Good afternoon! I am here to tell you that through a series of events your favorite oversharer got some collages published in a lit mag! It's Wrongdoing Magazine's inaugural issue and you can download a copy to read on their site. I had three collages published in all alongside some other really cool art and many, many pieces of fiction and poetry. I really feel like everyone will find something to like in there.
Additionally, I want to thank @dianahurlburt for bringing me to their attention. My collages, unlike my writing, are only ever made with myself in mind. I make them because there are some things I can't find words for, because sometimes I'm itchy and I don't know why, because change is both hard and inevitable and I need to give myself the space to accept that. I do share them, but I never really expect anyone else to truly enjoy them, and the idea that people do makes me a little verklempt.
Thanks to anyone who has ever looked at these small pieces of my heart and said 'yeah, that's nice.' It's hard to believe that I'm capable of capturing that sometimes, as the one person who knows all the dark and complicated parts of myself. But then, I guess everyone else has those craggy interiors too and sometimes it's just nice for someone to put a cloud on it and let it go.
