I Want To Love Myself

i want to love myself

it's a bit frustrating the lack of energy i have anymore to make larger scale drawings. i am too tired to do anything more than a sketch with some color. i wish i could find the energy and motivation to make a full piece, i have a lot of ideas.

even without things like school taking up a lot of my time, it takes a lot of effort to just open a canvas and draw. i get distracted easily, or i lose motivation less than halfway through, and a sketch takes me at least 3 days, oftentimes about a week, even if im dedicated.

i haven't made a full piece with a lot of detail for a while. art that i was making in 2021 had a lot more care and energy put into them than now. i don't know what happened, or what's wrong. i don't know where to find that drive and motivation anymore.

took nyquil and instead of sleeping i drew a lot.

not drawing more for a little bit

Last week, St. Louis County Circuit Judge Bruce Hilton declined to vacate the conviction and death sentence of Marcellus, an innocent man on death row in Missouri. This means Marcelllus’ execution will go forward as planned on Sept. 24.

The state of Missouri has admitted major constitutional errors including removing potential jurors based on race, and mishandling the DNA evidence that could have proved Marcellus' innocence.

There’s still time for the courts or Gov. Parson to stop Missouri from making this irreversible mistake. We must do everything in our power to stop this wrongful execution. And you can help. Here’s how.

Keep calling Gov. Parson at 417-373-3400 and urge him to stop Marcellus’ execution.

Please help us prevent Missouri from making the irreversible mistake of killing an innocent person. Your voice could make a crucial difference in the fight for justice.
