“You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its killing.” - John Green

I’m much happier with this version; I’m so glad I went back to change it.

I decided to use ink for this because it’s my weakest medium and I knew it was going to difficult to work with and hard to change. I didn’t like the small colored letters so I turned it into part of the concept. I wrote the phrase a few times in color, as if it were a mantra I had to repeat quietly to myself, before realizing that if I’m really not going to let this kill me, I’m gonna have to scream it.
