Since I’m sharing some art here already… here’s some black out poetry I did using a scan of “Face of Another” by Kōbō Abe. Also just makes it nicer to look at and more fun!

If you, like me, relive a memory until it becomes a part of you as surely as a bruise on your arm, blackout poetry may be for you! Took a landmark letter from a ways back and reduced, reused, recycled. Didn’t even have to write anything new!
Pressed on my bruise for long enough, and the pain faded away. still left with my arm

And you’re set for life (with the added effort of maintaining it).
I used to try to surround myself with people who I thought were cool and also tried so bad to fit in. I still do feel conscious about that sometimes when I front for a person I place on a pedestal or really am infatuated with (in a platonic way).
I’ve also had friends I get easily frustrated with who point out my mistakes as jokes but I’ve realised are super flawed and insecure. It becomes a relationship where you slowly turn into a projection of them. (I’m not sure how to phrase it). And I’m the kind that forgives very easily the moment someone is nice to me.
Howeverrrrr… over the past few years and more so over the past year I found a group of people I could be open and comfortable with… and I have to say an open and fulfilling relationship with the right people and friends will make you a much better person overall. I’ve also been so inspired by the circle of friends I’ve got now.
It’s not necessarily the friends who always ask you to go out to shop or hang but the friends who you do things with and talk about anything with.
Gratefully & Gratituously,
I love my friends.

With the checkerboard at the back? That’s right. I love using them unironically. And I love pictures of rocks.
