Chapter 2.3
Jul 01, 2024
The Reckoning by Dom Fera really captures how much change life threw at me in fall of 2021. I copy and pasted the first verse below (reminder that the link to the Lessons of Inkwell Spotify playlist is in the series description, please give it a listen, I feel like it adds a lot to the emotional arc of the story!).
"One October just came around
Just to shake the sky and move the ground
Just to strongly insist the wind should up and change
And it knocked down walls and bridges too
And it reached more people than we knew
And it left with nothing really
Left the same..."

LESSONS FROM INKWELL WILL BE BACK!
A graphic memoir that features Inkwell, a character who represents the most emotional, traumatized, and sometimes subconscious parts of me. With him, I delve into my tumultuous relationship with my father and the impact of a painful break-up, exploring how the past influences my current struggles with moral perfectionism, care, and activism.

CONTENT WARNING: Lessons from Inkwell discusses mental health and emotional abuse. It does not contain graphic depictions or descriptions of events. However, please use your own judgement: know your triggers, consult a trusted adult, and take care of yourself!
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Through Lessons from Inkwell, I learn to face my father’s contradictions alongside my own, as I weave my past into a new vision of my future. In the chapters currently being released, I show my journey towards accepting my humanity—contradictions and all. This will unravel into future uploads, where I will be seeking a new understanding of care and activism.
My acceptance of Inkwell was once conditional on the form he took—I saw him as unwanted and monstrous unless he was small and convenient. Now I see that he—and I—deserve love and care in all of our forms. I hope this comic inspires others to think critically and compassionately about what healing means for themselves and the world we share, just as making it has done for me.
