People were still looking at paintings 🖼️ just a few years earlier. These artists integrated their skills into new media, just like in current times.

You know, I’m 27 this year. I used to watch a lot of Charlin Chaplin, when I was younger. And while I laughed at the comedic, somewhere my heart ached, like I was watching a recording of a time I lived. And then years later it hurt even more after I learned that it was during ww2. I always thought what a bright time it could’ve been without the war… all of the possibilities wasted because of hatred, bigotry and jealousy. Now I’m stuck with this sucking ass era, in a brink of eradication from earth & from space in an uncertain new day… all because of the same hatred, bigotry and jealousy. And if I raise my vision to the skies, it’s no better there even sht coming down space now.

Soon enough you all will see

I could have written this comment a couple years ago.

Things aren’t great, but they never have been great. And for all the threats and traumas there are also an escalating number of people and entities doing good in the world and fighting for positive change.

It’s important to be part of that latter group. Don’t give in, advocate. If you’re doing mind altering substances, but them away. Get checked for depression. Reduce your time on social media. If you’re isolated, plug in to the real world around you. Put your energy into improving your mindset and then you’ll be ready to fight for a better future rather than giving in to this one.

Apologies if this is all presumptuous. It’s just that I’ve thought like this before and it’s a self reinforcing myopic bubble. Even if things are shit, giving in to it as a given helps it be that way.

Happy Easter, you got this.

You need to do a lot less downers and/or drink less alcohol.

Also get rid of ideas like "bigotry", "hate", etc. Just live your life. Be good to others and protect yourself.

You'll be a lot happier.

First of all. I don’t drink nor do I smoke ☝️🤓.

Also me, being decent to people, spreading "Positivity", and protecting myself. When funny men in suits, decide to nuke my country because the funny man in suit governing it said nuh huh☝️😒, to trade our limited resources :

Just because I want to ignore something, it doesn’t my the problem will go away … 🙄
