thinking about all the “small” art that’s ever existed. songs that were only ever sung in one village. stories written by children that got lost in the shuffle. personal paintings that didn’t survive the test of time. how they affected the lives of just a few, but still existed, still mattered to someone.

this is not a sad post!!!! this is a celebration!!!!! art is part of the human condition!!!!!!! we were born to create and share!!!!!!!!!!!

i wish i could catalog everything comment or tag on this post because there are so many forgotten songs and poems people share here that are so unique and rare that i want to capture them all

growing up I was always afraid of being Found Out. not sure what I was hiding. just my whole self I guess

something i wish i had realized earlier: you can write poems on the same subject more than once. you can write, paint, draw the same thing over and over if you want to. you can spend your whole life making art about oranges. i think i always felt this pressure to get it right the first time like i couldn’t go back and use that inspiration again. but you can. you can go back and revisit it. you can pick up the conversation again and again if you have more to say.

can’t rly read anything the involves sibling death anymore after my sister was at msu during the shooting there

awful horrible night and she was physically fine and not near where the shooting happened (it was then two hours of not knowing where the shooter actually was. at one point they thought the shooter might have moved to the building they were in)

was a terrible night and i can’t think about it too hard

——————

being unable to read about sibling death is not going well for me while I’m in the middle of reading a Holocaust based on true story book with a bunch of siblings in it atm
