The pain of knowledge / El dolor del conocimiento

in Alien Art Hive2 years ago

I have a special love for this illustration. When I sketched it I liked it very much, I feel it expresses very well how I felt at that moment and I still keep it with me.

Tengo especial amor por esta ilustración. Cuando la bocetee me gusto muchísimo, siento que expresa muy bien cómo me sentía en ese momento y aún mantengo conmigo.

Before I had my daughters I used a lot of marijuana and alcohol. I was younger and didn't have as important responsibilities as I do now and I felt that it was the right time to abuse substances. When I found out that my partner was pregnant I made the decision to stop using these substances because it no longer made sense to continue with these habits, especially alcohol. For me, it represented a very difficult grief to bear, since these substances accompanied me for a long time and I could not afford to continue with them. My mother suffers from alcoholism and I know firsthand how unpleasant and corrosive it can be with your loved ones.

Antes de tener a mis hijas consumía mucha marihuana y alcohol. Era más joven y no tenía responsabilidades tan importantes como las que ahora tengo además de sentir que era el momento para abusar de las sustancias. Cuando me enteré que mi pareja estaba embarazada tomé la decisión de dejar de consumir estas sustancias porque ya no tenía sentido seguir con dichos hábitos y por sobre todo el alcohol. Para mí, representó un duelo muy difícil de llevar, ya que estas sustancias me acompañaron por muchísimo tiempo y no podía permitirme seguir con ellas. Mi madre sufre de alcoholismo y se de primera mano lo desagradable y corrosivo que puede llegar a ser con tus seres queridos.

Beyond my personal decision to quit. My opinion regarding these substances is not negative, as contradictory as it may seem, I think they are very interesting recreational drugs and that people can and perhaps should continue to enjoy them without a problem. But from my perspective, I don't want my daughters to see me in a drunken state.

Más allá de mi decisión personal de dejarlas. Mi opinión con respecto a estas sustancias no es negativa, por muy contradictorio que parezca, creo que son drogas recreativas muy interesantes y que las personas pueden y tal vez deberían seguir disfrutando de ellas sin problema. Pero desde mi perspectiva, no quiero que mis hijas me vean en estado de ebriedad.

Without delving any deeper into the topic, I just wanted to give you a little bit of the context of it.

Sin ahondar más en el tema, solo quería darles un poco del contexto de la misma.

Gracias por compartir el contexto, creo que hiciste catarsis con este dibujo. Muy interesante pieza. Espero que te encuentres bien, mis mejores deseos =)

Muchas gracias! Y si, yo siento que fue tal cual una catarsis. Actualmente estoy bastante bien y la pieza tiene significado y fuerza para mi. Pero mis hijas tienen 4 y la verdad estoy bastante bien en como evoluciono todo.

Me alegra que todo haya salido bien. Un abrazo hermano =)

That's impressive my dear friend😃

I admit alcohol and other drugs aren't bad as long as they're accompanied for joyful state 💪

I agree with you. Drugs are what they are, and it's not a bad thing.

Cool drawing and line art! Reminds me a bit of the Moebius' John Difool universe.

wao I'm very honored that you compare it. I discovered moebius after showing this illustration to a friend and I love his art.

You made the right decision. Not many people can control their withdrawal symptoms and end up relapsing. You are strong :)

Indeed he is

Beautiful and pleasant piece. I like your little write-up too, it takes a lot to quit these things especially as you mentioned you do not have negative opinions of them, kudos to you.
