hey you. it's been a long time. come sit. rest your feet.
I've missed this place. its comfort. how many stretch marks these poems have symbolized. growing too much too fast with all y'all.

it's been an obscene amount of time since i last checked this place and read things. i miss it of course, but in the way we miss things that we know have lived their course all the way through. seeing how horrendous my devwatch looks today, i'll be going through all the visual pieces but please leave a comment with written pieces you are most proud of :heart:
