They are like moons, the gravitational pull weakens, and I watch each planet float back into the infinite dark.
Nothing was ever mine forever, but sometimes I wish it so.
A galaxy emptier by the day. I am only to wait patiently for the next cosmos to collide with me.
I am closing another chapter in my life and thus leaving my small ecosystem I've been developing for the past 2 years. Walking through campus I try to retrace my steps to building and bars that reek with emotion. A scent trail of a younger version of me.
I pass by houses and look at the window, replaying them and I, us and them, looping into eternity like a film. If I were to relive those precious moments, I wouldn't be able to enjoy them as much. After all, I was lying to myself the entire time. I know that now.
I never complied with change. My body has a personal vendetta against the flow of time.
Even as a child, transitioning from grade to grade came with waves of mental turmoil. As if it was a punishment for myself to grow. Ripping my safety and friends away from me with every year, leaving me alone, scrambling towards another ledge to hold onto.
I won't be gone forever, and by all means I will keep communication with those who I want to keep in my life, and those who wish to keep me in theirs. But our words won't be spoken in the same room for a long while.

You've got such a way with words... and paired with the drawings, I can't lie, I feel like I'm made of glass. It is powerful stuff.

oh god... i don't know why but text in combination with sketches gave me the shivers it hits hard
i also want to add that the patterns really embellish the pages i find it interesting to examine them and draw comparisons for example some of the sharp elements remind me of a fish skeleton or a sickle while others look more like human figures or something in a liquid or gaseous state so i'm curious to know if you put any meaning into them or let your subconscious take over

I never thought of it that way!
I suppose it’s more of highlighting things that contrast with each other. Soft and sharp. I love contrast in my drawings - meshing opposing things.
