I’ve been putting olive oil in my hair, it’s getting much healthier! I hope everyone is happy today. Even if you aren’t happy, I hope you are happy with who you are. I know my posts have been depressive lately but I’ve been experiencing a lot of hopelessness since the miscarriage. I feel as if nobody close to me understands how I feel and why I feel the way I do. I don’t want to give up on trying but sometimes I feel I should just move on and get a new cat.

I’m resting on the second hand, holding for dear life

I tell myself to look ahead but all I feel is strife

Tick Tick Tick

Time is melting under you

Tock Tock Tock

Don’t let the sound control you

The hands may move like horses’ hooves

the sounds may roar like thunder

Hold the hands and guide them through before they pull you under

Today a friend sent me this photo and, admittedly, I don’t care for surrealist art. It always gives me this weird feeling, like some creepy children’s cartoons did when I was younger. My brother used to watch the kind without dialogue, where they had psychedelic images floating across the screen with vibrant colors and music to match. He would stare at them, mesmerized. I missed him so much today when I stared at this painting in awe. There is so much happening here. It makes me feel as if I’m sitting in a room with the troubled artist right now. I feel like we’re in an empty room together and he is staring back at me just as I am him. I love art that makes me feel connected to the artist like that. Some people feel you shouldn’t put too much of yourself into your art but I disagree. I want to see the author in his/her characters, I need to feel the artist inside their music, I crave to sit in a room with the painter when I look at and into their paintings. This is why I am a fan of reviewing sketches. They’re so raw and unfiltered, you can really get a sense of the artist that way.

I needed something like this today. It is my wish that all of you find a little something like this to make you feel more alive today too!
