Hi, its been a while. I been to a few sj made but never had the courage to say hi to you in person. I have had similar experiences and trauma and thats a whole different bag. Just showing solidarity? Since we last spoke, I found out I have cancer and that, unfortunately, brought back people i tried to cut away from back into my life. Whether its because I desperately needed the help or they felt an obligation to me or both. But its been a lot. I gave my bear (not blanket but teddy) to someone I thought I could trust. I have people I could trust but they’re not physically present. Not their fault. Life is complex but also paradoxically simple. Our (us) metric for success lies in $$ but thats no life. No quality of living. (Look at quality of life in the world chart). If we had our basics guaranteed, then we would live. Like plants and flowers. But even without a guarantee, they can still live. Some call them weeds but many can be edible or even delicacies if you have the know how. Not even plants, look at lobster and how its now elevated to fine dining. Anyways, just know to me, your artworks and whatever… vague abstract/concrete whatever; I wholly support however/whenever I can. You’re you. There will be good days and bad days but you’ve made it. Survived it? So far. And im glad.

It may be once every few months, or maybe not for a very long time and then a bunch all at once. My feelings don't really have a schedule. :')
