Beach City

I've lived with my sister for over three years now. It's safe to say that my lack of patience and wonderful hermit-like personality have not made our living together easy, but we've managed. She's moving out next week, and I've been struggling with the idea of letting go.

Finding common ground with our siblings seems impossible at times, others it appears as too much work (again, me being a hermit), but we unexpectedly found ours on our living room couch: watching cartoons, laughing uncontrollably, keeping each other company.

This is an illustration of Beach City from Steven Universe. A show that not only has brought me copious amounts of fun and taught me a great deal (yes, I'm a hermit lady-child) but created some common ground when we couldn't bring ourselves to do it for us.
