A few months ago, I bought an original piece from my former painting professor.. it was a gift for someone and after recieving that gift, they very promptly destroyed all positive feelings and associations with the time I shared with them.

The artwork was of an antique typewriter.

This week I bought another. A typewriter in a field with weedy flowers growing thru and the keys broken.

This makes sense to me as a way to mourn that friendship in a healthy way even if I am still hurt and angry.
