Josh, I hope you can forgive your tormentor someday. I bet he was a victim of abuse in his family. Usually the bullies are victims themselves-very sad. I know exactly what you mean though as I experienced this myself when I was little. In the 60's my sister and I were stoned on the way home from school. She had to find a different way home every day to elude the bullies as she was over weight. Wow. Too bad we have to experience these things but we wouldn't be who we are today if we hadn't. I think it makes for empathetic people when they have had these experiences. Some people go on to bully themselves. The trick is to revenge the bullies by vowing never to be that way yourself. I hope that helps you some. I know the pain. It leaves a scar that never heals. I also wanted to say that you convey a lot of emotion in your drawings and I really like the movement that is in your compositions. Very interesting and eye catching. Funny, awesome or cool doesn't fit this picture. I would like a category of "heart wrenching". Just know that you aren't the only one......
Ha ha, Josh! I know what you mean by the No...I do. It's hard to put those things behind you. But we've come to the realization that it's much better to laugh than cry (I know this is not my original idea). It is very true and my brother, sisters and I have laughed until we are choking sometimes.

I look at it as just another one of life's experiences. It left me with a good story - one that I can laugh about now. I hold no grudges.
No.... I do.
