"Tears don’t sting, they well; becoming salty against my lips. Not quite quenching thirst but instead connecting the tongue to the flavour of emotion."

Wow, I love the end, great piece!

Hi Gub. In everyday life, we often go along with the people around us, worry about how we’re being judged, and end up swallowing what we really feel 😭

Yess it’s also about public shaming - how easily it’s done in today’s culture over the internet say, without having to show face. I empathize with both sides

Good morning, Gub.Yeah, it feels like one of those situations where you can really see both sides—the ones calling it out and the ones on the receiving end.

No stopping here. “Suck the veins from inside my mind.” How did you come up with that? Brilliant.

Ah thank you! Honestly I looked up while writing at this unfinished art piece and well …not sure if it will show up but I’ve attached a pic.

Yes I don’t think comments will let me post pics but will send it to ya since you asked. Horrible art piece mind you likely why it’s unfinished haha!
