100 Hopes I Lived in 2021

January 10, 2022January 10, 2022 TessaLeave a comment

At a time in my life when I felt stuck in the cycle-- school, break, school, break, until eventually I graduate with the degree I don't want and begin a job I don't want and live a life I don't want-- I needed a perspective shift. I needed something that was going to keep me hopeful… Continue reading 100 Hopes I Lived in 2021

Last day of the year; last Soul Food post for the foreseeable future. It's strange how I went from sharing nearly every thought process I went through with the internet, to wanting to process everything by myself and with a few close companions. I think it has something to do with my growth in being… Continue reading Soul Food {December 2021}

I bought some pepper starts when we were planting our garden in the late spring. They weren't on my list of things I planned to plant, but I saw them and thought they would be a nice addition; I liked peppers and cooked with them often. Now, months after the rest of our plants have… Continue reading Soul Food {Autumn 2021}

Yes, Taylor Swift, August did slip away like a moment in time. And I'm pretty okay with it. While autumn does bring the darker weather, which can be a bit hard for my mental health, I think I'm ready for the feeling of calm and slowness that kind of weather brings to the air. I'm ready… Continue reading Soul Food {August 2021}

Soul Food {July 2021}

I started this series the year I dropped out of college. I wanted a way to share the things I'd been enjoying, like the "favorites" videos on YouTube but centered more on the things that I spent the most time with-- music, movies, books, and the like. I've so enjoyed sharing all these things with… Continue reading Soul Food {July 2021}

There were some extremes for me this month, with both deep grief and bubbling over joy. I'm grateful that the joy is always on it's way, and I'm grateful to be living in it now. Here are some little joys in media form.  Music "Fine Apple" by Nic D. Love absolutely everything about this. His… Continue reading Soul Food {June 2021}

Lots of changing coming my way lately, in a lot of areas of life. Here's to learning to balance welcoming the changes you don't always understand, while also not losing hope for the changes you've been seeking. Faithfulness leads to good things in the end. Always. Here are some faithful companions from the past month.… Continue reading Soul Food {May 2021}

Hello!


My name is Tessa. I grew up in a toxic church environment, but in the midst of it I fell in love with Jesus and grew a passion for responsible study of scripture as I saw He was so much better than I’d been told. I now make music, create art, write, and have conversations surrounding theology, mental health, and creativity. I’m so glad to meet you in this space!

My Art on Instagram

One final piece for #mermay! This is inspired by the #mermaywaters prompt "ruins." Aaaaand by neopets lol does anyone else remember the statue in the ruins of Maraqua? 🙈
It's a late entry but I enjoyed the #mermaywonders #plant prompt so much I just kept getting ideas 🙈🌱
Working on this last night let me exhale a little bit ✨ #mermaywonders #plant
Life has been wild this month & I'm hopefully starting to get into a new groove. Missed a few #mermay prompts but here are some #purrmaid doodles that happened at some point?
If there is an animal involved in anything I draw it is probably inspired by my cat in some way 🙈 Following the #mermaywonders prompt #pet today!
First #mermay post of the year! I've browsed a few prompt lists & decided not to stick to a specific one or go by a schedule. Today's was a #mermaywaters prompt; I liked the idea of mermaids sharing some regional cultures of the shores they reach ✨
Loved The Batman so much I made fan art? Who is she?!
Been a while since I made a fairy 💖 #flpdrawchallenge brought some inspo!
So #TurningRed was adorable & I loved the 2000's style flashbacks & how the characters were colorblocked so here's a sketch 🙈
