My toxic trait is to not touch a pencil in about two years and still expect to have improved since last time -- and then get upset when it turns out I in fact haven’t and immediately want to give up because it’s shit... But you know what, this is the year we shift our mindset from asking “am I good enough at this?” to “do I like doing this enough to be bad at it?” ... so here it is, that annoying image you can’t get out of your head until you’ve literally drawn it out of there. ⠀ Told myself I wasn’t going to draw the hair. Started drawing the hair anyway because apparently I’m a glutton for pain. Had a mental breakdown for about a month and a half. Came back and cried my way through the rest of it...

"That happens to everyone"

Dear able bodied people, When I talk to you about a symptom I am having that is related to my chronic illness, please do not respond to me by saying “that happens to me sometimes” or “that happens to everyone”.

Because no, not everyone has a chronic illness. When you say “that happens to everyone” it invalidates my disability, it erases my identity. When you say that, suddenly everyone becomes disabled. And if everyone’s disabled… Then disability doesn’t really exist because there wouldn’t be any able bodied people to distinguish us from. It erases the validity of our chronic illness, and it erases our disability.

When someone says “that happens to everyone” they’re actually saying “you’re not disabled. Stop faking it”.

So don’t say it.

COUNTRYSIDE LIVING ~

Currently house sitting mum’s house as she’s off on vacation. My days are filled with slow gardening and smelling the dhalias, and my evenings are spent enjoying the cool breeze on the wooden deck taking in the moon light.

I’m alive! I promise.

2022 has just proven to been one rough year and the last few months have been one rough thing after another. We’re moving forward though, slow and steady, and who can be mellow for too long with a tasty kanelbulle and some sunshine?

I’ll be the first one to admit that I love the comforts of travelling by car, but damn … there’s just something special about riding the train.

No one really talks about the weird kind of grief you’re left with when someone you didn’t care much for dies.

Like; I didn’t like you much and thought you acted like a selfish dick most of the time, but I still think it’s sad you passed prematurely, and I hope you’ve found peace.

Managed to snatch up a humble little harvest on my balcony before the September weather got to them.
