If you want your own version made and showcased by yours truly, let me know!

Just drop a reference image and give me a go. :)

Close your eyes. Breathe in. Isn't it a beautiful feeling, how your lungs fill with air, how refreshing the oxygen is on your mind? If I take a really deep breath consciously it's like this tingle spreading through my entire body. It feels good to be alive.

Everyone has their problems, their struggles. I do as well. The grass is always greener on the other side, everyone else seems to have it much easier somehow. But they think so about your life too. You take your good things for granted, they don't. They take their good things for granted, you don't. Your mind is playing a trap. On your path to do better you forget to enjoy what you already have.

So take a moment to breathe. A little conscious break. It's not all bad. Not all good either. But your life is alright.

You don't impact a cyberculture without a little emotional labor.

Last Halloween I returned to Las Vegas to celebrate personal milestones in the Kasane Teto fandom that boosted my creative life. Along the way I wound up reviving TetoTube...but also navigating the latest flavor of the noise that had previously strangled that project.

By that point, however, I had already endured a number of betrayals, removals, and smears for standing by my creative values against the very communities I helped elevate.

Resilience can get exhausting.

But it got better.

Much better.
