Word of the Day: 天皇制
My mind feels crazily clear. I had 3 gummies and I actually have no intruding voices, no intruding thoughts. I am really free. Sometimes I play like 3 different sound devices just to feel even slightly clear, but right now, the music is all I need.

The Andy Warhol Brillo Box
Andy Warhol is the king of Pop Art and he had been the first to incorporate everyday items that we as a society would never think to turn into art, Andy did it first with the Cambpell Soup can and then with the Brillo Soap Box. There was an art collector family who had a Warhol Brillo Soap Box in their collection and it did become part of their lives which is really rare for a piece of art to be able to do that and the daughter of the family who was a film maker made a documentary about it.

Survived a Life That Tried to Break Me. Content Warning.
Content Warning: This story discusses forced marriage, abuse, and psychological trauma. I want to confess so that I can finally find peace. I feel invisible. This feeling has haunted me since childhood. I have always felt like nothing, even though I grew up in a conservative family where they believed they were teaching me values and principles. In reality, being a girl meant oppression and control. What they called “discipline” was slowly destroying me from the inside. This was the worst feeling I have ever experienced. I wanted to escape my mother’s cruel hell by any means necessary. Yes, she was cruel and heartless. Her cruelty came from her fear of my father, but I understood this far too late. I never understood why she was so afraid or so excessively strict. I suffered in silence, blaming her because I never felt her affection. The worst thing she did was marrying me off at a very young age. It was an injustice, an injustice to a teenage girl who knew nothing about marriage. I couldn’t refuse. I couldn’t even speak. My mother slapped me and threatened me until I accepted without saying a word. Yes, I married a man much older than me , a man the same age as my father. I could never love him. I could never be his wife. I was innocent, naïve, and unprepared, and he mocked me and treated me cruelly. I hate him deeply.

The Homies
When I was in highschool I used to collect The Homies figurines and I thought that they were cool as I still do. They were created by David Gonzales a fictional latin barrio in california and they are tightknit. I had a couple of posters as well as the figurines too. Each piece is a beautifully done little piece of art. There is a little kid spin off appropriately titled "Mijos" which is spanish for my children or my kids.
