A six panel comic featuring the artist Michelle speaking in first person<\/p>\n

Panel 1: an image of an airplane, along with narrative text that says “I was super into women and dating when I was in my 20s. I flew to Montreal twice from Edmonton in one summer to see a girl.”<\/p>\n

Panel 2: an image of Michelle drawing a wall mural, saying “I dedicated art to our inside jokes and our dogs. (different girl btw)”<\/p>\n

Panel 3: an image of Michelle driving a car with her dog, crying and singing “Encircle me, I need to be taken down”. There is a note next to her that reads “I had bangs”. The narrator says “I listened to a lot of Tegan and Sara sing about heartbreak because who else would understand?”<\/p>\n

Panel 4: The narrator says “now, in my late, late 30s, I tweet and concern my friends”. An image of a phone displays a tweet by Michelle that reads “I’m heartbroken… devastated :(”<\/p>\n

Panel 5: A red haired person, Michelle’s friend, reads the tweet and calls her up saying “Babe, who hurt you?”<\/p>\n

Panel 6: Michelle, now with a new hairstyle, answers ‘Sports’. Next to her are clippings of Sports News that reads “Lionel Messi officially signs two-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain” and “Raptors make Lowry sign-and-trade to the Heat official”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"About the Artist Michelle Campos Castillo is a Salvadoran visual artist living in Edmonton.
