Conquest



I never should have let you in.
The gates were open and the door left wide. And you charged in, imposed yourself, with daggers and swords and hypocrites at your side. In three, you took over, and left a mark, and when i demand that you get out, you smile and mock what i've become. And when you leave, you leave having left havoc in your wake. Never said a word and left me to repair all my mistakes. Sew patches, and recreate the parts that have been broken. Left to clean up the wounds, rebuild the walls and erase what has been spoken. Left behind a token of your devastation. A memory of your temptation. For that I have to thank you...
the walls are now taller, stronger, the shields have been replaced.
And for once, I no longer regret the pain upon your face.

I'm a nerd and a music-lover at heart, from which my love for the written word and visual art stemmed over the years. Although music will indeed always be my first love, I've written ever since I could remember, and over time the chorus lyrics I would knock out whilst prancing around my bedroom when I was nine, evolved to become the written pieces of poetry and prose you see in my gallery. Writing isn't ever something I've taken much thought into doing; it's always been a part of who I am and I was never taught in a set way, never corrected and I never really studied it. I think that shows through in my work, the lack of structure and f l o w from line to line screams lack of education on the english language but I like it better this way.

I've only been drawing for four or five years, when one day, sat in my room, I picked up a pencil and realised I could knock out a pretty decent portrait of Gerard Way. I was always someone who doodled in their textbook (it drove my math teacher nuts) but never really applied myself in art until I had to give it up as a class when my GCSEs came along. I also discovered in myself an insane passion for graphic design. Since then, I'm all self-taught and try to be as critical of myself as I can be, and it has always been a real joy to know that I still have so much left to learn, so much left to discover and explore.

I'm a singer who prays for the day I get on stage again, and a pianist/violinist/guitarist who pines for the day I get my own grand piano/turqoise electric violin/white les paul for my own house (I guess a home recording studio would be welcome too). I listen to all sorts, but mainly rock and classical because I feel they hold the most emotion. My favourite band is My Chemical Romance ever since I was 15, and I've lived through every gerardhaircolour and label that was thrown our way. My favourite artists alternate a lot, but at the moment I love Weshoyot Alvitre, James Jean and Lindsey Way.

I love reading and the first chapter book I read was called 'foxy' that I picked up from my class when I was seven. I don't remember the story but I do remember leaving it under my pillow because it took me a while to read every night. I love Harry Potter and anything written by L J Smith (she was writing about vampires before writing about vampires was cool). I lovelovelove comics and think it to be one of the greatest art forms that cleverly combines both the written word and sequential art. I love animes and manga and I also love flicking through science text books to memorise facts about distant diseases no one will ever care to know about. Wikipedia is one of my favourite sites online ever and I love photography but have way too many favourite photographers to name (although I do love me some Winter Kelly and Chris Anthony).

In the real world, I'm a medical student who hopes with all her might that she won't turn into those cold doctors she's crossed in the wards so often. I also hope that I can one day dye my hair bright red and have a daughter named hana. I'm a firm believer in love and friendship and hope and faith (even if you won't hear me admit it half the time) and also a long time sufferer of depression and anxiety.

I think art can change the world but only if we give it a chance.
And I think every person on earth (including you) is special and precious and has way more to offer humanity than what they give themselves credit for.

as ever;
keep shining
and keep the faith~

Groups!




Atria Arts


:iconatriaarts:
I am founder of #AtriaArts a group I created to celebrate art work that conveyed real emotion, be it literature, illustrations, photography or crafts. Atria is also a free online arts magazine with it's first issue currently in the works. I created it whilst trying to create something beautiful out of emerging from yet another bleak period and realised that if I couldn't believe in anything else, I could at least believe in other people's art; join us if you believe that art is there to communicate ideas, to stir out hearts and mind alike, and if you think the under-appreciated have a voice too!

[we're also desperately in need of point donations in order for us to host contests so please feel free to donate any number of points at ~Atria-Arts]




Never Be Alone


:iconneverbealone:
I'm a co-founder at #NeverBeAlone and this is another group that's helped me and others a lot. We exist to help anyone in need of advice or simply a shoulder to cry on and welcome any members who just want to be heard. All all of the admin are fully confidential and if ever you need somewhere to talk things through about anything at all, feel free to note us



I'm also part of:

:icondepressionawareness:
I'm a contributor here and this is yet another place you can go to on dA for support and somewhere to share experiences with those who have gone through similar things to you.


:iconoutstandingwriters:
I'm a contributor here and this has always been a place I turn to for great literature from writers you may not have heard of yet but who I will guarantee will leave an imprint on your mind deep enough that you never forget who they are again!

I want to invite you to the group #EliteLiterature. They're looking for more members and asked their current members to invite people and I thought of you. :)

Full disclosure, yeah, there IS a contest for it, and whoever refers the most people to the group gets a 3-month membership, but if you want, you don't have to mention it was me who sent you. I still think you should join. :)

You can find out more here: [link]
