it's been a couple of months since i've posted anything online. life has been challenging to say the least. besides the online bombardment of the horrendous state of the world, health scares amongst family and loved ones, saying goodbyes and condolences to many, balancing work and life without faltering, and keeping it altogether while facing the heat – this summer hasn't been the easiest.
i guess this is all just a part of life? it feels at times life is happening and changing so fast, and is really hard to tackle. but i guess this summer has been an exercise in accepting change – the world is changing, people change, cultures change, our bodies change...
we can be upset and angry about change and how things aren't going as expected. but we can also accept that change is inevitable in moving forward, or else we'll just be stagnant and scared from all the changes happening around us.
and amongst all the challenges, i feel pretty blessed! everyone's got struggles, and unfortunately, a lot of people out there have it much worse. which is why i count my blessings everyday and am grateful for whatever life has thrown my way. if life gets unbearable at times, take a breather and remind yourself of the blessings that might've come your way. i think writing this post was a way of telling myself to do so when things get hard...
stay tuned for upcoming posts on upcoming projects. and remember – "if you can't [draw] yourself how in the hell you gonna [draw] somebody else? can i get an amen up in here? now, let the music play..."
