tumblr is so like. meaningless. just clicking around. reading lil poem fragments. reblogging things just bcuz the vibe is good. seeing the same paintings on the dash 5 times in a day. making my little 2 note posts. love it here.

At this point I don’t even know what to name this anymore

you know what, if you can’t get it to stop acting up then fuck it up, it’s the only way out of the rut

So umm I just wanted to say hi, and tell you I've known you for a very, very long time. Probably since I was about 12-14 and still an aspiring artist on DeviantArt. I'm 19 now, and I just entered art school, and I found your tumblr by accident a month ago or so. I look up to you so much, and I want to thank you for all the resources you've made available for us. Also, the content here is the best I've seen (feminism, disabled people, mental illnesses etc), I've got you on notifs and I love you.

I love you, too.

Sometimes I forget that I am connected to others here, and I feel like I am just off, doing my own thing, shouting into the void. But I’m not, and I need to act like it. This fills me with a desire to keep going, to keep on producing art and ideas. Keep talking about what could be better in our world.

Thank you. I will keep trying to do my best.

If you need anything, anything at all, just ask.

There are few things more glorious than a friend’s sketchbook.
