The masses think that art is dying.

The masses think it's all for not.

If you listen closely enough (or too much), a good bit of society is shrunken by the idea of these being the last days.

And not to be cynical but there are portions of me that want to drag out this new coming dystopia. There are areas that inhabit me that drool for the coming of a Mad Max-esque fallout. I mean, my guy, I was raised on Terminator franchises and cookie crisp, in the 90's, my imagination is unhinged at present.

I mean, we were the test kids for Ritalin.

Yet....

I don't feel as if this is the end at all. This is but a Renaissance, a new age, to rival all ages. What other great civilizations endured, gained and lost, we are bound to repeat as well, hell, I think we'll go even further.

I digress, personally, as a nerd of many a subject & a human that loves the study of yesterday to understand now and when. Our issues in creative spaces and life as a whole aren't so much that all good things are ending and our treats once so hard fought for are being snatched away.

It's that, all the happenings are being televised. We see it, we breathe it, we talk to coworkers over lunch about it. We weren't meant to undergo the magnitude of mental gymnastics we endure on the daily. We damn sure weren't meant to collide with so many souls.

Oh yea, also, it's that we know we've been lied to and lied about. We need to beat somebody's ass about it all but we can't get to the mothafuckas who hurt us.

So we massacre each other.

We self-destruct.

We fabricate poisonous scenarios that in turn make sick our bodies.

It's true.

Google the science, if ya don't believe me

It's that we have been (in a roundabout way) imbursed power that no humans before us have ever had before. We are actually drowning in privilege in the west and most of us don't even know it.

Most of us have only known these four walls, and because of that perception falls short of its otherwise magnificent broad essence. But, perception and perspective is everything...if the mind be dark how can there be any light in our waking life?

Hm.

On the off chance that you still don't know what it is you're doing nor want to do. If everything is painful and your days are so long they actually seem short (it doesn't make sense but it sounds good)....

Be easy.

That shits ok.

Things are ok.

A life time is a long time by any measure.

If you can't find one thing, do many things. Just don't fall snare to the idea that we are finite.

And definitely don't let anyone tell you that we're going to sleep, when we are just waking up.
