Hi! 🐻My name is Laima.
Me and my wife used to share this art page. But, sadly, my wife passed away. Despite that I think that my wife’s work deserves to be seen and appreciated. So I intend to keep posting her wonderful digital artworks! 💎
I myself am a poet, lyricist and songwriter.🎹🎼 So all written works on this page are mine! I also used to be my wife’s model, so there’s art coming up with me being a model.💋👗
I've written ever since I can remember. I used to write poetry in my native Latvian tongue, but homophobic environment made me fear the freedom of speech. I loved languages, so I started writing English free-verse poetry. And English language opened a new perspective for me, to express thoughts in a short form, to say a lot with one good sounding phrase, to say a lot with a title, it's art for me.
I have never learnt instrument and been close to music as a child. As I grew up I fell in love with music. I started to come up with my own melodies. Once I tried playing online piano and could play the melody that I had in mind by ear, so I bought myself keyboard and learned.
About year ago I started songwriting. I love writing strange ballads with deep lyrics, I love also rock and metal, but I enjoy pop, too. It's something that has helped me overcome hardships, kind of like self-healing process. And for I've never been me 'cause life made me lose myself, I don't want to do anything else but writing. Writing songs, music, lyrics, poetry.
I’ll appreciate any feedback on my writings and my wife’s artworks! 🎨You’re very welcome on this page!😍
Thanks for the watch. Hopefully you get something out of it. :)
Surely! ;)
Godspeed.
I'm sorrow to hear of your partner's passing. That must be an awful thing to live with.
Yes, it is. I got really great support from the people around, that's how I could live. But it was not easy to return to normal life and thanks that I had a great support from my very close ones. There were also people who kind of condemned me about mourning and were always wondering about how I am not able to find a job straight after what happened and how I could be a bit unwell. It was not easy for me, for both mental and physical health. Now, I am trying to move on fulfilling dreams me and her both shared, so at least it was not all in vein.
Thank you for your understanding! Wishing you a great Sunday! 🌸🌞🎀
People can be wonderful, and they can be scum. As if a job ever cured heartarche, what an absurd notion. I'm glad to hear you hit some kind of stride.
You as well!
Thanks. Yes, people think it's easy to move on, it's not. They think that mourning is something to overcome in 2 weeks. No, it takes years. Through my mourning I had someone who really supported me much, he became my bf, so I moved to live with him. It's amazing, life changed and I am in the place where nothing reminds me of my past. But does it make me mourn less? While I will be settled with the way my gf died, years will pass.
Before my gf died, I was her carer for 2 years, it was not an easy time, she really had heavy health issues. And now as I searched for the job, people just wonder what did I do past couple of years for I don't have the needed job experience. And if I tell that I was a carer, they treat me like someone who was being SO lazy, while in reality, I was tired actually, sometimes did not sleep well at nights when my partner needed some care at night, too. It was a heavy job, even if not paid for.
Thanks for understanding,
I appreciate that a lot!
My best wishes your way,
Laima. :)
