Honesty and Gratitude (contains content warning) (Patreon)

Today is the first of the June, and what a month May was! In Rochester we had snow on the ground, followed by 90+ heat twelve days later. May is one of my absolute favorite months of the year but if I'm being honest I'm very thankful it's behind me.

Speaking of thanks, thank you.

It's not at all lost on me that people are continuing to pledge to this Patreon during a time of economic and social turbulence. The entire world changed! but you're still here and that means a lot. I especially want to thank Alex and Rachel, who are are the first new pledges since July of 2019! Say hello in the comments, if you're so inclined! 

CW: Trauma

Honesty time. Ugg. UGG...

...I have been undergoing Trauma-focused therapy for the past six weeks and it is kicking all of my entire ass. I do not enjoy it. The process makes me want to run and hide, and it is by sheer force of will that I write about it here. The more people know, the more I talk about it, the easier (I think?) it's supposed to be. Exposure therapy, they call it.

My assignment was to write out my most traumatic incident with as much detail as I can muster, and read it every day until my next session (this Thursday). Today is the 6th day. I'm exhausted, livid, and frightened all the time.

That's why I haven't been producing my own art/content, even though I want to. If I have seemed quiet, that's why.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for understanding.

Thank you for everything.
