White privilege is not about apologizing for being white, it's about recognizing and understanding how being white has made your life easier.

I love admiring art. Music, film, paintings, makeup, photography, dance, fashion, illustration, drag... There is so much beauty in human expression.

Here's a reminder that being gay is a natural occurrence, not a result of influence or exposure.

In a time where the cost of living is extreme, healthcare in America is nearly inaccessible. If you're someone like me, you simply can't afford insurance. As a disabled person with dysautonomia, healthcare should NOT be a luxury!

Never sweep your feelings under the rug just to keep the peace.

If people had their basic needs met, there would be less crime, less violence, less mental health issues, less addiction, less homelessness, and less su*c*de. But, we live under capitalism which is based on greed and exploitation. It only benefits the wealthy and leaves poor people to suffer.

Don't get distracted by who you could've been, focus on the person you are becoming.

Tell me again how the Trump administration isn't racist. They have ordered the National Park Services to offer free entry on Trump's birthday, but have revoked free entry for Martin Luther King Jr Day and Juneteenth.

My EP "SHADOW SELF" is out now! There was a time when my demons almost defeated me, but I fought for my life and reclaimed my power. This project is about purging the poison from my consciousness and transmuting the darkness to light. Streaming links in bio.

A message for small business owners. Using AI for images or videos will negatively impact the credibility of your business, because it's considered unprofessional. Also, many people refuse to support AI because it's unethical. Please, keep this in mind and ask yourself if using AI is worth it.

I'm a bit of a high strung person. I struggle with impatience and irritability. I deal with moodiness. I'm terrible at managing stress. I get overwhelmed with tasks very easily. I can also be a control freak. There are qualities of myself that I'm aware of, and I'm always working on.

Hoping everyone had a nice weekend, I definitely did. I'm looking forward to what this new week has to offer!

When we bring attention to social and political issues, the right says "if you don't like this country, just leave!" For the marginalized groups in America, this is our home too! White supremacists and fascists will not claim it for themselves.

As we enjoy our heaters and fireplaces in this cold weather, I think it's important to remember that there are homeless people who lack warm clothing and shelter. It's absolutely heartbreaking. Nobody should be freezing outside.

Living with HIV.

Prioritizing internal work is so important. I've noticed that when I neglect it, I start to regress. Today, I've decided to get back into my routine of meditation and journaling. 😌

Attention is currency, spend it wisely.

One of the main things I want out of life is to make art, being able to do that is so fulfilling.

For shallow people, nothing is ever that deep.

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful partner, Tydale. The day we started talking, I never could've imagined you would become my everything. It's no coincidence that we found each other, and I'm so happy we did. I look forward to spending many more years with you!

I won't embrace generative AI. It's turning people into brainless NPC's who are incapable of using actual thought and skill. Not to mention the horrible effects it has on the environment. I'm not going to stand behind it, even if it's inevitably integrating itself into our society.

The saying "boys will be boys" perpetuates the idea that we should accept bad behavior from boys and men, as if they are incapable of having self control. Boys and men are fully capable of showing restraint. Teach them to do better rather than letting the burden fall on girls and women.

I don't have the traditional support system that many people have. My parents have passed, I don't have a relationship with my biological parents, and I don't have a lot of close family. That being said, I deeply appreciate the people I have in my life. I'm so full of love right now. 🤍

My name is CHANCE EDWARD. I'm an independent, electronic artist. I want to be an example of radical self expression and challenge the norms. I'm here to convey my thoughts, feelings, and leave behind evidence of my internal process. STREAM MY MUSIC: linktree.com/chancexedward

When things don't work out, it's not always a loss. Sometimes, it's redirection!

LGBTQ+ people go through a lot of sh*t. But, we are resilient. We choose radical self acceptance, bold expression and authenticity. We must continue rising above, because we deserve to be seen and heard.

Neuroplasticity is the brains ability to learn and adapt. When we repeat behaviors, it strengthens a specific neural pathway. This is how habits are developed. We have the capability to retrain ourselves. Through repetition, we can strengthen specific neural pathways and alter our habits.

Carl Jung said "One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. " Inner work isn't about imagining the light, it's about becoming familiar with the dark so we can understand it, learn from it and transform it.

I'm an artist against generative AI 🚫 I'm not a true artist because my work is better than anyone else's, I'm a true artist because I put years of time and energy into honing my craft. My work is the result of relentless dedication and real human creativity.

Don't crave the company of others so much that you forget the importance of enjoying your own company. A healthy dose of solitude is very necessary.

MAGA said Trump is a great businessman, even though his failure in business is extensive and well documented. Yet, they somehow believed he would fix the economy.

During the past year, I've gained more control of my OCD. Something I do to resist my compulsions is to allow things to get slightly messy or disorganized sometimes. For me, it's all about accepting uncertainty, releasing some control, and reminding myself that life can be messy, and that's okay.

Progress is not always taking huge leaps. Sometimes, it happens in small steps.

It breaks my heart when I see gay people claim they are no longer gay because they were saved by Christ. Being gay is not a choice, and it's not something that can be changed. I wish they could reject this harmful programming. You don't have to live in shame.

It's hard to believe I released my first EP a month ago, and I'm halfway done with my next project already. I want to make sure I'm satisfied with the final product because I believe in quality over quantity. But, I'm so excited to share what I've been working on!

Sitting outside and enjoying nature is such an underrated source of joy.

Relationships aren't always sunshine and rainbows. They require effort, intent, and labor that is mental and emotional. Nothing worth it is ever easy. People want a relationship, but not everyone is willing to put in the work.

There's a pattern in historical periods where the art of the times is typically a reflection or a response to politics. Art is about sharing your perspective, and it's often meant to be disruptive, spark conversations, or inspire thinking. Art has always been deeply connected to politics.

AI psychosis is real, and it's becoming a big issue. People are relying on it for personal needs, emotional support and help with mental health issues. If you are struggling, please don't rely on AI. It can provide harmful advice. Please reach out to someone close to you or seek professional help.

I became disciplined because I used to be reckless.

There are some good Christians out there, but referring to the bad one's specifically... I think part of the reason they have such an issue with homosexuality is because they have a problem with genuine love, which is ironically supposed to be the foundation and basis of their entire religion.

Some people don't want to see your growth, they want the unhealed version of you. They don't want you to defend yourself, set boundaries or make healthy choices. They refuse to grow themselves, so now they see you as difficult because you actually stand on something and no longer tolerate nonsense.

Being a musician, you have to deal with a discouraging social media landscape where it's all about promotion and marketability. The issue is that most of us are artists, not influencers. So many of us are overlooked and remain undiscovered. But, the important thing is believing in your art!

There is a substantial amount of evidence that Trump is in the Epstein files. Unfortunately, even if the files were released publicly, his supporters will still find a way to justify it and defend him.

"Why are you so political?" Because equality and human rights are under attack. ICE is terrorizing local communities and ripping families apart. Homelessness is being criminalized. Healthcare is inaccessible. People are starving and can't afford their rent. Our planet is dying, etc.

Here's a reminder that disabled people can appear normal and healthy.

Remember to make self love a part of your daily routine!

A message for the LGBTQ community. We were born into a system that wanted to keep us small, but instead of hiding away, we rise. Embracing our authenticity in a world that tries to destroy us is power. We are the epitome of joy, expression and resilience and our visibility is changing the world.

Today, I'm turning 28. This birthday acts as an indicator of how far I've come. I reflect on some of the events that led me to this point. The good and the bad have helped me develop into the man I am today. The child version of myself would be proud.
