So this is really like. I almost didn't wanna put this out because I feel idk braggy and also like it's not even that well executed, but gonna put it out there anyways

My best friend a few years ago introduced me to the idea of, instead of new year goals or resolutions, a word to help guide the year. Maybe it was something you wanted or needed. Maybe it was a hope or aspiration.

So I had the idea of instead of just picking a word, I was gonna do an art project. I had 12 of of my friends choose a flower. Each flower would represent a month, and on each petal I would add, over the course of the year, something good that happened. A memory, a quote, an accomplishment, etc.

I started off sketching them by hand for practice, then I used canva to make a reference. I was gonna print that off and trace over and paint by hand, but decided to try and do digital art instead.

Well. I finished it last night. My second ever digital painting. It's not perfect, but it's done.

if you’re a new tumblr user from tiktok or IG or something and only like posts and dont reblog them yeah people will think you’re a bot and block you but you will also make this website actively worse. they want “algorithmic” users like you, served recommended posts through likes, not people who just follow each other and respond to the direct chronological feed. there is a reason this website is still better than the rest, even with all its problems, do not ruin this

fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.

hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.

hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy

hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it

hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently

hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love

horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho

Return from the Dead with a Request

I know I haven't been active on Tumblr in like...a million years. 🤣But I'm back baby and I'm here to yell to y'all about my books because ya girl is broke (student loans, amirite?) If you want to directly support my paying of bills this month, I have a bunch of copies of Devotion on hand ready to go, signed, with a free hand-made crochet book sleeve (limited in quantity of those tho, first come first served sorta deal)! I also appreciate any orders of both books and the novella.

Let's celebrate love, and the destruction of modern American capitalism! And shopping local!! (both books are available from most retailers outside Scamazon and can be ordered from your local bookshop!)

If you're interested in getting the signed copy of Devotion with or without the booksleeve, just send me a DM or smthn. Free shipping if you're in the 48 continental united states! (media rate bff).

And if some of the plots sound familiar to you...well, you know why 🤣

'Preciate it y'all <3
