That flickering flame pulling shadows out of me

071 - Giving the idea of a shape-shifting future me a gentle nudge, I wonder if I can get off the swamp and paint again. I also wonder how useful it would be to differentiate 'mourning' from 'grieving'. The day I wondered if I was infected by narcissicism, a new friend said I should keep voicing my ideas. So here I am. I'm Atom Alicia C. I read from the blog again. 'Melancholy, black pen,' the pieces is called. I post sporadically on Instagram. The website is the more permanent home, if there is such a thing.
