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 💕

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.

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.

Love and hate being sides of the same coin creates so much cognitive dissonance it’s crazy. It is so confusing.
But at least I know there is no love for that feeling, only hate. Same with grief. They can both die in a fire.

This would be an amazing set of dates
date idea: we learn blacksmithing and then forge swords (perhaps this is several dates)

The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.

Today is the day. Our grumpy old lady has lived almost 17 years but her quality of life has dropped significantly over the last couple of months so today we say goodbye. I am so fucking sad and am gonna miss her.

Not everyday you get to create web page designs with crocodiles... This is a temporary landing page I am working on designing for a client. Once this launches we get to work on branding and a full website!
