He doesn’t understand that Muse gave me something to look forward to throughout one of the hardest periods of my life, when darkness threatened to consume me. Something about her art made me feel like she understood what I was going through, like she too just wanted someone to see and acknowledge her pain, her grief. I’ve watched her art develop, watched her tell a story I doubt anyone else could decipher, and because of it, I feel connected to her in the strangest way.
