MY TRIBUTE TO THE GOOD EXES
YA KNOW WHAT ISN’T FUN AT ALL?

GETTING BROKEN UP WITH OR REMEMBERING A BAD EX.
What if it wasn't?
This is the insight behind this project: growth in relationships doesn't only come from examining what went wrong. It also comes from feeling genuine gratitude for what went right, for the version of yourself that only exists because of the people you wanted to love.
I created a series of zines, each one a poetic tribute to a past relationship and the specific thing it taught me.
Not a post-mortem. A thank you.
Some of those lessons were about loving someone else's imperfections without trying to fix them. Some were about learning to love my own.
It's easy to list all that hurt you. It's harder, and more useful, to articulate what made you.
