@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 oh my gosh ur too sweet 😭 tbh i feel like i am incredibly lucky bc she is so chill 99.9% of the time haha but ty 🖤🖤🖤
@shade chill babes just means parents who aren't horrible and stressful which is apparently hard for folks??? too many ppl are yelling and pressuring all the time, go you!
@glitterwitch haha for real like i wonder how many kids wouldn’t be hellions if their parents just treated them like people who are just....learning how to be people....?
@shade according to wasps children are either decorations or burdens, but never actual humans, until they reach Age then are just expected to act like real ppl all of a sudden? logic.
