notes: i'm also hoping to read more of the joy harjo collection i'm working through tonight. i'm trying to make thinking deeply about art a regular part of my life (which is part of why i post art i like) and i haven't made time for poetry in a while. i'd like to get better at writing my own and the only way to do that is to learn from others!

i’m almost certain this is a black bear but it’s absolutely massive! this picture must’ve been taken late in the year. i always feel so bear-like when i lay down with my head on my arms… truly the most classic way to nap

i hate to admit it but 15-19 yr old me really just needed to grow up. so many of my problems were just from the situation that being that age puts you in socially, shifting from total dependence to the semi independence i have now, and not knowing how to form an identity. there’s plenty else that was wrong and still is, but a lot of it just melted away as i grew out of it. and im sure i still have plenty of growing to do!
