It was great. ↗

I am not so different in my history of abandonment from anyone else after all. We have all been split away from the earth, each other, ourselves. ↗

Then I abandoned comics for fine art because I had some romantic vision of being like Vincent Van Gogh Jr. ↗

When my children were born, I didn't have them baptized because I felt baptism was about erasing Original Sin - something the Church said children got from their mother - and I absolutely refused to believe women carry Original Sin. ↗
