genuinely i think the hardest thing ive ever had to learn in my life is that even the relationships (platonic, familial, etc) that you thought were strongest and relied most heavily on can disintegrate in the right circumstances like yes even the one you think that could never happen to. and that's something i learned when i was already YEARS deep in aro theory and activism bc it's just that ingrained that you Should have that permanent safety net and yeah maybe you should and it doesn't mean you shouldn't invest in people and relationships and it doesn't make transitory relationships less important it literally just is a fact that the Only specific person you can Always rely on is yourself and that's okay. alexa play no one is alone from into the woods.
this has probably been done before but idc im curious
(using "people who chose their own name" instead of mentioning trans people specifically because not all trans people change their name and not everyone who changes their name identifies as trans)
(if you have multiple names, pick an option based on whichever one you like)

hate how so much of adult friendship relies on updates, experiencing your life through pictures and tidbits. we had it good with childhood friends, could spend years and years basking in the same circumstance. now i just float through clouds of strangers, hungry for something solid and warm. yes i carry your heart within mine, yes i see the world through your eyes. but in that very moment i still feel alone, still know it's poor substitute for same room, twin smiles.
occasionally when discussing lunches and dinners and other such wonders i get the feeling when i say "Soup" i mean another persons definition of "Stew", and our communication is somewhat skewed. please tell me how you identify your wet meals
if you so desire, detail your decision With the place you grew up/learned your distinction in the tags

Happy Valentine’s Day!
A dream of mine is to eventually complete an entire tarot deck - at least the major arcana. This is the very first of them - The Lovers. I experimented with creating depth by bringing the tail loops up off the ground fabric but maintaining my stitches as seamlessly as possible.
This piece is one of the largest I've made to date, measuring twenty inches tall by ten inches wide. It was so difficult!!!!
