Please be gentle with yourself as you create things. Stretch, drink water, breathe, take breaks. I'm trying to remind myself everyday that even if I am going and have to go slow with art, it's always progress regardless.
This weekend, I need to sit down and write a bunch about death, I think. It's a combination of November, myself, the world, what I'm reading... I have a lot of thoughts and feelings.
