#start loving

[findersfeeders]

This is it. This is the point. This is why we stay home, wash hands, and don't touch our faces. This is a national act of love. Love for the people who care for us at the risk of their own health. Love for the labor and service workers who still have to go to work. Love for our communities, our classmates, our friends. Love for ourselves. Let go of fear and embrace love.

The next time you wash your hands, think of someone you don't want to see sick. Think of how you are plaaying an active role in your community by taking care of yourself. Be well. Drink water. Eat veggies. Wash your hands. Call your loved ones.

Stop liking, start loving.

Accurate.

Stop hating yourself for what you aren't and start loving yourself for what you are.

If Armys have been expelled from the kpop fandom and we now have our own Nation, then I guess I have double-nationality because I'm also a Carat

And a Shawol

And a Blink

And a Nctzen

And an Aroha

And a Fantasy

And an If

And an Uaena

Well, I guess it's impossible for us to get along?

(And by 'us' I mean kpop fans)

From asking me who I think I am to telling me who they think I am, people have compared me to a lot.

From relatives to straight to gay to exes to wives to that one homeless guy to Frederick Douglas to beautiful to ugly to nice to mean to blah blah blah. People have felt inclined to tell me who they think I am...who I remind them of...who I am not.

Comparison has inspired me to break free from convention since childhood. Classism, racism, homophobia, ableism, ageism...comparison divides and degrades us where appreciation connects and affirms us.

Being compared to people has felt excessive, and low-key racist, so a lot of the work I do is rooted in self acceptance and creator collaboration over self denial and creator competition because wtf lol.

We are one picture that deserves a closer look. Being a cellular organism is weird because like cells our existence is a bunch of tiny parts creating one enormous picture. Like any picture, we all deserve another look.

May you meet an art buff willing to truly collaborate, judge you less and value you more. Rather than comparing you to other pieces or creators may they hold you as a remarkable individual, grown from blank space, complete yet worth getting to know. May they see and love you for you...art!
