My writing & art has went viral on substack 3 times now lol its surreal

I’m excited to read “Man and His Symbols” by Carl Jung~ i’ve been wanting to dive into his oeuvre forever! I constantly see people through the lens of their ego and their shadow, I simply can’t unsee it. I understand my unconscious reactions through this lens as well, which leads to self-awareness & development. So many people operate out of the ego.. judgement, superiority complexes, &projection- Which is a direct result of their social conditioning. Its not conscious, but its destructive to the self & others. Its not a common perspective bc people often operate out of repressed fear.

Sometimes I look at my books like mirrors. At times I avoid my own reflection within the pages. But then, eventually, I look at it as an evolution- A museum of all the lives I have lived and all the people I have been. And maybe, at one point, my novels were my saviors, rescuing me from being unheard and misunderstood, the anchor tying me to my imagination when the real world threatened to erase my meaning..

The unconscious is a cavern, and the artist is its sacred explorer. Art is what we return to the surface… treasures, artifacts, and talismans of our soul.

Many moons ago I made perfumes and sold them. Since I need a new fragrance, i’ve been thinking of recreating my all time favorite perfume, a historical recipe from 1700s versailles courtesans that contains french lavender and cacao, a discontinued scent. Also i’m considering recreating my favorite discontinued body oil called “Pluto Potion” with patchouli, orange blossom, and ylang ylang. I’ve hoarded the last of these scents over 6+ years just for a snippet of nostalgia.

Junk journaling

“—Society falls like a sack from the sky, burying the blanketed city in fumes of atomic glow. Meteors of metaphors rain down on the sidewalks of the encompassed land, and streetwalkers range from mutations to eclectic esoterrorists (those who commit unlawful violence in the name of esotericism)” Excerpt from my short surreal fiction blog-post "Apocalypse Machines"

I dried these flowers from a bouquet using silica sand to eternalize such a loving gesture. I stored them in a real shell box, which I collect.

I got this old book from 1937 at a vintage comic book store for 2$ I love collecting vintage and finding rare & cheap finds.

Was feeling no connection with one of the main characters in my current WIP.. so I completely reworked her. Completely different vibe, and now she has more personality. Yes, her aesthetic inspiration is manic pixie dream girl.

Finally getting around to new edits of my highly experimental and colorful novella from 2019, “The House of Wonders” which was inspired by the “Tibetan Book of the Dead” and a friend I know who died a tragic death, along with my own psychonaut experiences.

Today I got a kindle e-reader. Single-handedly the best purchase i’ve made in a long time. If you’re considering getting one, do it! Its easy to replace this screen addiction with an e-book one instead 🤣

10 years ago, I had no idea how beautiful my life would become. For 5 years I've lived in my own houses with studios, & now I'm engaged & we travel constantly, I have a bunch of inspiring, positive people around me and my writing and art has gained a following!

“Your digital world is a space where you can fully be yourself. There, you have free rein to express, explore, experiment — as much as you want, about whatever you want. It’s a wild and luscious digital garden.” —Keningzhu

I read this incredible article called “Infinite creative possibilities for a digital world” where the writer keningzhu.com shares a plethora of ideas for building your own world of a website. I have been exploring their blog like an unknown wonderland, and there is a lot of inspiration to discover. I highly recommend it!

Collaged journal entries today. “Palo santo psalms and echo chambers of shoegaze, unraveling the muse until shes naked and trembling, I long to fade into oblivion…”

imagee

The pollution kisses her breasts, oh forgotten flower-flesh
Huddled in a nest of mad kisses
who grinned ignorantly at the sky.
Starsongs entwined their thin arms,
dripping pollen like morphine
from violent forests: where the stars always sleep

I furnish hidden realms of the unconscious with captured muse, imprisoning whimsy and bottling its rhythm for study. I wish to embroider my every innovation with an ancient tenderness~

As a multi-medium creative with a surplus of projects, here is a mere segment of all the journals i usually refer to multiple times a week when im being creative! Its so overwhelming but I work best in a maximalist environment. There are 4 other stacks on my desk like this with boxes of stickers, binders, books, junk journals, etc…. I need my inspiration close. Feat my plushes from the 1950s in the back.
