december '11 her story tells us to make your mistakes, and to repeat them; to regret absolutely nothing until it is too late. then, regret everything.

february '17 her story starts again when someone's willing to tell it, as it does when you're on the right page. it isn't a crisis but it feels like one, arriving at midlife of the 21st century. she has never learnt to stop talking, unabashed as she pours her heart out although it sounds more like her soul. her recklessness is calculated, her slip-ups necessary, she's never as abrasive as she lets on. if anything, she's not abrasive enough. so if anyone asks, she'll let her drawings do the talking.

her story starts again only when she's absolutely certain that there was somebody willing to listen.
