Thank you so much! x

Thanks you so much! This is oils on canvas-still drying now! X

I would posit that as the Masters worked almost solely to commissions there are a great deal of people who would hold a differing opinion to you but variety is as they say the spice of life. Still, it’s important to not accidentally be a bit silly on the internet. Have a lovely day x

That’s so lovely of you thank you! X

If you zoom in you can see a lot of the paintwork but so pleased it feels realistic x

Thank you so much! x

That’s so lovely thank you xx

It’s mostly my fault for focusing on the negative adult behavior. Life is always what you make of it.

It’s better to walk with the crowd if they’re all walking away from something terrifying

I think a huge part of this is the fact that as kids we had time, we weren't busy studying or working or doing anything "important" with our lives so we had the time to look around us and notice the little impressive things in the world, as adults we're always busy doing something. I think you can try to get better at noticing these things if you make it a priority and I don't mean that you have to prioritize it over work for example, but prioritize looking around you over, let's say, checking your phone. Basically try to find the time in your day, it will only take a few minutes of your day and the more you do it the more natural it becomes

It's better to walk into incoming traffic than it is to walk safely on a sidewalk.

Childlike wonder is built on the bedrock of ignorance.
The more you learn about something the more you develop an opinion and create friction with your own view points. Then when you see something familiar but slightly different the friction creates a voiced opinion that seems like jaded cynicism. However that friction is where creativity lives. You need to take that friction and create, help the world be better for the next generation as they gaze in awe and childlike wonder at your creations.
Recognize your mortality and grow, don’t shy away from it.

Anyone advocating for child like wonder as an adult by looking deeper and not seeing the bigger picture is advocating for mindless consumerism. Don’t shy away from reality because it is difficult.

My kids helped me find the movie Hook(Robin Williams is so good)again, which I loved when I was a kid. Watch some movies or books with imagination in it. The original Pete the Dragon is really good, too. My wife and I have discussed how most children's books nowadays lack the imagination and the pretend world. Go watch a play or do an art session. It makes you be creative.Good luck on your journey to wherever it may lead you.

This comment gave me goosebumps

Thank you for this ✨

Came across your comment and something clicked. Hope you have a lovely week ♥️

I... I just said I didn't say you shouldn't try...

There are two people who go through the same situation. Both have different personalities. Do you think both process pain and other emotions similarly? No. To one an experience is but trivial whereas to the other it's life-changing.

Your point?

I mean nobody knows what another is going through but the only thing one can do is try or maybe not. Both don't matter in the end. We live a story where only the ending is known.

To be fair, there are some people who are forced to sleep on construction sites with all the noise. I think even noise can be filtered out if you are extremely sleepy.

But I think Marcus Aurelius refers to situations that can't be changed and must be handled. We have only the power to react the occurrence of actions is not in our control.

To misinterpret quotes just for the fun of it.

It's not injustice but unpleasant situations, which are unavoidable, that he referred to.
