I haven't been posting as frequently on my social media about my art because for basically the entire month of May, I didn't let myself paint at all. I devoted all my creative time to the project. Perhaps that wasn't the best idea... Like my intention was good, but I didn't need to be that strict. I probably caused myself more stress and I always ( Read more... )

My niece is having her second baby right now as I type this! I have the important job of taking care of Monroe while everyone is fussing about the new baby. I'm happy I can help my niece and I'm SUPER happy I get to spend time being caretaker of Monroe. It's weird how she is so well behaved with me but not so much with other people, including her ( Read more... )

Things are going surprisingly well... I'm getting work as an artist which is like... just a huge confidence booster. It's been hardwired in my brain to doubt myself and my choices. Seeing the fruits of my labor helps remind me that I took a leap of faith and the net was there. All I can feel is gratitude. I want to grasp and hold on to this influx ( Read more... )

You don't have to tell me
If you ever think of me
I know you say you're busy

Lois: That doesn't matter. What does matter is you'll be the only person in that position who will ever give a crap about people like us. ( Read more... )

My life is so weird... like I don't even know where to begin. I just feel like there have been these flashpoints in my life, catapulting me into new levels of consciousness. I've spent my whole life on this website trying to put that into words... how ideas and events change your behaviors... your thought patterns... your priorities ( Read more... )

5. “Again we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor - both black and white, both here and abroad ( Read more... )

If a generation of children grew up on Steven Universe, I would -maybe- consider bringing a child into this world. LOL I've always said if I had a son I would want him to be like Steven. I feel such deep love for these characters. I hope I can deliver my art in such a healing and positive way. It's all I want out of life.

I love this show for ( Read more... )

I had the longest work week in a while this week. No matter how much sleep I get, I'm still tired. It's like this job sucks the soul out of me. Almost every time I go to work, I have half a mind to quit. There's just too much responsibility for such little pay. One hour of my job is like 2 hours anywhere else because I work with kids. It's not even ( Read more... )
