Of course, as an automatic drawing, I wasn't initially aware of what was being portrayed here.
 
However, because I am not impervious to self-doubt or being self-critical, I quickly recognized that the three figures in this piece are all echoes of the same person and represent...
 
the personification of a negative inner-voice,
the personification of an emotionally wounded state (as the recipient and unsuspecting victim of self-abuse),
and the wearied projection of anticipated failure (as a foregone conclusion).
 
Sadly, I've been there and done that. And, it is neither fun nor productive.
 
But, I must also admit that becoming aware of such behavior and changing the way I speak to and about myself has been deeply empowering, especially after recognizing the positive influence that the change has had on my everyday experience.
