm glad to hear this.  One of the things I'm doing on my own journey is taking art classes and I'm working on a project the last few weeks that has been inside of me as a concept for a lot of years.  It feels great to express it and see it start to come to life. 

I would totally agree that using creative expression is a very therapeutic activity and is good for the soul.  Even if a person feels unsure about their talents, to apply yourself fully to something - really any fun and engaging activity that requires concentration, especially if you can take time out and be uninterrupted - is a fantastic way to stop rumination and stem worries about the future.  You can only be in the now.  And I'm sure those who have read previous posts from me need not be reminded of the wonderful benefits of mindfulness and tapping into the soothing emotional system

what acknowledgment were you expecting/would have liked to see?

I was hoping it would sway her to fix things, although highly unlikely.
