Thanks for writing this, I loved reading it. I can’t wait for your new album as well, have listened to your songs on repeat for years now. Looking forward to more substacks too!
I'm reading this while Biking plays in the background, and it fits the mood perfectly. I can really feel the emotions in your drawing—those moments of emphasis and even slight doubt in your pencil strokes, just as you described. That's what makes art so personal, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I've admired your work for years, and it's always a joy to see your creative process unfold.
i will leave you be for now, call on my name if you ever need me.
over the years, you’ve said that you felt lonely—i always want to spell it out, yet i wait on you (i want to so badly spell it out now, yet i like that you find yourself in your own time. I won’t rush you).
it’s all in your time. my door, my heart is always open.
i say this just in case you need another shoulder to lean on—with depression/anxiety, everyone copes differently and i like to check on you just to make sure you’re okay. 💖
i know the sensitivity of your heart. that’s why i don’t change much in my life—my family is the same way.
always ordinary. always familiar.
i like that one song “ordinary” by copeland. there’s two versions—i listen to one or the other depending on how much i want to cry (give them both a listen if you have the time). ⏱️
whenever you need me, i will be waiting for you at jerusalem. ✝️
much love. 💕

When I need a break, I listen to music, recently I really enjoyed the guitar work of Raphael Groten, and the song called 'Stillness', from his Inner Sanctum series. I suppose music is the last place you want to be, after spending all day there, but your art work seemed to be good for you. It's always finding workable ways to refresh oneself, sometimes, just smelling coffee beans takes me to a good place.
love love love this and the way you put feelings into words.
i feel immense doubt and anxiety whenever i finish a piece of art - should i share this with someone or should i keep it to myself? is this piece done in a way that fully encompasses the message i crafted in my head, or is it a misrepresentation of my jumbled thoughts? i guess it has something to do with me finding it hard to be vulnerable… even though i get to hide between words and melodies, they sometimes still don’t feel safe enough.
i honestly don’t do anything but sit with it. i sometimes journal through it. or i switch an art form to clear my head.
