I drew this today
It’s for my best friend Becky who’s been in hospital for half a year because of self-harming, her mum asked me to draw something inspiring for her and incorporate butterflies into it somehow so I did this. I just wanted to show her that even though her arms may now be mutilated and abused beyond recognition, there is still hope and beauty to be found in everything. That I still find her absolutely beautiful and perfect.
This is so sweet

The Loneliest Whale in the World.
In 2004, The New York Times wrote an article about the loneliest whale in the world. Scientists have been tracking her since 1992 and they discovered the problem: She isn’t like any other baleen whale. Unlike all other whales, she doesn’t have friends. She doesn’t have a family. She doesn’t belong to any tribe, pack or gang. She doesn’t have a lover. She never had one. Her songs come in groups of two to six calls, lasting for five to six seconds each. But her voice is unlike any other baleen whale. It is unique—while the rest of her kind communicate between 12 and 25hz, she sings at 52hz. You see, that’s precisely the problem. No other whales can hear her. Every one of her desperate calls to communicate remains unanswered. Each cry ignored. And, with every lonely song, she becomes sadder and more frustrated, her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by. Just imagine that massive mammal, floating alone and singing—too big to connect with any of the beings it passes, feeling paradoxically small in the vast stretches of empty, open ocean.
Oh god. This is seriously one of the saddest things I’ve read. Like, I’m literally crying. Wtf.
Omg :( I’ll be her friend!!
