"I Dreamt of Brighter Days", 2012

I continue to transition my #art from #deviantart to #Pixelfed. #AIhasDestroyedArtPlatforms such as Deviant Art for me. And unlike most other platforms, I greatly appreciate the freedom of the #Fediverse, including the lack of data collection, or the lack of algorithms dictating what we see, think or feel. #HelloPixelfed. #GoodbyeDeviantArt.

This is more of a #photomanipulation than a #digitalpainting - though there are touch ups. Originally, when I created this, it was meant to represent how I was feeling at the same, particularly during February, one of the most #depressing months. And now I reflect on how much has changed. Though I have experienced #dark days, I have also learned the value and necessity of finding meaning (i.e., finding #alifeworthliving). This can be anything from arts, nature, crafts, activities, hobbies, meditation, relationships and so on. Reflecting back on 2012, I am happy to say that life is much more bright nowadays. However, life would not be so bright without those dark days.

Should give birth to something
good and lovely." -Chinua Achebe

Apparently Facebook doesn't know what to do when you upload a GIF that is not animated -- just a single image.

Animation wasn't even added until GIF89a! The main Discord channel I haunt also disallows GIFs wholesale -- to avoid animated GIFs any *.GIF file is trashed.

Is this what the human race has come to?

Double hit of #sadness:

Had a casual chat with my landlord to give notice, tell him about the furniture I'm leaving and a few items that will need fixed after I #move 😢

He's always come when I asked for help, even non-landlord stuff #thankful

Then right after that I watched my darling pickup truck drive away to be parked with a sale sign. It has faithfully carried me everywhere for the past 25 years and I love it. I wanted to keep it as a project but I need every little bit of money to move 😭

A lot of what people are calling #FOMO is actually something else.

When you go to bed and within 5 seconds of not falling asleep you grab your phone for some light entertainment, thats not fear of missing out!

Its FOT - fear of thinking.

You fear that thinking will make you feel sad about the world and your part in it.

#mindfulness doesn't teach you to stop thinking. It teaches you to stop fearing your thoughts, to stop judging your emotions and to turn your negative feelings into positive actions.
Empowerment is the only antidot for powerlessness.

Miss out on the distractions and concentrate on solutions.

Mental Health

Interesting therapy session this morning.

Most of what I seem to feel these days is sadness. A sadness fed by all my experiences in live up to now. Sadness and emotions that I never processed and just put away.

This morning I shared my therapy plan. Written and told mostly from that feeling of sadness.

Color me surprised when people told me they sensed a lot of anger.

Seems I've been hiding that anger even deeper then my sadness.
