I've been working on patience,
Trying to trust in the timing of my tiny existence,
I come alive,
I stood still in the twilight,
I found peace in the quiet things,
How could I wish away all the in between?

Lately I’ve been listening to Kina Grannis’ “In the Waiting,” along with her commentary regarding her song (which I highly recommend for the heavy feels). What I appreciate from this artist is that despite the life struggles and hardships, she handles them with such gentleness and grace, something I find rare and extremely difficult to accomplish. However, it’s something that I strive to do.
It’s definitely easier said than done. But I want to continue to remind myself that, even if I’m not where I want to be or haven’t found what I’m looking for, the most I can do now is enjoy what life presents to me: this uncertain but (sometimes) exciting journey, where I am, with my loved ones by my side.
Thank you @kinagrannis for your thoughtful and beautiful words ☺️
"Behind the scenes" inktober thumbnails 👍
I've been playing this escape room series lately, called "Rusty Lake." I highly recommend it for the puzzle solving and for the spooks! Also dark shadowy figures is my cup o tea 🙂
Meet the Fun Gang!
I played Deltarune recently and all I can say is, Toby Fox strikes again! These characters are too lovable and I want to know more about the story 😭
Just wanted to say that i adored your comic about grief. it just really got me in the Feels with how much emotion you conveyed in it. i might be projecting lol but thank for making it, hope you’re well 💙☕️
Thank you so much 💙 It looks like the comic resonates with many others and I'm glad that it's been helping during this time.
Day 20: Squeeze
At this point, anything with snakes and angel blondes (combined) is considered Good Omens fanart ✨🐍✨
Here’s week 3 of this year’s inktober ☻
Day 31: Slice (feat. last year’s last inktober for comparison)
And that concludes this year’s inktober! This month actually went by faster than I expected, so I was surprised that Halloween is already here.
I hope everyone has a nice and safe Halloween! 🎃 But even if you don’t celebrate, I hope you have a good Wednesday 👋
I made this piece a few months back and it took me enough mental strength to finally post what I have. The older version seemed somber and still, so I intensified the melancholy look, on how grief and heartache can continue to hold on after the moment(s) has passed.
But instead of trying to "Not think about it" or forget, sometimes it's best to get in tune with how you're feeling, imagining this feeling like a temporary visitor. Sit with it, hold its hand, tell it, "I see you, I hear you," and when you're ready, let them leave, until the next time if or when they come back.
Here's to peace, here's to healing, and here's to feeling your feelings this holiday season ✨
I recently caught up with the new Steven Universe episodes and golly, things are getting REAL INTENSE 💎
