I decided to create this piece, based on personal fears: Comprised of those both real and imagined; readily-conspicuous, or completely obscure... From relationships to health issues, and even safety threats, I present mine to all thee: (Several aspects of my piece here may be disturbing and/or triggering to some; hence, please be forewarned... ) Spoiler: Drawtober 2023 Submission : FEARS...(Trigger Warning!)
I'm ever-grateful to @Fayee for helping and guiding me on how I could successfully post my work here... Thank you so much! 💗💕💞🤗💞💕💗

~ Hi! I really enjoyed drawing this prompt & challenging myself! I went with Athazagoraphobia - The fear of forgetting. I hope y’all enjoy my entry & good luck everyone! ❤️🍓 - zaea Spoiler: Story behind the fear I chose ~ I decided to create my drawing around my personal fear , which is forgetting. I have pretty bad ADHD and sometimes I feel like when I get older then I’m going to lose my memory. My grandmother also suffered from Alzheimer’s and I witnessed her slowly forget my mom & I - my biggest fear is it happening to myself or my mom and being forgotten by her or myself eventually not being able to remember anyone or myself. I make sure to point my focus to the present. Spoiler: Fear sketch submission Spoiler: Link to proof! https://imgur.com/a/QczkjWD
Spoiler: Thalassophobia https://i.imgur.com/FYiJeC1.jpg i was so uncomfortable drawing this, just by looking at the colors but still…I’m proud of myself for finishing it :>
