THE STORY BEHIND THIS ILLUSTRATION

This time I want to show you a little illustration that I did not long ago, which I did with a lot of love because it hides a very important meaning for me that has affected me throughout this year.

This drawing reflects the relationship I have with my best friend. He was diagnosed with depression at the beginning of the year, a devastating news for both his family and me. In spite of this circumstance and that he has had difficult moments in which we almost lost him ... He kept fighting and keeps fighting ... That is why for me he is like a Lion who does not give up.

There are moments that are not easy for Him, that's why I always try to let him know that he has someone who accompanies him in all the bad times. I try to make him know all his virtues and that he has reasons to stay here alive, how much he is capable of doing and that there is always an alternative. I try that he does not feel alone. That's why I drew this, the lion, and the girl who will always be there supporting him even when he thinks he cannot continue anymore ...

Please, if you have a family member, a friend, or anyone you know going through a difficult time, don't hesitate to offer your help and tell them how much it matters, and that there is always a reason to keep fighting. Show them that you are there for what they need and that they are not alone in this process. It's amazing how a few simple words at the right time can define the rest of a person's life.
