my sweet sweet sweet isobel, your words heal wounds that i didnt even know existed, maybe thats how humans are connected, they complete each other in some form or other, i read this with blurred eyes, trying to hide behind the deep hurt and shame i have carried within myself for my broken strings of relationship with my parents, we talk but we dont connect, anger resentment then comes the hurt of being abandoned emotionally, your words put a soothing balm on my scorching soul, maybe i will be a little kind today, maybe i will be okay, i hope my daughter will forgive her mama too when she comes into this world one day, i love you and this isobel from one daughter to another, we are a goddamn force of nature, so incredibly strong<3

aw sweet lily 🫶🫶 your words touched my heart!!! there is such beauty behind the pain and shame we feel and art is the connecting force between one daughter to another. we are all burdened by these feelings, but art helps us understand these shapeless emotions more, and as a result, makes us feel less alone, which is what your words did for me💖
