thinking of when vincent van gogh said that “poverty stops the best minds in their tracks” and how art would see a new era if we funded struggling independent artists instead of hiring talentless nepotism babies.

2021 be like: I'm thriving. I'm miserable. I am revisiting old hobbies. None of my hobbies are fun. I'm walking a lot. I have a vitamin D deficiency. The pandemic has lasted one month. The pandemic is over. The pandemic has lasted for 10 years. I am completely isolated. I talk to my friends constantly. I love working from home. Fourteen months have vanished from existence. I have a repetitive stress injury from working from home. I'm sick to death of working from home. Everyone is getting vaccinated. There's three new variants that no-one is vaccinated from. Stay indoors. Start going out. Outdoor dining. Restart the economy. Don't touch. Isn't it great that we're finally going back to normal?

I sit with my grief. I mother it. I hold its small, hot hand. I don’t say, shhh. I don’t say, it's okay. I wait until it is done having feelings. Then we stand and we go wash the dishes.

I’m really just taking 2020 raw, unprotected. I don’t have a nintendo switch so i can’t play ac and I don’t even have a dnd group to keep me going. I’m just. Doing a line of pure, uncut 2020 right down the kitchen counter.

وَاصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

Endure patiently, and your patience can only come through God.

Just let that sink in.

One of the best parts of 2020 is the constant feeling that you’re being an over-reacting weirdo but also, impossibly, that at the same time you’re not taking it seriously enough, are taking too many risks, and that you might die or kill your family because of them.

THIS IS ALL GREAT FOR MENTAL HEALTH.

The whole boycott mulan thing makes sense but i wish people had the same energy to boycott movies when theyre not made in china too. Like we know all marvel movies are approved by and recieve financial support from the us military and captain marvel was literally military propaganda. when was all this energy back then. Or do we only care when the state terrorism is chinese

What’s going to make you happy right now? Is it some cake? Is it a nap? Is it calling your mom? Is it going on a drive and blasting music? Is it taking a bath? Is it reading a book?

Check in with yourself because you deserve that happiness, whatever it is.
