This is incredibely powerful. It's almost as if I can feel the emotions behind this.

Thank you. Actually, I draw everything for the sake of emotions. I mean, drawing is the way I relax, so maybe I'm not really an artists and art is my hobby.

Ah yes. I definitely know what you mean. I draw all the time and it really helps me whenever I'm sad/stressed/angry. It's a way to vent without lashing out on anyone. I always feel a bit better afterwards.
I hope that whatever the matter was that prompted you to create this has been dealt with. Always remember to look for the bright side. Even if you can't see it at the moment, it's always there.

The drawing is called "past", so it means that the thing that caused that emotion has already gone) It happened couple of years ago, but I still feel the effects it caused. Maybe it will stay with me forever.
After all, each and every one of us has their own sad story to tell.

I don't know what happened and I don't want to force you to talk about it... If it made such an impact on you, then yes, I do believe that it may be with you forever. Or at least a long time.
But please understand, you don't have to feel sad or angry. I think it'd be wise to talk about it to someone. Friends and family are always a good choice. Or even seek professional help (I'm not trying to insult you or anything, I'm just saying that sometimes it's easier to talk to a stranger and get a fresh, clear and objective view. Trust me, this I know.)
Just, get it out of your system. Talk and talk and talk until you feel like there's nothing else to be said about it.
I believe the best thing to do at this point is to accept that some things happen for a reason. You may not know why, but they still do. Happy or sad, it doesn't matter. You know, there is a saying here where I live that goes "Κάθε εμπόδιο σε καλό¨. It basically means that every obstacle you face will turn into something good, in the long run. And I believe in it, I truly do. Besides, you can't really fall down everytime something unfortunate happens. You have to deal with it, get back up (no matter how hardit may see) and keep going. Life does move on.

As I said, past thing is a past thing. I don't care much about it, but sometimes it's just nice to imaging myself breaking someone's throat.
So I'm totally okay, man. Thank you for support, but I've been talking 'bout the thing so much that I don't want to chatter about it anymore. Anyway, I believe I've never had a depression - though I wanted to - and I just have some complexes left, but hey, show me a person that doesn't have them. Speaking of psychologist... I'm from Russia, and we here are not used to such things as professional mental help, so we usually just cope with problems by ourselves. That's not an issue.

Aha yes, now I definitely get what you mean! I've been to a few situations myself where I felt I punch to the face was needed.
Well, if you feel that way then I suppose it's fine. Also, I'm a girl.... just making it clear...Eh I'm not sure how mush of a good thing is that. I mean, yeah, I suppose learning how to cope with something on your own makes you stronger, but then again it never hurts to ask for help. But hey, this is you and this is me, right?
Still, I'm glad we were able to have that talk. It's nice to know that you care enough to respond to your viewers and connect with them.

Sorry, I used world "man" here as a short form of "human". Once again, here in Russia we girls sometimes call each other with masculine nouns and that's okay. So it may be me who is trying to use Russian rules in English language.
We cope with problems with the help of our friends, family and other non-professionals. Actually, I don't think that you could get psychologist's every time even if you wanted to, because there are not really much of them. For example, they say that each and every school should have their own psychologist(s), but usually this position is usually occupied by ordinary teachers who don't know much about mental help.
You are the second person who told me that in past few days. I just don't get that much feedback and I'm pretty talkative.

Haha don't worry about it! I live in Greece, we call each other anything and everything we want!
Seriously? Wow. Talk about a tough country, am I right?!
Eh I get you. Same thing happens with me as well, but meh, can't really do anything about that..

Anything? Can you tell me more about it?
Well, rumours about scary Russians are known all around the world. It's not always true, but it still depicts our mentality pretty well.

Ugh where to begin?! Sometimes, we call each other normally with feminine promouns, sometimes with masculine, other times we use swear words that are demining and offensive in any other way, but withclose friends they are used in a friendly and loving way,(my most favorite one to use xD) we can create new, totally meaningless words (yup, that's a thing)(they're mostly like inside jokes) etc tec...
Imma say it again. Tough countryI wanna visit sometime.

It seems that our languages are very similar! We also call each other with bad words, though we mean nothing but affection. We do that for fun. For example, I don't thing that I use offensive words to describe my disgust as much as I do it when I'm talking to my friends.
Meaningless are a thing as well! Also, Russian language is a pretty flexible thing, so we can even change word order in sentences, and it effects nothing but maybe the accents (I mean, by changing the order you can draw attention to something).
You're pretty welcome here! It would be gorgeous to see someone of you, foreign guys, here in Russia.

Oh wow! Hahaha we are so polite to our friends!
Hmm I didn't know that Russian is such a flexible language. Greek language is also very flexible - it's exactly the way you described yours!
Ironically enough, I've been thinking about learning another language for a long time now(I already know Greekcuz, y'know, I'm from Greece and English). I was thinking about Spanish or French, but now you made me wonder, should I considere Russian? I hear it's a pretty difficult language...
I would love to visit sometime! I really love meeting people I know and talk with, but never actually seen them.

I didn't expect Greek language t obe the same, actually Well, more you live, more you know.
I can't give any good advice here. I myself am Russian, I am good at Englich more or less, and also I know some things about French. I didn't have any practise for a long time, so my knowledges are gradually fading away. For me, French was something in-between Russian and English.
They say that Russian is the third difficult language in the world, together with Ukranian.
Well, if you want to visit Saint-Petersburg one day, you know at least one person you can meet here!
