Paper Faces - The Human Psyche: PARANOIA
FACES. We all have them. They fascinate me. Expressions in particular - from subtle to extreme.
OLD PAPER. These too share qualities of human expression. From long ago handwritten notes, aged newspapers and maps to worn paper stained with time. In this series of prints, I combine them to create whimsical "stories" about the nature of being human.

A lot of what people are calling #FOMO is actually something else.

When you go to bed and within 5 seconds of not falling asleep you grab your phone for some light entertainment, thats not fear of missing out!

Its FOT - fear of thinking.

You fear that thinking will make you feel sad about the world and your part in it.

#mindfulness doesn't teach you to stop thinking. It teaches you to stop fearing your thoughts, to stop judging your emotions and to turn your negative feelings into positive actions.
Empowerment is the only antidot for powerlessness.

Miss out on the distractions and concentrate on solutions.

I felt everything as a kid. Other people’s #emotions, my imagination of those, my own emotions. In my teens & 20s, I blunted that as best I could. I hid from my heart & kept on doing it until my 50s where I tried reconnect. I can be with, experience, & just let be emotions. It’s not easy, but it’s possible.

Who here feels like they are subjectively too NICE? Or that it might be better for themselves to be less NICE? 🙂
