Found out I'm gonna be out of work at my IRL job for Fall Semester too I do NOT know why I am ever (cautiously) optimistic about anything 💀💀💀

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Extreme burnout
-Basically giving up on my "career"
-Loss of community/connections in my field
-Deep social isolation of many flavors

2020s w skunkcabbages
-Covid mental breakdown city
-Discover CPTSD & abuse victim status
-Buy house, most stressful summer ever
-Break up w family, extreme grief/anger/etc
-Booster almost kills me, half dead for yr+
-Finally kinda ok, get hit by a car, spend wk in ICU, rehab, long-term recovery

Same. My extremely social, people-loving dad was stuck in Italy during the for-real lockdowns in a tiny apartment by himself when you'd get stopped by police going to the grocery store 😭

Same

I was meant to be a cool rocker that parties but unfortunately I got that Rapunzel upbringing that left me permanently damaged

Thisssss. Mine was so bad and so triggering and I had so many mental breakdowns and went through my abuse victim realization crisis in deep isolation, sometimes I can't believe I survived

Wow that's dreamy

SNACKIN

2020s got me deeply burned out & I have these projects hanging over my head that are full of so many trauma histories & finishing them will be important, & I've been Just Not Ready for so long, but sometimes I chip away at them and feel a bit of the ecstacy of creation this work used to make me feel

Dukkha x Knotwork x Shatter ladies night in Minneapolis

Knew exactly where this was before I read any of the text 🥲

All facts

I want to come back soon so bad!!! I was doing Big Event makeup for this tour and ended up drawing locust thorns on my face for all 3 shows

Hope your time in Hell is as short as possible! 🙏 It was a great night and I can't wait to come back

Got home last night. Currently in the Crying Stage of the post-tour comedown. Here's all 10 of us and our hosts in Minneapolis 💖
