I don’t remember exactly what I was going for when I doodled this, but my guess is somebody was talking at me while I was hyper focused on my work and would not stop. Idk why some people need to save their words for the worst possible times.

I got this wallpaper months ago (before we got hit with medical bills) and finally put it up today with my aunt. I’m so glad to have a project done.
