I've been in a similar circumstance, with the same cycles. This is a fantasy world, but the experiences are true, and im proud to have found the strength to read all of this, and saw it to the end, the same way i did for my own real experience. Also, flower language had me thinking from the start so the flowers went hard. The writing is great, i love the art, the chibi cgs aren't my favorite but for the heavy material i am fine with it being chibi, so you dont dwell. As a survivor, this is cathartic and a reflection piece i really found solace in. Not like "heehee happy" but more, that it has a resonance that i feel will last with me, if not be something i revisit every once in a while, to remember i have my own journey and i've come so far. Meiri, thank you for this microcosm of earnest expression. You've made something I'm going to keep in my back pocket.
