#the 6ix

The smoke from the recent wildfires blended with the usual pollution

Clung to my hair and filled my lungs

The sky was engulfed in hues of orange and swirls of grey

I hate the hustle of this city

It moves too quickly

It’s unforgiving

I feel insignificant

Putting on an outfit I don’t like

Faking a smile I rehearsed too many times

Catering to rich men to earn enough to barely survive

By the time I get home,

the exhaustion weighs heavy

All I can do is surround myself with my own silence

I talk a lot of shit about this place

It probably doesn’t deserve half the things I say

I know one day when I look back,

Alongside the interview, Alex Hirsch also sent me and Hana each a personalized Gravity Falls drawing made and signed by him. This was mine.

I can now say that Dipper and Mabel have visited Canada and specifically, my home town of Toronto.

Thank you so much, Alex ❤️

I'll probably never own Journal 3 Special Edition. But this imo is even better. There's a pretty funny story that happened regarding this drawing that I'll be sharing in the behind the scenes video I got coming on the channel next month on just how we got this interview to happen.

I also made a scan of it so I have a digital version too!

Be sure to check out me and @fordtato's interview with Alex if you've not yet.
