“Death is integral to everything. Live at peace with your own death, which is an inevitability. Death is a part of who you are while you're alive, paradoxically.”

It takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence, and absence to value presence.

"In fact, our aim is to shed light upon the step taken by the mind when, starting from a philosophy of the world's lack of meaning, it ends up by finding a meaning and depth in it. The most touching of those steps is religious in essence; it becomes obvious in the theme of the irrational. But the most paradoxical and most significant is certainly the one that attributes rational reasons to a world it originally imagined as devoid of any guiding principle. It is impossible in any case to reach the consequences that concern us without having given an idea of this new attainment of the spirit of nostalgia."

My 2025 Art Recap!

Love making these at the end of a good art year, and this one might've been my best yet! With so many to pick from in the last two months I didn't even get to include stuff like my Dispatch OC, Greased Lightning or the rest of The Vanguards :( Here's to a busy 2026!

Everyone talks about the

ART OF LETTING GO,

but what about learning to HOLD ON, REPAIR, TO LOVE, AND NOT LEAVING

when things get difficult...!

very few people talk about the art of staying.

Staying long enough to understand each other.

Repairing after misunderstandings.

Taking responsibility instead of walking away at the first difficulty.

Psychologically, strong relationships aren't built by people who never face conflict

they're built by people who learn how to repair, communicate, and grow together.

Real love isn't only about knowing when to leave.

It's also about knowing when something is worth holding onto and working through.

Because sometimes the deepest connections are not the easiest ones

they are the ones two people choose to protect.

You must first undergo through immense suffering to value healing, through immense battle to value peace, through immense chaos to value calm, through immense confusion to value clarity, through immense desertion to value love. Life has been made as such, everything is valued by its contrast...
