Expressing my gratitude to @crang17

To the girl in the mirror and beyond ❤️
Hi! We have never talked before but I feel like I know you a bit. I don’t remember how I came across your profile a few weeks ago. I had to read it in breaks, I would tear up every time I read it. I have so many words to say, wont be ever enough or wish I could simply give you a hug. Thank you so much for it. I will try to type out my feelings for you and your words but ah won’t the have wizard flair with words as you have.
It’s so beautiful, you are so beautiful. Made me a fan of the painting, a fan of you! *bows* I love portraits they are magical, window to the soul, but never could see Picasso in such a way, reading what and how it’s so close to you, broadened my view of him and his works. I thank you for that.
I could relate so much to the girl on the leash and how you felt you throughout your time carrying other people’s expectations and how it feels to not own yourself emotionally. If only I could send you a flower expressing my appreciation and respect to you for every blister and scar you have got because of carrying the pain for being someone else’s . Thank you for writing that out, I couldn’t understand was it the amazingness of your words that I could feel each one of them so deeply within me or it was because I could relate. Thank you for understanding how it feels to not have freedom of your own, to be suffocated since birth.
I really needed to read that.
I have so much respect for you and I look up to you, hopefully one day I can have the same strength as you do to be so vulnerable with people and break away from the leash like you could. And converse with same authenticity and rawness. Thank you. Hope you are able to chase dreams of your own.
Sending lots of love and my best wishes
Your fan
Flame

(Reaching out to you in a forum post because I can’t pm hope it’s okay to)
@ferventflame hello dear, thank you so much for this appreciation. Honestly, I have been having a rough and long day today. Just tired nothing too concerning but it has made my anxiety up to the roof. Anyhow, I am so thankful for your appreciation of what I wrote and also the appreciation of Picasso's work. I do know how difficult it can be. People around us tell us to just be us and we will be alright, but what if we don't even who we are in the first place? I did even have that pressure on me when people keep telling me to just be me but deep inside they want me to behave in a certain way. However, that phrase, if reflected deeply, can really open us to a lot of possibilities and growth. The question is would you be brave enough to KNOW you more so you can be MORE OF YOU.
Again, thank you so much flame! I am not sure why you cannot message me but just happy that you have reached out to me. You definitely made my day just by being vulnerable yourself and sharing here. Indeed, you are such a brave and beautiful soul as well. I hope you all the best!
Love lots,
Crang!
@ferventflame I think I now know why. It is because you are in the teen section. I am not yet qualified for teen listening but would definitely do it once I finished my master's. Anywho, stay safe, and tons of love and hugs to you! <3 Sending you lots of flowers too. I wish you will blossom into the person you want to be. 🌻🌸🌹💐🌺🌷🌻
