I don't have other artistic talent to turn to when writing won't come, but I do get a lot of satisfaction out of Duolingo (French and Portuguese); thrifting; framing random art, and rearranging books/school supplies/toys. Sometimes it feels like giving my hands something to do that makes a physical difference (or keeping my brain busy with language stuff) helps unlock the angsty part of me that is sure I will never write again.
Both the poem and the little painting are lovely.

Japanese Anemone are my favourite ❤️ Here's to the magic of creating, whatever form it takes.
One of my favourites too.
