There is another reason why I decided to commission the Proud Samurai drawing.

Things haven't gone as planned in the last few weeks. To name the worst:
A person I loved and admired very much, and with whom I had a very close and deep connection, left me without warning, leaving a hole in my heart.
A very good friend I had known for years fell into a coma and died shortly thereafter.

To say I was depressed after these situations would be an understatement, but I can't give up. However, I decided to abandon the idea of ​​switching to another fursona during this time and stay true to myself, partly because there might be issues with her ref sheet, but that's another story.

Over the past few years, I've experienced many such painful situations. I was often on the verge of a breakdown. But every time I was down, I managed to get back up, on my own or with the help of my friends and family. I got up and kept going, always a little stronger than before. I've learned that I would only truly lose if I chose to stay down and give up. No matter how long it takes to get up and be stronger than before, I will fight for it and be proud of myself. I may not be the strongest and a little clumsy at times, but I'm proud of where I am today. This "fight and don't give up" mentality is also evident in my Kitsune. She can be a noble woman with a big heart, but also a warrior in times of need, not only for herself but also for others.
