That really is a heart-warming message. We need more people like this.
Y'know, this has made me realize how extremely fortunate I am. Truly.
I swear, the closest I ever got to depression was when my parents divorced, when I was very young. But now, everything's been mended, I have had very supportive friends, my whole life. When I next see them, I am going to thank every single one of them, just for being there for me. <3
And to everyone who is not as lucky as I am, I feel for each and every one of you. *gives hugs to everyone* I hope your situations get better, so that you really can love life. I'm thinking of you all. <3
(I am so taking that stamp. )
Thank you, Apache, for this. It really made my day. The art is beautiful, as well.

Stamp is definitely in the signature.

You are an amazing person, Apache. I hate seeing all these kids on here that seem so depressed. Sure, I've battled through some tough times, and I still try to be as happy as possible. I really hope your message spread all across CS and inspires so many, just like that woman inspired you. Everyone should love life.
And great job on the art. It looks great.

How do you draw so well. O_O I wish I could draw like this! But I has no tablet. v_v

Every word you say is the truth, Apache~. I myself lived a very hard life when I was younger. My dad was too an alcoholic and a dug addict and it definitely affected my life as a toddler. Even after the divorce happened when I was four, his actions badly influenced me. I was almost diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome until I was medicated with Prozac. I was singled out as the strange or weird kid when I was in my younger years in elementary school. I had no friends, no father to take care of me, no real childhood. Even today I can't remember a happy time when I was younger.
Luckily, I'm fine now, with many friends and a fine father. He managed to find 'God' (note that I only put in quotes as I am atheist) and he sorted out his life.
And yet, people are still depressed with their lives. I have one message to you all. I can overcome it, and so can you. And this is a message that this piece of wonderful art shows.

Thank you!
You conveyed this message better than I ever could have.

I'm a happy person; I've got no reason to be sad.
Most people on the internet don't, and they can make a choice about whether they're going to be a downer or not.

Anyway, this image is lovely. I love the vibrant and lively look of the whole piece.

Thank you Uo. Thank you for sharing this with us <3
This really touched my heart ;u; I'm very glad you're out of that rough spot in you life and thankful for the woman who changed you and wish you both happiness.
The piece perfectly and effectively symbolizes such a simple concept: To love life, through good times or worse.
Such a strong message should be shared with everyone; it could do a whole lot of good in this world~

this is a fantastic piece and an even more fantastic message

I didn't chose top be depressed. I want to be happy , but it just doesn't work that way.
I wish people could understand depression is a real sickness, not just "Oh, I think I will be so sad that I want to die today.".
I really like you and your art but this is just making me really mad.

You know, every day I get people saying "Why can't you just get over it and be happy," and no matter how hard I try, I simply can't.
