We’re sculpted from youth
The chipping away makes me weary
And as for the truth
It seems like we just pick a theory
The one that justifies
Our daily lives
And backs us with quiver and arrows
To protect openings
When the warring begins
How quickly the wide-open narrows

These photos were taken by my stepmom Connie. She picked all the best views.

Some days it seems like life is one long process of losing everyone I love.

Can I be happy anyway?

A first attempt at adding shading. Not thrilled with the results. It needs to be neater.
