290/365 Heart in a Bottle

It takes courage to love the things of this world, but love anyway.

Hope everyone is doing good!!!

As for me, I've been devouring forensic science books. You know, the nit and grit of a crime scene, what happens to our body during autopsy etc.. while it's...fun but I'm having trouble sleeping. 😂 So to balance it out, I've been consuming children's books with just as much gusto. And I'm so in love with discovering morals in a story where we might have missed when we were a kid.

So to say, this image was absolutely inspired by 2 things.

The heart in a jar, literally, for my morbid fascination with forensic pathology.

The heart in a jar, figuratively, from a children's book "The Heart and The Bottle" by Oliver Jeffers which offers a gentle reminder of what we stand to lose when we lock away our emotions.
