huge life update: i was laid off from Vrbo last week after 13 years. surreal to even type. feeling a lot, but mostly grateful for the friends + experiences.

i’m pursuing photography full time now. if you like my work, *please* consider buying a print, zine, or book to support me katswansey.com/shop

a fun update no one asked for: we had a great time at my art show, he broke my f'n heart three days later, and has been begging for me back ever since. as a full blown lover girl, I hate love, man.

i usually keep my personal life private but whatever... taking a friend that's more than a friend but isn't my boyfriend to the opening of my art show is making me anxious as hell. there, i said it out loud.
