Let's cry sometimes, together

I had a little interaction over at the local ~health.mental monthly meeting that sprouted the idea of trying to create a kind of poetry/illustrated book together.

Original comment, for reference

I moved back to my parent's place, and mentally that has been hard because of past trauma issues related to the place.

But I've come up with many coping mechanisms and meditate a lot. So that has been helping.

But I still cry sometimes.

I think the cadence is kind of sweet and an interesting base to tell small stories (either as part of a larger story or independent) from daily life.

As I wrote there I think having each spread of the book in the same format will drive the point across best: that no matter how life is, sometimes we cry and that's probably a good thing.

Well, let's see if we can come up with similar short stories, or just talk about the idea, or share a drawing that you'd like to show us that you think would fit.

copyleft or -right? Honestly, I cba, but sure that might be something to discuss down the line, maybe, but assume everything posted will get scraped/stolen/used as always :*

    A possible verse...

    A possible verse...

    Today I have cleared my todo-list before lunch. There are many more things to do, but they have their time planned.

    Now I'm laying besides a lake listening to the wind playing in the trees and watching the calming movements of the water.

    But I still cry sometimes.
