Wherever you’re reading from, I invite you to walk these inner landscapes with me and share in the journey they reveal. If you’ve…

I found this cool concept of creating a cast of characters while studying other cartoonist.
Forever Recovery
Forever I am stuck, In this viscous cycle of recovery, Never ending my brain turns, Churning out the cycler thoughts, Which spin the paranoia, Out of thin air, Such circles spin and spin, As I sit stuck in this everlasting cycle, Recovering from each stressful moment, Each time feeling little further from the start, Slower…
