A very dark & vulnerable bit I wrote a couple months ago. It does end in hope. Prompt: "Shame Is..." inspired by the lyrics and poetry of @marylambertsing

I have not been making much art recently.
Its been survival mode for months on end.
Feeling the weight of the consequences of endless greed.
The creating that come from survival is often less tangible, it is hope and values and beliefs that need nurture
Constantly
Those are not creations I can take a picture of, or read to you
Those are creations that we feel intuitively and give power to through collective action
⚪️⚪️
In our survival, I believe the 'big greed' must create a couple more bottoms and only then can we as the people rise
And create the hope, beliefs and values that are the real power in this world
⚪️⚪️
Create hope with me

This is my first try at a fully DIY writers project and I’m holding the thrill and nerves heavy on my heart in anticipation.
I’m lucky to be sharing the stage for the release with @wordsandmusicbyalex@jemma.malisheskey@birdie_fenn_cent@jonathanevergreen@auntiedeath e
& Oscar Mejia

Sunday October 20th @rabbitboxtheatre
(Featuring my cat, Bobby, who loves to head-boop out my computer charger at every chance and thus a good portion of this story was typed one handed.)
It’s happening 😍 I externalized one of my daydreams in the form of a written story! I’ll be independently releasing it in Seattle, in the heart of Pike Place Market on October 20th along side some amazing talent @rabbitboxtheatre
🔵 The story is a fictional depiction of my journey from ages 16 to 22 touching on dark themes expressed through whimsical prose. 🔵
