Last night I went to a themed life drawing class with Studio Maverik in Fortitude Valley. The theme was Midsummer Night’s Dream. The play is special to me because that was the first Shakespeare play I read and also the first ballet I saw 💫

little fix i did for a broken (or missing you might say) zipper. remember scoubi strings? i did seven stitches (idek what to call them, braids?) for luck 🍀
So the other day the police were knocking on our door. And they came in and it turned out my little sister had committed suicide. And just before I found out I was thinking how I’d seemed to have seen a lot of mentions of cherry blossoms. And I was listening to Lana Del Rey’s song Cherry Blossom the night before. So now in my head it’s kind of her song.
Sometimes when I draw flowers I like to look at the meanings of them and kind of incorporate them into little spells of manifestation. One of the meanings of cherry blossom is “return to me”, but obviously that’d be a futile wish.
I recently stayed in a motel and they had nice turquoise tiles in the bathroom. I then went on a walk I found these queen’s wreath flowers so I took a photo with my Nikon ✨
“lol but why is this actually good” because i made it in earnest?? because i loved it??? because i love you??? because quality and humor are not mutually exclusive???? hold my hand. it’s okay
