I had a pretty full amazing summer Q3. I went camping for the first time, glamping with the gayng, beautiful quality time with my people and saw my sister get ready to walk down the aisle. Something I’m focused on doing this Q4 is capturing me more. I noticed so much more lately people were like you get in the picture too! So see y’all next film dump with more of my face. ♥️

friends making the dump
friends making it out of the group chat
really REALLY good food
barfing in a dead plant’s pot
consequences of mixing liquor
consequences of being too soft
consequences of not resting
anime conventions
mf Chicago, baby
relishing in a 15 year long friendship
feeling grateful for how long friendships can last
mourning the ones that didn’t
being so moved by the most amazing art
being so hurt I made amazing art
turning up to cali beats with family
gross tequila (sad)
feeling inspired by others’ creations
feeling blessed to witness creation
fucking around and indeed finding out
prancing until I twisted my ankle
dancing until my thighs were sore
being ok with wanting to be romantic again, one day
plotting and planning
the beginnings of packing up a home
the procrastination of unpacking after a trip
Irish goodbyes

and the acceptance and understanding of our sensitivity—what it means to utilize that, exalt that, and protect that, fiercely.

Let’s Get into the Jams - For the 99’s and 2000’s film

I’ve been wanting to do this party for 5 years and it came at the perfect time. My goal was to gather some of my favorite people (and new people) in the name of nostalgia, getting away from adulthood for a night. We did just that. We danced, laughed, and had so much fun in our costumes.

@ekendrick43 had his first event with Soul Hops and it SOLD OUT! So proud of my brother. ✨

I pushed myself to do 3 projects I’ve always wanted to do as a way to show up for myself and I did it. ♥️ Would I suggest to do that in the timeframe? No. lol. But I’m proud of me. Thank you to everyone over the past 6-7 months who’ve supported this event, my exhibition, or even purchased a book. As I’m figuring out my next steps I know community and gatherings like this are so necessary. See y’all next time but until then let’s get into the jams 🎶✨
