Can I call myself an artist if all I make is people sad
People having expectations of how prolific I once was asking what I’ve been up to and seeming disappointed that I am not that person anymore. I miss them terribly. I will never stop trying to make things. It’s just looking different, it is different. It is much harder
Anyways, I got a typewriter

Today thinking about the people I’ve lost because of my illnesses.
Ik it’s good to know who will actually be there, but it sucks that some people I loved so much couldn’t handle my reality. I can’t either sometimes.
I’m grateful for those who’ve been here, who stay here. The grief still hits tho.

The state of the world is bad. I see people doing things, helping people in many ways that I can’t. It hurts to feel so helpless right now as someone who can barely keep their body upright. I have to remind myself that we each can do exactly what we can and no more, even if it feels insignificant.

I’ve been wanting to finish projects I started before my pneumonia and after 2 months, I’m now able to at least do some doodling again.
My body and mind are not what they were, but that’s part of why I’m doing this project.
First one is from before the hospital, the second is new

People need to stop telling disabled folks to not identify with their illnesses. Who I am does not, never has, and never will exist without the pain I’m in. Asking me to try and tease out an intrinsic part of my existence from my identity is absurd.

Obligatory new platform intro:
My name is Cicada, I am a 24 year old, nonbinary, disabled, terminally ill artist.
With that, I’ve been thinking a lot more about where I want to spend my time and who with.
IG is becoming unusable.
Here for art. Here for crips. Here for gays.
