This is a piece I worked back in 2022. The original piece was called Toxic Love, but I think there's more that could be explained to this piece, than a story of a bad relationship. That's why I felt it was important to let it shine for a bit in the Valentine's Day section.
At some point in our lives, many of us have struggled with disappointments from past relationships. We've be hurt by cheating partners, trapped under the influence of narcissistic ones, or just simply fell out of love over time due to growing differences.
But after giving yourself time to heal, then dating several new individuals, you meet that ONE person who makes you feel "different" but in a good way. However, a part of you latches on to your past relationship(s). You're having doubts, feeling that "ick", and you feel as if you're not good enough for anyone.
The point I'm trying to make from this artwork is to trust yourself to love again. Our past, toxic relationships must not define who we are. Be honest and raw about your past and yourself for whomever you are meant to be with will accept them all. Do not expect them to fix you, though. It's your job to love and fix yourself.
