my art is an extension of me in so many ways, i value anyone who dares to get close to me while trying to know it and learn it as best at they can.

talked to my aunts about their time as sharecroppers as little girls while sipping moonshine and gathering information about how to exalt them in my work.

i’m officially at that age now and damn grateful for it.

just want to wake up in a cozy loft making pancakes for a lover while art we made hangs in the kitchen or plays in the background.

a kiss here, a longing look there, and a caress to a face that looks like the home we built for anything but clay.

one of my mutuals said that representation itself is a byproduct of supremacy.

and thinking that it’s existence is because there is not enough compassion for us in these spaces to exist or aim to make space for each other, this rings true.

Art is to be discussed and often interpreted differently.

No need to get all riled up off people's opinions on Sinners.

Neurodivergents make better authors because they'll research the absolute ever loving life out of the topics surrounding their books. That adhd rabbit hole be real, I fear.

anyone can call you beautiful, breathtaking, alluring.

but how do you see my eyes? is my spirit warm to you? do i feel like the home you’ve always wanted?

i like people who let me ramble.

who listen and let me go on and on in glee, anger, frustration, passion, etc.

i’d like to think i could let my thoughts flow like a river with someone willing to float down it aimlessly.

So many stories of long-married couples are about one partner, usually female, who’s been accommodating undiagnosed neurodivergence & mental illness.

It’s okay for you to like to talk and connect with strangers. It’s okay for people to want space, distance and boundaries. It’s okay to have differences. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility
Unpopular opinion: I know it's cool to wear your earbuds and carry a book while pasting a disinterested, don't-talk-to-me expression on your face, but I like to talk to the person sitting beside me on airplanes. I liked it when we were willing to be inconvenienced by strangers.
