I've had hard times but nothing can compare to things lately.

So I sat down and started doodling. Before I realized, I had drawn.. pretty much what I feel that I need right now, something that would help some.

***(and I decided to color it. First time in FOREVER with colored pencils, feel free to critique).***

So this is my character, Chickasaw, with Jay, one of my best friends and brothers in Christ. I met and worked with him this past summer at a summer camp (yes, I love kids).
We are very similar in that he has been through a Lot of what I have been and am now going through. Which is probably what started our friendship. I haven't seen Jay since this past summer but we keep in touch pretty well. He's very protective over me and has strongly taken on a "big brother" type roll in my life.
Lately so many things have happened that I can't sleep at all because my mind keeps me up. (I'm an insomniac but usually my mind doesn't bother me). I know MANY have experienced these same things and much, MUCH worse, but I feel like he's the only person I can actually TAlk to about it. (I'm sure everyone knows how that is).
That's kind of what this picture symbolizes. He won't like what he hears and his words might just be rambling and "I have a theory..", but they help.
