My first two client month!!!!!!

My best friend painted that 🥲

It’s actually a whole lot more, but I loved capturing little bits of it at a time.

What kind of art do you gravitate towards?

Of course, I mostly write poetry; I love to paint but not this well; I take lots of pictures but I don’t know if I count as a “photographer”; I’m not sure if makeup counts as art, but I can beeeeaaat my face. I would love to hear the different arts you dabble in!

❤️‍🔥 Poem from WHEN I BLEED: POEMS ABOUT ENDOMETRIOSIS ❤️‍🔥

ID: An abstract black line in water color. A poem that reads:

We were so close

That you slipped rejection

Underneath my tongue

Like a slow acting poison;

It took two years

To finish the old me off.

{ID - three magnet poems, many words & phrases created by stacking multiple magnets 1 - "sorry to my unblood kin / you died / & I just wasted this given time / writing my weary poems / living under shadow / morning (mourning) like I know you" 2 - "you can't / bring them home / love them now" 3 - "transgender / day of / honour" END ID}

i don't want flowers on my grave. i want them in a vase on my windowsill as i look out on another day where i'm safe and happy.
