How I spent Memorial Day.

Thank you to all who served, are serving or are going to serve <3.

I nestled into a nice spot in Fairmount Park along the Schuylkill River. 

and enjoyed a blank canvas and my wonderful easel =)

im going to re-work the top half...but this is it right now..

inspired by:

"Reign on Vegas"

I also got to kill some time inside Anthro...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

these flowers are on my to-do list. I picked up a free book at the library today, (there was a whole box of them, i don't know why i didn't take the whole thing!),  called "The beauty of Weapons" it's filled with poems from 1972 to 1982. Cant wait to dive into it and pick some moving words to use in whatever piece I make!

^^^^^^^^^^^^

fountains in the city, its going to be a beautiful summer.

I am loving having myself back.

Thank you to those didn't just hear me, those who listened

and know me well enough to know something was serious.

Who let me tell unsettling things to without judgement or disappointment.

I know they were not the easiest things to hear,

and they were not the easiest things to say,

but letting them out released so much fear, confusion and angst. 

I am the luckiest person to have such great, loyal people in my life.

Although Im not 100% myself yet, I'm getting close.

Slowly but Surely.
