June entered abruptly after what had seemed like a never-ending season of isolation. June brought daylight and flowers and seasons of regeneration and love. I haven’t painted in words or colors as much recently, but June painted my eyelids with all shades of the sunsets I’ve missed. I imagine many of the corners of the world are left empty and dark. Turned upside down and inside out until we’re all tripping over each other’s grief. June didn’t promise for anything better, but June breathed heavy and harsh air into me and I can’t help but cough up its stories and daydreams.

“Mental illness turns people inwards. That’s what I reckon. It keeps us forever trapped by the pain of our own minds, in the same way that the pain of a broken leg or a cut thumb will grab your attention, holding it so tightly that your good leg or your good thumb seem to cease to exist.” - Nathan Filer, The Shock of the Fall

“Be sad! be glad! be neither! seek, or shun! Thou hast no reason why! Thou canst have none; Thy being’s being is contradiction.” - Samuel Taylor Coleridge, From Human Life, or the Denial of Immortality
