The freedom to finally grieve

over the last 11 years i’ve come to almost numb myself when telling people my dad is dead. people don’t know what to say. they get uncomfortable. i feel bad that me sharing this fact about my life makes them uncomfortable. i almost forget that it’s sad information because i try to move past the interaction as quickly as possible. and besides, i can’t get Sad every time i have to share this fact with someone. but today my coworker made me feel so seen. her genuine reaction to my loss made me remember that others can, in fact, see my grief. i am grateful for it. and i am grateful to others who trust me to hold their grief. i cherish your sharing.

I got so choked up when I learned this bug fact of all things. But the longer I thought about it the more I just wanted to let myself document how moving it was for me. I love being moved by such simple parts of nature, and I hope you take a moment to be moved by it too (even if it's not from this bug fact :) )

‘things she left behind’

acrylic on canvas

you must have been looking for me.

something something gender as horror, as a haunting. something something "lake mungo" and the girl you never were hiding in the back of old photographs---

her ankle-length skirt heavy with muddy water.

In therapy, I was told to try and make some drawings to express my grief. These are those drawings. I really love them, and you can buy them on my Etsy! 🔆

Beloved one, in the Stars

Such Terrible Things...

A question with no answer.
