It’s been on a very long hiatus from Tumblr/reality. TBH, I kind of lost the thread for a while there. I forgot about what was important, and more specifically, manageable. I took on too much. Too many responsibilities, too many projects, too many relationships, and it all came crashing down.
There’s so much I want to say about it, but I don’t know how without opening wounds or challenging the narratives that keep folx together.
I feel like I’m holding on to so much, and I want to get it out of me, but who wants to listen to me gripe about what I’ve been through these past 5 to 15 years?
Suffice to say that for me, December 2012 was absolutely the beginning of the end. So much of what I knew is gone and I’m only now beginning to have enough distance from it to be able to make sense from it.
I need a therapist prolly.
Suffice to say, things are better now. I am working on the longform comic project I doing as an imprint for the publishing company my friend and I started before she passed away. Her & Corrina’s work on Children of Lillith was so promising.
Her passing was a tragic time and it fucked me up so bad that I haven’t been able to write about it until now. Emma’s passing shattered my community and drove me into isolating with a person who was really bad for my wellbeing. I’d like to be in a place where I can experience gratitude for everything I learned from her
but I’m not there yet.
This is almost as an aside, but I go by they/them now. I’ve always been nonbinary, but it’s not something I’ve ever really expressed before, and it’s something I need to express. I’m not going to make a big deal of it but that’s what’s up. I mean, if you were paying attention to this Tumblr it would have been pretty obvious, but yeah. I’ll go into gender more eventually, but there’s so much ground to cover before that.
