This was really lovely! I just found out that I can't attend my cousin's upcoming wedding (I thought it'd be over the summer and I could attend; turns out the wedding is in September and I'm a student so I'll be too busy to attend.) My cousin and I aren't very close, and reading this did make me smile -- it reminded me that attending the wedding is just one way to celebrate the occasion. You can be a good guest and a kind friend without actually going.

Anyways! Thanks for sharing this. It made me smile :)

I love that you found another sneaky artist and especially love the photo of the two of you sketching side by side. That's so cool.

It was absolutely delightful. He completed a book full of portraits in about 3 hours, which is incredible!

“The point of writing/drawing every week is to invite you on this trip with me. Not from a place of expertise, but from a place of companionship. Not with offers of singular wisdom, but with the idea that we can collectively come up with some good answers.” Nailed it. Love it.
