crying about cave paintings at 7:51 pm is a good exercise that i recommend
there’s something so horribly, painfully human about cave paintings, particularly negative handprints like these
here are people, thousands of years ago, their hands stretched out in greeting. here are people who painted the world around them and saw fit to put themselves in there too. here are people who only said, “i was here. i was a person. i existed. don’t forget me.” here is a person reaching thousands of years into the future, saying “im alive. im alive”. and there’s nothing more human than that.
