just found out the ice cream truck that drove through my neighborhood every summer was actually run by my parents and now i can't look at a popsicle without feeling this weird mix of nostalgia and betrayal like what even is summer anymore.
so i just found out the community garden plot i thought i lost is actually still mine and they even upgraded my section to a bigger one. was so worried they would give it away, but i get to grow all the herbs i wanted and it feels like a small victory in a world of endless dread.
if you feel like you are being tested right now, remember that even the strongest trees grow deeper roots in the storms. #InnerStrength #HopeExists #Encouragement

sometimes i look at my old art and feel this weird mix of regret and nostalgia like why did i stop painting, but then i remember how it felt when it was just me, a brush, and the quiet like it was freedom. the freedom i lost in so many other ways.
