if you feel you wasted this year, i promise you didn't. rest and relaxation and recovery is worth all the time in the world. time spent lost to mental illness, abuse, etc is not your fault. you have so much time to thrive. you'll get closer this year, i know it.
things you can do at any stage in life:
- love yourself
- have a fresh start
- go back to school
- recover
- make new friends
- fall in love
- go to therapy
- learn a skill
- discover your passion
- repair relationships
- change the world
- find a new hobby
- be happy
it isn’t too late for you. you’ll be okay. there’s no time limit on happiness.

Him look so grumpy! I wanna be grumpy friends together with him
Been working super hard on myself and made a ton of progress over the last two months especially and I don't know if it's the holiday or or that my narcissist has taken notice but wheeeew! They've gotten worse (I hear this is normal for them when you finally start handling them like they don't exist or matter).
Taking a day for my feels because grief on top of my grief and just plain exhausted by that person on rapid fire mode. I'm not gonna be brought down though.
If I got any gift from a crow I would keep it forever, I would affix these to the front door so they know I love and cherish them.

As the year is ending soon... this is your friendly reminder that you didn’t waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort, any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of. 🤎

Damn it every time I'm tempted to vent about something I remember a certain reverse search leads here ugh. I don't think anyone in my life is that weird to pay for the full link but it still makes me uncomfortable.
People's soft art and now all of a sudden I want to change the color palette of the piece I'm working on again lol
Lohtu💧
A colored ink on watercolor paper painting for my solo exhibition in the fall of 2023. I wanted to depict a variety of emotions and feelings in the pieces I made for this show. Lohtu is Finnish and means ‘solace’.
