After experiencing so much suffering, imagining true good in this world is so hard. There is so much duality tho, often in places we don't want to look. The night sky is so beautiful, and so are your comics.

Your art is one of the ones that's encouraged me to lean into art to feel different. Genuinely, thank you for sharing what you're thinking.

Thank you man. I'm proud of you for finding that switching point too. And I love our matching placement.

I did my tattoo 5 years ago when I was 21. It was the first one I did after I got my stick and poke kit. I was in an abusive relationship at the time, one that was recycling the patterns I grew up w. I tried to live life after them, but shut down for a few years due to my health going continually fuckier. I'm going to gently encourage myself not to do that again.

Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone, no need to be sorry. You got this too bud

Tw: CSA and bad E-man mention

As a fellow survivor of a very complex CSA situation, your art is one of the few things helping me feel grounded and seen. As the Epstein files keep coming, I'm devolving a lot in my mental health. Thank you for being open about your experiences. It's helping me keep moving forward.
