It's difficult to use samples sometimes because it's hard to have feelings... I used to feel okay having specific emotions tied to specific samples, but that got harder over time when I felt more and more like my feelings didn't matter
I struggle to feel like it's okay to have larger emotions, and this affects my art too. I think it's a fear of vulnerability: that I'm just caring about things wrong, that it's embarrassing to care in ways that are different or seem silly (and thus it shouldn't be done)
and then that made me want to be more secretive about my samples in general, to not have whatever feelings i put in them be damaged
but hiding really doesn't help? and I'd rather be more open about sample usage anyway
anyway, this one is a short one

He's carving out a piece of cake! It is the perfect shape, like a wedge of cheese from a cartoon... Except cake!
He's masterful at it, every slice is somehow exactly the same size! Every time! He knows how to cut each cake perfectly even. He can even do it if the cake is asymmetrical. No one knows how he does it. When people ask he smiles.
Bouquet girl is his biggest fan, and one of a very select few that he would call a friend.
Her cakes come out all wobbly, there's eggshell still in them, and she never quite gets the frosting right so she uses yogurt instead.
Bouquet girl makes smiley faces with the food coloring and dashes sprinkles all over.
Her cakes make him smile. So he cuts them into wonderful shapes and displays. Iffafelons and pyradinettes. Dodecadrecalves and nonasymptations.
