i'm learning that a great way to honor your own existence is to respect the validity of your feelings and choices without guilt or shame & treat yourself fairly. also, to live in alignment with *your* core values, vs. what others are telling you that you "should" be.
When we look at Auschwitz we see the end of the process. It's important to remember that the Holocaust actually did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed from words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanisation & escalating violence.
Artists! Keep posting your art. I swear to you there are days when I'm online and the sorrows of the world gets overwhelming and some random art pieces give me hope. What you do is magic and makes the world beautiful. Never stop.
