Stop.

Every time this happens, God kills a puppy. Seriously.

Let me explain…

Ten years between my first Florence concert tee and this one. It's really too much content to put into words. I can't describe what it meant to me then, and how it's evolved from album to album, growing with me (I've changed a lot in 10 years). . But I can tell you that last night, I cried through every. Single. song and believe it or not that has never happened. I'm proud of it. Everything came rushing out of me from continuous, hot streams down my cheeks, to big round droplets rolling off my eyelashes, to full on shaking sobs (I could barely see during "The End of Love"). It was a perfect show. Perfect for me. It was everything I wanted and needed: feeling everything I've felt in that time span all at once. . I have no pictures or videos, but I actually have everything. It was freezing and pouring rain and yet I felt so warm and so much love and belonging. I don't think @lcbakes really knew what she was giving me when she bought these tickets. But it was the greatest gift. Letting me out with my unapologetically fragile, beautiful, heart and its tremendous ability to love and feel....if I had 100 years I don't think I could ever thank her enough for that experience (my wife or @florence). @florenceandthemachine #highashopetour #somanyfeelings #florenceandthecoffeemachine

Felt cute, might daydream of a fanciful and pleasantly unreal world later, idk 🙃🌸🌼🌻🌺🏵️ #flowerboi #aligned #growth #daydreaming #shimmery #sf #saturdayvibes

I'm feeling proud and also relieved and also accomplished and also drained (also also also...) . Yesterday, after 6 straight hours of hyperfocus, (mostly crawling on my hands and knees over the 7 foot canvas stretched out on the floor) I finished a painting I had been working for over a year. I suppose, more accurately, I finished a piece I have been trying to finish for nearly a year and a half now. My body is sore and so is my heart. . This is the second piece in a four part series. The largest series. This heartbreak was one of the most difficult times of my life (until now). So many hours. So many mistakes, so many tears, painting over, staring and doing nothing, feeling nothing, feeling everything, trying and failing. Starting and stopping. Meanwhile everything just hung there like dead weight. . Something that's been ever-present in the back of my mind since I read it "there is no breakthrough without breakdown. And if you're going to break, then shatter." @thecultofmindy Yesterday was a breakthrough. And it was so deep that yeah, I had a tiny breakdown after. It's rare when I create something and actually feel it leaving my body. It's unsettling and euphoric at the same time. But everyone knows that sad art is the best art. . Because you shatter. And then you take those pieces and make them into something you're proud of. Something beautiful. Something that heals you a little more every time you look at it. Something that makes you better. And if you're brave (vulnerable) enough, you share it with everyone you know and hope it makes them feel (beautifully) shattered, too 🖤 #brave #vulnerability #artist #feelings #painting #artboi
