Omg Shay....the multiple waves of goosebumps are still ebbing and flowing as I sit after reading. There are no words, just waves and feelings to ride. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

I guess I'm glad it did? The sinking feeling at the pit of my stomach hasn't gone away when I thought it would after I put my emotions into words 💜

“If this is ruin… it is exquisite” boss line

A lot of whammies emphasized the buildup — carrying weight here Shay !

Awesome possum piece!

Shay Morgendorffer 👾's avatar

Thank you! One of my favorite lines that I ripped straight from my bottom of my very confused heart. Glad you enjoyed it 💜

Guttural produces some intense beauty in wordage… though I’m sorry it’s lived experience :(

Shay Morgendorffer 👾's avatar

Thank you, and it's perfectly fine, because the good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant 💜 I'd rather feel all the feels.
