Don’t give in like I did!! Stay strong! 😭😂

I relapsed and went back onto Twitter this week 😭 I’m so sorry Bsky, I couldn’t resist. I missed talking about the new One Piece chapters with my friends who didn’t migrate to Bsky lol It’s just not the same here for that community 😭😭

Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']:

Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.

Gandalf the White saying, "Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth"

me when any program's AI assistant asks me if I want help writing:

A reference to a scene from the Simpsons. A billboard is covered in pictures, blocking the message just enough that it says “Do it for him” as motivation. The pictures are of Foxy, the villain pirate from One Piece.

Foxy is sooo stupid but that’s why I love him. 🤣

I ordered my brother a Christmas gift back in November and it finally arrived today. 😭😭

Anyway, in case you were wondering, the A24 film studio sells interesting gifts and merch lmfao

I got a new journal that has 365 pages so I can journal one page a day. One page is perfect to get back into regular journaling because anymore than that and I’ll feel pressured to write more and eventually stop entirely. 😅

I’ve got 7 full pages written already! Very proud of myself for that 🥰

Sun flurry is pretty cute hehehe

It’s snowing while the sun is out! What would you even call that? When it rains with the sun out, we call it a sun shower, but what about snow? lol

A pair of hands grip the green grass, clover, and garlic mustard vines as if trying to hold on tightly. The direction that the body is moving in just out of view of the camera and is obscured.

A self portrait on film from my project, “Thank You For Loving Me.”

What I like about this shot is that you can’t quite tell if I’m pulling myself forward or holding on as if I’m being dragged back.

As described, illustration, Moomintroll is up at the break of day looking perturbed. Furniture in the room has taken on animated shape.

Morning.
Moomintroll wakes up in Moominland Midwinter, Tove Jansson.

Babyyy 🥹💖

Still riding that high of talking to my friend who called me unexpectedly to chat & catch up the other day. I miss her since we live so far away from each other now. SUCH a huge mood booster when I didn’t even realize I was feeling down. 🥰

Grey eyes over here with ya
😞🤝 I wear contact lenses pretty much full time so I can wear my protective sunglasses for my weak, baby eyes 😂

Cheers! 😊

Love this. Looks like an illustration for a children’s book!

An older J.R.R. Tolkien, smiling at the camera in the most Tolkien-esque tweed jacket you've ever seen. By this point in his life, he was basically Bilbo Baggins. Photo credit: AP.

J.R.R. Tolkien went so hard on his weird hobby that it became a defining moment in the literary history of the 20th century. May he be an inspiration to us all.

Happy Birthday, JRRT!

It looks so good!! 💖

Hehe thanks 🫶

Happy New Year 🎊

Hell yeah! Congrats, dude 🔥

The animal crossing new horizons town square New Year’s Eve celebration setting off fireworks that day 2025 and an electric sign that reads Happy New Year! Al the villagers in their party hats waves glow sticks to celebrate the new year and cheer.

My husband and I were dozing off before midnight so we quickly logged in to ACNH to use the town square as a countdown so we didn’t fall asleep. 😂

🎊 Happy New Year! 🎊

Thank you so much 🥰

Thank you so much!! 😊🫶

A self portrait. Two hands form the shape shape of a butterfly, reaching up towards the sun through a pink, blooming rhododendron bush. Inspired by the One Piece character, Nico Robin.

A landscape view of mountains and the Hudson Valley. A giant rain cloud can be seen over the valley, pouring rain in the distance. However, the rain clouds break up over the mountain, revealing the sunlight.

Titled, Monster. A self portrait using my shadow. My shadow casts on the bottom part of a mossy tree trunk. My hands are raised over my head and my fingers are sprawled out. My shadow is distorted to show ambiguity - is it a bug with pincers? A deer with antlers? A woman dancing ballet? Inspired by the One Piece character Chopper.

A view down a dirt path in a forest surrounded by a tunnel of trees. The beginning of the path is shrouded in shadow. However, as the path continues on, the sunlight breaks through the trees in a golden glow, illuminating the way in the golden hour light.

Here’s a couple of favorites that I shot in 2024 for my ongoing photo series called,
“Thank You For Loving Me” -
a personal project that explores living with anxiety, PTSD, and the desire to keep living.

All images shot on 35mm film with my Pentax K1000.

Your forever sleep Is interrupted by a lengthy dream that is still too brief. The dream is mostly pain. It is the self investigating whether it's truly sane. I've thought about the oceanic redeemed, But the water's darker than it first seemed. Everything that is lies in the heart of magnificent, terrible dreams. I want to live. I want to build. I want to give. I want to form the little seams that make up Other people's dreams and you must Let passion quell The constant beckoning from Hell. Let dreams of others cure your sight. I want to stay. I want to fight. I want to live. No decisions made. If there is fate then it is lenient with how it's really played. Time has gentle touch. You can remember what it felt like when it all seems too much There is nothing that will tether you here. The purpose of the dream is not very clear. And when I learned of this purposelessness I felt sure there was nothing to fear.
