What's best for you

Slightly disturbing doodle I made a few years ago, nothing fancy. I believe at the time I was reading "For Your Own Good" by Alice Miller while simultaneously working through some childhood traumas. I did a whole series like these, but this one always stuck out to me.

After a long conversation with my friend Julia, during which I showed her this picture and some others, she took a drag of her cigarette and shrugged. "That's what adulthood is for, right?" she said. "Getting over childhood trauma." We both laughed.
