This just makes me want to cry...

This is the reason my ex and I worked so hard at having a good co-parenting relationship for our son. Perfect visual representation

Seeing the child go and the parents stay would be worse.

They are fading away...

broken family always leaves the children victim

but their hands are the last thing to go so that symbolises them always being with them till the very end

Oh noooo

From dust to dust.

i hate seeing this. parents so focused on looking good that their kids are no more than mere accessories to make them look happy and perfect

The child is slowly losing their parents

same

I know the feeling...

My mom & dad live in different homes. I'm currently living at my dad's home, and I always keep my dear Mama deep in my heart. I have a situation similar to this photo, except the mother isn't there... :(

It's rare nowadays that a child grows up with two parents and the mother is physically there but not present mainly because she is working to support the entire family on her own.

This reminds me of Le Vent Nous Portera by Noir Désir https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrgcRvBJYBE

Look at the shadow... it seems that his own chipped parts are casting that chipping shadow. Maby it meens that we are our greatest enemies. I know that I can be great... as long as I trust myself. On other hand, when I am insecure, I am dumb as hell 😉😎

Awww...I irrationally hope they get to meet again!

Oh god me as a boy... Coffee

Welcome to the machine

life's greatest pleasure!

The different interpretations of this are fascinating....

Feeling like someone is cutting the strings that hold you up.

Sometime darkness will be your best friend

This illustration is more poetic than much of the artwork that is out there today.

Amazing - this is one of the few illustrations that exactly sums up how my depression feels to me

Those trowing the darts are wearing their own masks as well

We reap what we sow

Hedwig, why!?!?

Wanting to preserve your childhood

Sometimes you need to let go all you have just to be with someone

Hoping for the parents you never had. Wanting a complete family...

having to use yourself to keep others happy

Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking off her clothes

Orchestrated death

childhood trauma

Surrounded by a bunch of airheads?

Such a big heart with no one to love..

Darkness will clnsume you even if you're grasping at your last bit of light.

Again, time is deadly

This says to me "So many things that want to plug into you. To use your energy and lifeforce, and drain you." Perhaps referring also to the electronics and devices that seem to consume our lives, in this illustration, quite literally.

Be patient when helping someone who's struggling to adapt. (There's enough yarn)

Kill them with kindness
