Um, HI?!

Wooow I haven’t been on Tumblr in actual years & something about mercury retrograde starting today must have triggered me to remember this platform. I literally googled “do ppl still use tumblr” before downloading it onto my phone lmao

So much has happened since my last post (atleast 5 yrs ago) — I’ve lived and transformed through like 72 lives since then.

But this account was always my baby, my safe space, my mood board, my source for inspiration. I’m glad I’m back, and don’t have to start all over again with a new account.

So excited to rediscover and remember past versions of myself that existed pre-pandemic & before life got so heavy.

Con Amor,

P💞

Mercury retrograde stepping on my mf NECK, BOY 😤 . Lmao feels good to let so much shit go. The weight of resentment is so heavy, time to put it down. . Grateful for life & the love that surrounds me. (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B43KEdlAq5_/?igshid=zeuzei3aou7f

I like my girls just like I like my honey— sweet, a little selfish I like my women like I like my money— green, a little jealous ❣️ 2 years ago I told shorty she was my girl, and luckily for me, she accepted the title. ❣️ We lived 2,000 miles away from one another then. ❣️ So much has changed since then. We’re now living together, caring for our 2 dogs, and working toward our independent/ mutual goals...by each other’s side. ❣️ I’m thankful for every lesson and experience with my baby. We’re only just getting started, too, I can’t wait to see what the future holds (although I have mad plans, so I have an idea of what that’ll look like✨) ❣️ I’ll love you forever, no matter what. 💋 (at Antioch, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4l2MiRAckj/?igshid=6sj02uski3cx

INKTOBER 03: [no prompt] - Lol I just felt like drawing whatever I wanted, so I did. Pretty satisfied w/ how she turned out. - I’m launching my official website this month & im considering making this a sticker. 👀 - Pencil sketch, colored in digitally on procreate.

INKTOBER 02: “JAM” 🎶 - Took some personal liberty w/ interpreting today’s prompt. I liked the idea of making it music-related b/c I miss playing my keyboard, it’s been a minute since I’ve practiced. 😩 I always have a million things I want to work on, but I can only meaningfully give my attention to a few things daily. - We all have the same 24hrs tho. I’ll get a solid routine down eventually. It’s all a work in progress. 🌟 (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3I2eK_go0t/?igshid=117v3yedebdnw

INKTOBER 01: “RING” 💥🥊 - Excited for this month & all the work being created collectively. I’m approaching the challenge w/ a much more relaxed attitude than I have the past couple of years. I just wanna enjoy myself & draw. 😛 - Sketched on paper & colored in using procreate. (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3GM_figdm6/?igshid=181mfcmmlofdg

Finally got the hang of balancing work + life responsibilities + making art. - My current focus is to draw & practice playing music daily, regardless of my schedule. I don’t like everything I make, but that’s ok, at least I’m creating. - Im trying to get back into the habit of sharing parts of my processes again too. Everything’s a WIP. - New video coming Friday about why I always ghost ppl/situations. 🤡 - #procreate #illustration (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2R0ej8goFf/?igshid=8y8x5gh9tpc7
