— The Work of Happiness by May Sarton (1946)

I was hoping for a new start, a life, opportunities and I knew the risk was that it could all end instead. I mistakenly assumed that the reason would be that worth would be a factor, or that the fear of the unknown would out weigh the person it would be with. today is day 1. What I feared, is manifestation real.

"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.

And a world with fewer languages isn’t only a world with more limited means of communication. It’s also a world with fewer stories and folk tales, fewer hagiographies, fewer poems, myths, and recipes, fewer remedies, fewer memories.

one of the most important things, perhaps the most important thing I have learned in my life is that nice people can fuck each other up in monstrous ways. people can be bone deep kind and loving and self reflective and still lash out under pressure. people can be earnestly neighbourly and charitable and hospitable and generous and still find themselves in situations where they become selfish. people can be well meaning and easygoing and gregarious and hold deep seated opinions that turn them into vicious little bullies under the right conditions. nobody is just one thing, and nobody stays one way. every person is a kaleidoscope and they will surprise you. you will surprise yourself. it's not a warning and it's not a judgement and it's not an excuse, and it's certainly not a reason to stop trying or to stop trusting. it is just a fact.

“7 Generations of Genetic Memory: Xinachtli to Xochtli” 36"x24" oil on canvas by Jake Prendez. 2018 I first painted a version of this 10 years ago. It was one of my first paintings. I wanted to revisit it with 10 years more painting experience. The idea is that the Mayan is holding the symbol for Seed (Xinachtli) which has bloomed into a Xochtli (flower in the girls hand) with us the 7th generation.
