watercolor painting. i'm a complete novice at it but it's been something just for me

It's that time again! Time to show off what I've been doing this entire year, with the previous year for comparison. I did better this year with not scheduling things during my birth month of August, but as you can see, I have been a very busy lad. Very few of these are holidays. 🫠 1/6

Habari Gani! Today is Nia, purpose! Finding what you consider to be your purpose is a journey that can take longer than you think. I'm still on that road myself. 😁

Habari Gani! Today is Ujima, or collective work. As we move into the new year, look at your community and see where you can help. Volunteer with a mutual aid group, join a library board, or even send letters to incarcerated folks. Each of us has the power to enact change.

I hate "it's not going anywhere" and "it's here to stay" inevitability language It's not brave or bold to latch onto something you've been convinced is powerful, it's cowardly & pathetic Things don't just happen to you. Surrendering your agency to avoid the fight at all is spineless, not wise
