This is a vent, featuring Sophia as a teen and Leonardo from TMNT 2012.

I've been feeling this weight lately and it's maybe because of many things happening in my life. Preparing for a big test, being told to schedule for a retake for a test, being told to retake a driving test, and promising to pass so I can help my parents in building a bigger house or something. All summer, it's all about tests, tests, TESTS! I wanted my summer to be about giving myself a mental break, a chance to take care of myself, but it seems like when you're a fucking adult, especially when you're the firstborn child, the world bombards you with so many things at once, slowly increasing pressure everytime. Not giving a shit about your health or what not. At least, that's what it feels like to me.

I've been pressured to succeed in school, pressured to start driving, pressured to get a job, but it's so hard to juggle so many at once. So the best I can do is take small steps to success, but my family be wanting me to already start working and be the best like I always been, to get the best scores in tests and the what. Too bad I am sacrificing my own mental health just to succeed. And if I take care of myself, I have to sacrifice important time for something!

I thought teen life was hard, but adult life was harder. And I hate it. I don't know why. Many say I'm just lazy, but I always think it's because of me having fear and anxiety, the fear of getting hurt, especially emotionally and/or mentally, and hurting others. And to quote Sans, "Or is that just a poor excuse for being lazy?" I don't even know anymore and I just want this burden to be lessened.

If you're wondering why I chose teen Sophia for venting instead of drawing her as an adult (which I don't even have a design of yet), it's because I felt like my troubles increased when I reached my first teen years (13) and I didn't even know it. And I often figured that it's because I'm the eldest sibling. Leo empathized with her because he too is the eldest sibling and he has to be burdened with so much. So he's giving her a hug to show that he feels the same way as her, understanding the burdens of being the firstborn.

This is also a remake of an old artwork from a cute, happy, fluffy one to a sad, depressing, but still fluffy one. Why? Because I just need a hug right now. TmT

So, yeah. A vent. And no, this is not a ship art. Leo is shipped with Venus in this AU and he views Sophia more as a sister with Sophia viewing him as an older brother figure.
