The big rant part is so REAL though!! No one can truly be you, not even yourself. The whole "masking emotions" part, how people will never understand you because they're stuck with the impression they’ve made of you... Who are they to judge you if they don't even know you or how you think at all? And when you eventually break down, they say "It's not like you"; ofc they judge your moment of anger and then are disappointed in you! Don't let others eat your emotions. Sometimes it's better to let it all out. I especially do so through poetry. Feels nice, it helps me understand myself better. And about not being able to communicate your feelings with your own family... yeah. Ouch. They never realize what’s bothering you. And the self-criticism too... All aside, the stargazing minigame is uniquely cute! And about the comet poem, how you cannot remember details clearly, but there’s always that “prompt” or specific thing triggering your brain… Nice knowing I'm not the only thinking like this. But no one deserves to go through this; lucky are those who get listened to. so sorry for you...
I was so sad in class when I played this, I’m not kidding! Your words are truly impactful.
Btw sorry for the long comment!! D: I rarely write this much stuff lol, it’s just… so relatable.
Ooh, this is good! I really like the way the poem is presented but in general all the presentation feels good and thoughtful! It is scary putting out personal art (at least for me) so I hope you are doing OK <3
I very much enjoyed the "kinetic type" presentation of your poem.
Usually stews have a higher viscosity than soups. You can try mixing a little bit of flour, cornstarch, or some potato flakes into the broth to thicken it, or even cook some bones to extract the collagen. In all cases, the thickening effect will be rather subtle while you're cooking and become more pronounced after you allow it to cool a bit. Hope that helps! :)
I'm glad you liked it!! That poem is dear to me and I spent a lot of time trying to make it look fancy haha. And I still debated whether or not I should publish it at all lol. I don't know if I would've liked it as a standalone thing, so I think it's a good compromise to include it in this zine :>
I relate to the post about self compassion. I just read a book on it and I can't believe how I was before. I had to be prefect or I was a failure. I treat myself better now days. Love these types of decks!
Yes, I see exactly what you mean... sometimes, it requires an external eye to have a sort of wake up call and realize none of it was (or should be) normal. At least that's how it went for me, but I'm not quite there yet :')
Glad that you liked it! Hopefully I'll make more in the future haha

Although I'm sorry that my words made you sad, it's good to know they resonate with other people. We're in this together!

Thank you hehe!
I see! I use cornstarch sometimes, but I'm not a big fan of thick textures in general. Guess I'm more of a soup person then :)
I'm so happy to see another zine from you! It's lovely. Lots of beauty (the poem!) and lots of little things to think about.
