The finished piece
Yesterday would’ve been our 15th wedding anniversary, my inner child has been screaming to be seen & heard all day. I took time to listen. They expressed their sadness & desires. How betrayed they feel, how blindsided & confused they have been since the discard. Tonight to heal they wanted to paint.

"Your feelings aren't my responsibility" does NOT mean "so I can do whatever I want without consequences" or "so if you happen to feel hurt by something I did, I don't need to show any care towards you because it wasn't my fault or intention".

Detachment and grief are a weird beast. And being able to hold both the joy and sadness in a moment is an interesting experience. I mean that in the most Minnesotan interesting way I can.
Took myself on a morning date for pastries from Don Panchos Bakery and coffee Backstory Coffee Roasters.

This doesn’t even do a great job of showing the scale outside the Capitol. People were spilling out into the streets on either side. Proud of Minnesotans for not giving into fascism.

Took myself out on a date and realized when I am told something is pretty “authentically Thai spicy” all I need is a 1, a 2 is too spicy 😂
But it was delicious so I kept eating it even though it burned

Yall want intimacy without vulnerability, closeness with selflessness, companionship without compromise.
It just doesn’t work that way.

It’s taken over 40 years to get here but I finally see that I have value, I have worth. Not because I can provide something to someone, not because I shrank myself so small to give someone else control, just because I am me. I am worthy of being loved for all that I am.
And so are you, my friend 💕

Please keep speaking your mind. You don’t need to apologize for having an opinion—whether that is about food, nerdy things, or politics 💕

I think it helps to read as orange. It’s giving really good flavor cues

Weird thing to fixate on but that orange zest looks spot on. And the whole dish looks amazing!

ay lovers, empaths & soft-hearted folks who sometimes mistake attention for intimacy.
it's not.
it's love bombing.
here's a reminder that real love takes time.
that you are worthy of being known deeply—not just praised loudly.
don't fall for lip service. be seen, known, and held fr.
k? k.

That could also be it! They are just so young they don’t know any better. I think we need to show them the way. And by we I mean artists like you who can draw lol

Not Bsky but at a convention next to a newer artist who covered all of her work cause she thought it was NSFW, had to tell her the work was relatively tame for conventions. There weren’t even any exposed boobs! Maybe it’s a lack of knowledge? Or just cautious? Def could be shame though

Being miss gendered by every person I meet is starting to feel tiring. It feels especially hard when it happens within my own community.
I am starting to come to terms with I know who I am and that is what matters most.

It has been far too long since I have sat outside with the sun on my face. I have missed this.

It’s been two months since I changed my pronouns and came out to my family.
It’s been one month since my marriage ended.
It really sucks that a time that was supposed to be filled with joy and discovery has been co-opted by grief.
Something, something new journey.

YASSS!! I am so proud of you for this! It is a scary thing to admit but leads to so much more self discovery.

I understand both perspectives. For a long time it was just the two of us and she started to make more and more friends and I became that person because she stopped participating in our relationship. I hated it and ended up hating myself because of it. It’s just a stupid vicious cycle of suck
