Isn't It Ironic
Don't you think?
I created this section of the blog (and have since deleted said section) to give myself a place to post more frequently about the daily ins and outs of life as a working artist; somewhere I can pop in and post things I used to share on Facebook, without the need to turn each post into an essay.
And then ironically Substack announced their notes feature on the same day, giving me pause over whether this section was even necessary.
After watching the threads in my notes feed, I’m going ahead with my original intent.
At the same time, I got hit with a flareup of some major gut issues, landing me in the ER last weekend. In hindsight, I ignored some pretty big red flags it was giving me. I’m still in the midst of finding my way through it, but it strikes me as a bit ironic too, that I write about trusting your gut, intuitively speaking, while ignoring what my actual gut was trying to tell me.
Did I mention that I see metaphor in everything? Life is beautiful and wonderful and hard. Art is such an apt way to make sense of it all.
