Once again this year I am doing my own thing. #InktoberTangles2024

I’ve really been enjoying Hena’s YouTube videos. Thanks Hena!

This is what my mother and I don’t talk about: That it is not my fault she is so profoundly unhappy with her life. That she had a chance to know me — really know me, as an adult and an artist and a human being — and she blew it. That I have not regretted our estrangement for one single second; in fact, I keep waiting for the regret to appear and being surprised when it doesn’t.
