THOUGHTS
It's been a week...a decent week at that too. I'm getting a good turn around for commissions to keep me busy and my day job has only forced me to bang my head against a wall one time! I've begun listening to an audiobook, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson, which in two chapters made me realize there was a better way to look at almost all situations than the way I was going about it. Most of the stress and frustrations and worries were all coming from fucks I gave out to the wrong things. The weirdest part is being shown a better way to do something after you strongly believed your way was already the better way. But it's humbling as well.
A friend of mine went off on a rant the other day about how he loathes this phrase, "Ah, it is what it is." Which cracked me up because firstly, I couldn't tell if he was giving his f's to something not important, or secondly, he was actually on to a good point. He continued to say that "Life is what you allow it to be," which I like. I feel you usually hear more commonly that life is what you MAKE of it, but as most people can attest to, you can't always MAKE something happen but you can dictate the way you're treated and the way you allow yourself to live. You have the option to choose your values and thus refocus where to give your fucks.

These are the thoughts on my brain while I bust out some pet portraits for people! Which I'll show below. I am also having a Valentine's Sale coming up Monday-Friday so stay tuned for that! Remember to feel free to contact and chat me up whether it's a commission or idea or thoughts. Have a great week everybody.
