This art goes out to everyone who was told, "you're too sensitive," or "stop wearing your heart on your sleeve."
Fuck that shit.
Your feelings are telling you that person is a rude bigoted jerk.
When you repress those feelings, you gaslight yourself into staying in an unhealthy situation.
So fuck every single bully. Feel it all.

Hand embroidery of a heart on fire. The words "feel it all" are dancing in the flames.
The heart is embroidered in shaded short-long stitches, with colors fading from butter yellow at the top through citrius orange. A yellow-pink yarn in back stitches creates a border around the heart.
The fire is stitched in jagged running stitches, starting in neon orange at the bottom and growing to tomato red at the top.
