this hit me so hard emotionally, and I was just left absolutely speechless. it feels so honest and genuine, and sincere.

(and the Knicks part at the end was a big mood booster too lol)

So beautiful! I love these “not love letters” pieces. The first one was the first post of yours I read and the reason I subscribed. This one is just as beautiful as the last. It’s sweet and inspiring to see you take an honest, beautiful look at relationships—even those that ended badly. Your deft interweaving of beauty and brokenness is poignant and astute. Thanks for your honesty and for sharing your “overexposed photograph” memories.

Thank you! I find beauty and brokenness juxtaposed in all of my art - I guess it takes a little bitterness to realize how sweet something is. Thank you for reading and I'm glad you enjoy these.

This reads beautifully. Almost like a music video actually. Did you ever finish shooting it? Because I would love to see it.

We did film the whole thing and I completed a rough cut, but I wouldn't want to post and expose anyone's identity. Sorry.

Something similar happened to me and yeah it hurts and it lingers in my thoughts now and again, but time heals. But damn it hurts too.
