Anxiety
Feeling left out
Fighting to be relevant
Walking a fine line of appearing desperate
Want to scream that digital is not the solution
Short term yes
But not mid-long term
Looking for solutions
Took a risk
Ideas surfaced
Shaped them into words
Tangible sketches
Thought starters
Felt a sense of validation
And relevancy
A calming
And clearing
Good talk with dad
For a moment, it feels normal
Until I turn on the news
The dictator is emerging in force
Claiming rights that don’t exist
Words that will be in history books
Hard to believe this is real life
Food
I’ve gained weight
I feel wider and fuller and yet…I still eat not so wonderfully
Eating for relief
For something to look forward to
And hate that that can’t be art
