what if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them?
what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too?
what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things?
what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?

Let’s not scroll tonight. Let’s read a book instead. I’m going to read The Wall by Marlen Haushofer. How about you? 📚

I don’t watch nor care about football/sports (sorry!) but somehow saw the end of that Eagles game w/ family and I kinda get now why people like sports like that was genuinely very thrilling and suspenseful and I was very curious how it would play out!! Go Birds!!!

I like sharing my unfiltered thoughts, it feels therapeutic,
it’s probably cringe and people probably judge me, but I don’t care,
I’m doing it for my own mental wellbeing, to get them out of my head,

I’ve always craved that, feeling like someone really gets me,
Those magic moments when someone says something (maybe in a film or song or, if you’re lucky, in your IRL life) and it’s exactly the way you feel or have felt,
it’s so validating,
and it can make someone feel less alone

So much pain is born of feeling unheard,
of being misunderstood and misremembered,
of feeling like what you say,
what you have to offer the world,
that it isn’t wanted, valued, or cherished by those around you,
or worse, that it is diminished and shamed,

So much pain comes from not being listened to,
from those that love you not taking the time to sit down and listen, to open their heart enough to say,
“Even though I might not fully understand, I see you, I love you, I hear you, what you say and what you have to share matters to me.”
