2021

2021 Was an intense year. It was filled with so much rebuilding, growth, and change. I began my deconstruction journey in mid-2020 and really rebuilt my faith beliefs over 2021. We moved, I grew another human, and created so much art, all of which was shown in either a gallery or publication of some form. We identified plants, foraged, and created tinctures. We collected more bones and built altars. There was SO much therapy and a good deal of crying but it lead to healing. I discovered codependent tendencies within myself that affected major areas in my life and hindered my communication and my wellbeing. Through creating boundaries and healing these tendencies I was able to create healthier patterns and become a healthier person. Making these changes was painful at times and came at great cost to me and my family but they also allowed me to find my tribe, discover a more authentic belief system, and, most importantly, I found myself. I'm tentatively hopeful for 2022 and what it may bring. It was hard but I’ve honestly never been more at peace with myself or my reality. Here is to 2022.
