Juneteenth: 152 Years Ago...

This is what it looks like when your surrounded by love but don’t know how to feel it

I threw an Open House Art Auction! There’s more to come

I once painted a canvas with a boy
We made art together 
That boy was not nice
One day I punched a hole through the canvas
He apologized and I forgave him
I picked up the pieces to the canvas I destroyed 
I taped it together 
I stapled
It was something new Later on this boy popped up
Well he didn’t pop up
I messaged him
And he kept responding
I guess
Secretly he did as I hoped
So I forgave him again
And thought to make the art we made
And I destroyed 
Into something even newer
I took the canvas
And let the pieces that fell apart
I took some photos 
That I destroyed and reassembled 
(Clearly this dude made me crazy)
And let those pieces fall apart 
I put them all together on a new canvas
Something to commemorate the journey
And still acknowledge that it was a journey This boy finally admitted
He was not just a boy
He was not nice
He was A boy who didn’t belong in my life 
I took the canvas apart once again
I took off the old torn painting
I took off the reassembled torn pictures
I took off the little Knick Knacks I added along the way
I torn it all apart and was left
With a blank canvas I replaced that blank canvas with a work of art
With a person
Who I think is myself
If not me entirely 
Then a little bit of me I took that blank canvas and filled it
I filled it with me
My heart
My feelings
I put the thing in the space that should’ve taken up that actual space in the beginning
I filled the blank canvas with love
With admiration 
I filled it with a face 
A face I did not pay attention to
A face I should’ve looked at more
A face I saw 
A face I now see I think Maybe I’m projecting
Maybe I’m interpreting my own art wrong 
But 
this is how it made me feel. 🖤✌🏾

I’ve been working with the Bearded Ladies Cabaret for the last two months and it’s allowed me to re-come out. Or just accept that I’m accepted everywhere I go. And the people who see me see me, and love me .

In the mist of it all

I shine

In the space of existence

I float

I swim

I tred

I become

I move though time

As my own light

I move with grace

I stumble

I fail

I make wrong turns

But each step I take

Is the right one

The journey is even more

If not

Just as

Important as the unknown destination

.

.

A beam of being slides through the universe

What would you call such a happenstance?
