Been feeling a bit fed up with the way the world is. A couple days ago, having a conversation with a friend, I was telling her something, venting probably when I had the idea for a painting.

It's been some time since I've painted.. I tried a couple times in the last month or 2 but the inspiration just wasn't there. So when I got this idea, I felt excited, inspired and motivated to pick up a brush.

With all the cancel culture, censorship, mandates ect ect I've felt a bit suffocated, like I'm drowning in a sea of others ideologies. Ideologies that I don't believe in yet because others believe the way they do, I am bound to Their Rules.

I watch others who feel like I do. People speaking out and protesting against only to have not only our peers trying to tie their hands and tape their mouth but the government too. All the conditioning and lack of an ability to think for oneself has dire long term consequences.

I've participated in keeping my mouth shut... mostly. In an attempt to stay in my lane, just wanting to be left the fuck alone and not be bothered with what I consider a bunch of bullshit.

I'm a firm believer in living and let live! I really wish everyone else felt that way too. There's a few exceptions, but you don't know what's best for me and my family anymore than I know what's best for you and yours.

Just because you feel like your opinions and beliefs are the only doesn't make that true or fact. Just because you feel a certain way doesn't mean it's true and correct for everyone else. The superiority complexes are huge with no merit.

Anyway, I'm feeling braver to open my mouth.
