I was so content earlier. And then. Yeah. All of it came crashing down hard. Being humiliated at a restaurant by a stranger and then it escalating at home. Feeling like such a failure for crying in public 💔 but I know it’s because it’s much deeper than this

Wish I had something kind to say about myself but I don’t. I feel destroyed emotionally and by life and I wonder if things will ever truly change. I haven’t been able to stop grieving and even with therapy, I feel so fcking raw and let down and like a huge disappointment. Welcome to my pity party 🎉

Little did I know this card would change my the trajectory of my business. I was unemployed and depressed, but my loved ones told me to keep trying. I kept painting, learning, designing — until this became my bestseller. So grateful for this journey. 🖤

So grateful to share that not only did I receive the wedding order commission, but that I’m officially done with it. Month and weeks of labor: from painting to printing, to cutting and perfecting each detail! All my Lover archetype energy embodied and shared — it was an honor for me.

The cruelest truth: even when you give someone your soul, your love, your devotion through their darkest hours… they can still treat you like you were nothing.

Apparently some sort of rapture is set to happen. Feel free to leave my name on your 401ks and other investments. 💅🏼

I’ve always loved Jimmy Eat World’s album Futures, especially 23 and Polaris. Dark yet hopeful, full of longing and melancholy. 🖤

Inkjet* lol 😂 it’s not true watercolor paper so the quality sucks for holding multiple layers

I’m using watercolor ink paper leftover pieces I’ve cut into squares to make small practice paintings during breaks during the workday because corporate work sucks. Anyway. I think I’m gonna turn this into a cute cherry 🍒 cake 🍰🥰 Used a bit of gold metallic watercolor and it’s adorable af.

One of my most favorite poems.

Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

Sometimes I react strongly because my body remembers a lifetime of trauma. I could sit in shame, but instead I make amends. Because I care, because I’m more than a diagnosis. My apology is my heart on display.

Roof work rattled me this morning, loud bangs, vibrations, it felt like danger. Weirdly enough, it gave me the smallest glimpse of what the Palestinians endure daily under real explosions. I can’t stop thinking of them. Their nervous systems must be totally wrecked 😢

What I love about poets is how each develops their own birdsong — unmistakable voices piercing the silence. Some carry beauty, others darkness, yet all travel across the sky, across this mysterious expanse. Poetry, no matter how solitary, is always heard somewhere.

What’s weird is that I hardly watch music videos. I let the music set the scene and paint the imagery. Sometimes I feel like watching the videos writes the experience for me. Other times it confirms it. Other times it doesn’t make sense. The symbols arrive to the forefront.

My body likes to wake up early lately, so now among my morning ritual is the call to stargaze. I get to see my favorite constellation, Orion. I even saw the Pleiades with just my eyes. Can’t wait to get my telescope or binoculars. On my wish list. ✨🔭
