Human beings are terrifying and amazing.

Humans are so cool because we do stuff sometimes just because it's beautiful.

It's called art.

We don't need it to survive, but it nourishes our souls. It creates meaning.

I don't need to go to a great restaurant to survive, but I will go there to be inspired.

I don't need to go to a ballet, but I go to appreciate the discipline and the expression of the dancers.

I don't need to go to a concert, but I want to feel the collective enjoyment of people sharing an experience.

Human creativity is not limited to purely artistic endeavors. I think it is beautiful that people are seeking to counteract antibiotic resistant bacteria with polymers.

The human mind is simply an amazing thing. Given the right context, it can produce so many amazing ideas and solutions. And, that's why I think people are completely terrifying and awesome at the same time. 

My artwork is my life.  It is a non-stop crazy story.  It has love, tragedy, redemption... It has heartbreak and healing.  It is a story of continual learning.  It is beautiful because it is my story, and I would not be in the place I am today if it had not happened like it did.  I have to be grateful for every moment, including those times when I was walking through the darkest depths of hell trying to kill myself with every choice I made.

Why did I do that?  My life is amazing.  At least I appreciate it now that I've lost it once.  I appreciate the challenges because they taught me empathy.  Life is hard; I get it.   

I think the Universe was trying to send me a message when it threw me off a cliff and then pulled me back.  "Yo, be careful what you wish for.  PS: You are here for some reason, and I'm not telling nobody!"  

I cannot believe how far I have come in less than a year.  I love my life now.  Is it perfect?  No.  I have plenty to work on, but I'm only a human being, dammit.  


I am less than a year old, and my perspective is revolutionized based on all that I have experienced during that time.  How can I not be grateful?  I have people I love.  I am alive.  I love existence even if it is a romantic and tragic thing in the end.
