Falling Skies
It rains and it pours.
Chicken little or Henny Penny depending on how often you frequented the coop (or where you heard this folk tale ) , in the high-stakes world of poultry paranoia, one misplaced acorn was all it took to trigger a total atmospheric meltdown. The sky was falling down .
Henny penny reminds me of how I’ve felt throughout this year. This crazily horrible and confusing year. My world seemed to be crushing down ( a part of it actually did), I misunderstood a lot of things and people. I misunderstood many of my feelings- which made emoting or giving others grace really hard. It made giving myself grace really hard.
Cocky Locky: Who didn’t ask questions. Ducky Lucky: Who just went with the flow. Goosey Loosey: Who was apparently also not a scientist and Foxy Locsy : with a sly smile and spacious cave all happened to be embodied by I through out this year. At least my vague memory of it.
Here is a finished piece from ENJU and my 25 reminders from 2025.
25 from 2025
If tragedy didn’t kill me, nostalgia surely will.
take what belongs to caesar or you’ll have nothing.
Love, is everything .
Hold your tender heart with tenderness
call your parents . tell them you love them
let my sisters hug me more (its more for them lol )
say yes when you mean yes, and no when you mean it
learn to drive. move your body. yes trauma can be stored in the hips but you have to strengthen your left hook too. (don’t stop boxing / Muai Thai)
Make friends
cry
laugh even more
Be silly
drown in optimism
there is no bad day to have a white forest sweet treat from yummies
reach out when they cross your mind. You have no control over their response
buy yourself flowers
buy people flowers
write. read. consume art. (mindfully)
cut your coat XXL
Make propaganda about the things you love
explore
Good things take time
you’re enough
When in doubt, hop out of the bed turn your swag on, take a look in the mirror and say ‘‘wassup’’
Just like rice, there will always be love at home
happy new year cuties,
with love ,
AlM


never eating white forest cake but I will indeed wake up everyday and turn my swag on. Don’t know why I haven’t been doing that already.
Just like rice... Looks for rice today. Thanks
