jisu sheen: sprinkle factory

i see life through a lens of love. sometimes it feels like i split my time between serious work and wholesome nonsense, but it’s all the same. it’s about trying again and again to be wholesome in this world. in the depths of despair, sometimes all you can draw are happy doodles. much of my life has been a prolonged effort to shout: “we are only asking to exist!” i realize now that what i really want is a life shaped by love rather than the absence of it.

my aunt told me she used to wonder why people liked flowers so much. they are pretty, she thought, but what else? as she grew older, she started to understand.
