@glitterwitch idk tbh i just don’t think about it anymore and maybe that makes me a little lucky. i’m just a contrary aries lol. but i know my art makes people happy, and it makes me happy. and my partner is incredibly supportive.

when i do feel down i just remind myself of the progress i’ve made, and i’m taking care of a tiny human! and i realize i’m “working” more than i realize even if it’s not “normal” socially accepted work or whatever

@shade I'm always very proud of you for doing art and taking care of yourself and babe! anyone doing childcare or other ppl care is a big hero imo I can't even imagine such things and your babe is such a sweet one.
@glitterwitch also tbh i feel the same way toward you when you talk about being active in your community 🖤
@shade I dunno how active I really am. I go to a few meetings and like the one conference but it's pretty lonely out here and i don't get to the big city or anything very often. I try tho 💙
@glitterwitch you do what you can tho and that’s what counts! totally get the lonely thing tho 🖤
