His faceless head is cocked to the left.

A simple, black-and-white line drawing featuring two characters side by side. On the left is a character resembling Cousin Itt from The Addams Family. He is drawn as a tall, column-shaped figure entirely covered in long, wavy hair that flows from the top of his head to his feet. He wears a small round hat and glasses that sit over his hair, the only elements distinguishing his face. To the right is a cartoon-like girl with flowing hair that extends outward in large, rounded curls, taking up most of her figure. Her face is small and centred within her hair, with closed eyes and a gentle, content expression. The waves of her hair mirror Cousin Itt’s, creating a visual connection between the two characters.

Sometimes, I Just Need to STFU and Listen

March 10, 2021November 26, 20211 Comment

Ask my partner, and she’ll tell you I’m a selective listener. If I could argue, I would...but she’s not entirely wrong. It’s not that I don’t listen; I’m just easily distracted – if the hockey game is on, I’m scrolling social media, or I’m reading a blog post, there’s a good chance my focus is … Continue reading Sometimes, I Just Need to STFU and Listen
