hello. how are you all?
i just went to post a sculpture pic and realised that i keep posting them with sentiments along the lines of:
it's all shit but you're doing your best
and
take care of yourselves
and
for the love of all things good, please get some rest
etc.
which could all sound trite. but please know that it's never meant to be, is always genuine, and that i'm saying those things as much to myself as i am to you.
things are *really* hard for a lot of people, and it's really easy (at least for me) to get discouraged and hopeless. but i hope you all realise that you are important and deserve care and need to rest. and anyway it's not me saying it, it's this wee friend here!
we both wish you all a goodly friday and as wonderful a week-end as is possible in your world.
and seriously, take care of yourselves.
