I wish i could bring your mom back and ask her to paint you.
I'm not picturing a collage. I'm actually picturing individual portraits of people from the forum. I have no idea what I'm capable of at this point, but I like the idea of doing something that isn't about me trying to heal, but that takes me out of myself. It would obviously be a long project. Even when I was healthy I would gather photographs for paintings and they wouldn't become finished works until a few years later. It would be a project that I could work on when I have the energy and feel inspired. And it would be a project that I feel passionate about. I feel passionate about you all and about the reality of this and sharing it with others. I feel passionate about educating people and I feel passionate about how beautiful you all are, even in this dark period of our lives.
