I tend to think about things in a way that makes me go down rabbit holes, and consider, why a certain act of such violence against another , an artful graffiti piece on a public space, or the emotional social media post, was an act that the individual seemed to think just and right at the time. It’s only as I’ve gotten a lot older, accepted my own flaws (many) and realise when my emotions are being pricked to stop and ask why - why do I react the way I do given a set of circumstances when another might not. This lead me down a path of having a visual eye for the human condition at the moment in time and how as a whole it effects society that has been seen as progressive by one side and broken by another.
Don't build your own life around being controlled by other people. Your life is too short for that. It was at a particular time in my own life that I realised that outcomes were so often determined by the choices of others that I could not truly be free unless I found a way out from this path I had set in motion. You need to build something, no matter how small, that is you that others want to exist. That can be a product. A thing. A solution. But whatever it is, it has to be yours to sell and not building your own life of creating value that others can use from you and what you do.
