I suppose as the lives of those around us move on we are moving with them. Although, more often than not something must be moving faster and the great chase to try and be the fastest moving object, the fasting growing thing tears at the very humanity we hope to hold. Our lives are born of endless possibilities, but only if we allow it to happen.
All things in life are a byproduct of what we perceive them to be. The dog we see walking down the street to one could be the most terrifying thing ever, but to someone else could fill their heart with joy for the rest of the week. Why is it that one small event an inkling of difference in someone’s mind can have such a lasting effect on an entire life? What if people didn’t care about the small things, they just made a decision that everything can be whatever and it is our duty as people to love everything for all that it has. No more being picky, we get exactly what we have and if we don’t like it we have to grow up. Or is that exactly it? In order to grow up we have to change, so really those around us that are changing faster than us are just learning more, are more curious about the goings on in the world and can ultimately make more decisions for themselves.
I always wonder how we can be so picky in lives. I always wonder how exactly someone can get rid of something good entirely just because they are choosing not to like it. Although I suppose we have been taught to have the best for ourselves? But if that is the case why is it that we throw away an old set of clothes away much more often than we throw away an old friend? Is it not the same deep rooted change that is needed in our lives? Are those people that we are forcing to stay in our lives really giving us any better lives than those old jeans riddled with holes? Or perhaps it is a simple question of objectification. If we can objectify an object it holds no real true meaning to hold on to it. We use it and get rid of it. I would say not, if you look deeper every thing you throw away has some sort of memories with you, whether it has been in your life for your whole life or only a day, there are deep seeded connotations to everything. So why are people so much more important? We debate ably deal with the object more, have more memories with those objects, and yet there are no second thoughts, but when someone toxic comes around it is still impossible to throw them away.
Even if you are slowly poisoning yourself with the company of another often we don’t realize it until we are too late, until we have made ourselves ill. Perhaps not physically so, but mentally so indeed. Will we ever change this way of thinking? I doubt it, but perhaps next time you think of throwing food away, or retiring a pair of shoes think about what people may be less important than that object, because after all we all deserve the best and the best things take many pieces, some might not fit the first time, but every piece can be part of the puzzle somewhere, perhaps it just isn’t yours.

No, it’s insane. I mean, in a good way.
After a solid 500+ug I was in the shower. Cooling down. The water rain off my body and around my contours. Every little curve and angle was enveloped in a coating that was pure. It entered my open skin and I saw blue faces take over my open eye visions and into darkness I went. beyond swirling and spinning into infinite loops at one point. I’d say it was overwhelming how many loops were experienced. After I had enough of that I started to blow air out off my lips to breath more evenly. As I blew I could feel the water spray and shoot off my breath and into the drain spaces around me. Almost like I was spitting seed droplets into them like skeeball. Anyway it got a 1000 times deeper and I felt like a water god/shaman blowing out galaxies. I was using my hands to even blast them further and further like a flute. It got to a point where I began to laugh at myself. What’s this silly house raised dude even know shit about shit. Then I dried off and moved on. I will do my very best to express this experience via the painting. I’m very excited to combine a few styles that I’ve been a huge fan of. One is @michael_divine as he forms endless ethereal faces and clouds and architecture. Another would be @tamaniluis His style reflects a sacred root organic texture that comes through in many ways that contrast with cybernetic fluorescent geometric cables. I love you all. I love learning and being able to create a sort of catalogue. The #mifsudvisions show.
