here’s the full camouflage experiment i was making. i’ve drawn it a week ago but i kept fixing the colors until recently and photoshop is a nightmare for multi layered animation so it took a while… (hope the gif actually looks ok on your device)

May you be released from wanting things that aren’t meant for you.
the desire to be in a relationship only comes around when you’re about to sleep, on the journey home alone, sundays, after the club, when it’s raining, winter, at the cafe, today, tomorrow and yesterday
it’s both comforting and heartbreaking that over time you will slowly forget the little details of someone you once loved so deeply until their memory is just a hazy blur like a dream you once had and can’t quite remember anymore
