In Which I don't want to say All Is Lost. It is not.

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this post! How are you? How have you been? I do pray and hope you have been okay. As for me, it has been one journey with turbulence. I have some good moments, which is edifying, and plenty of bad ones. I am tired of the bad moments. The bad moments, the bad news. The trend downwards they incentivize one looking. I have always detested the thought of "it is all lost". Not really useful. If I am still alive, why does it matter? Too much noise. I was always turned away by noise. My brother bothers me with the noise he does, I think he is inconsiderate. So it goes, noise is really a pain. Not sure what would bring someone towards that, not the direction I go towards. Eepy cats are cute and sweet. As such, because I have been so tired, more tired than I ever been in a while, I will mention some issues but I hope I can avoid the worst of it. It is just the job situation, mom is inconsistent, but is pressing for me to get work. While it is va...

In which we talk about Space!!

Hello everyone, Monday is here and another week is starting! Things sound as they're going fast, don't you think? Wow! It seems like it was yesterday that we were on my birthday week! And now it's August 13th, a day after I reached the 20 years mark! I'm still celebrating though, just today the crazy people of my class presented me with a nice surprise party!! I was in shock, of course, but definitely enjoyed it a lot!
And how are you today? How are things going? As always, I wish you the best! I'm so glad to have you here! Today I was completely out of ideas for my blog, which always sucks, I hate creative block so much! I thought about writing about a really nice illustrator - Louis Wain - BUT I was afraid it was gonna be a big post and I wanted something smaller and more relaxing, so, as usual, I went to explore the folders of my computer, and found some incredible images I got from Nasa's Twitter a year ago! And decided to share them with you guys! 
Okay, I said I wanted more relaxing, but I'm not sure if the space fits in this category. From distance, it may sounds peaceful, but the opposite is true, inspite of the laws of physics and chemistry that dictates everything there (and here too, but whatever), those rules I don't even pretend to think I'll one day do some effort to try to understand anymore, things are a chaos! Small and hot stars explode and become supernovas, things collide with each other, planets go round and round and round, orbitating stars (though some don't, but whatever AGAIN!), yes, things are an ordered mess and an anarchy with strict rules, and we have galaxies and so on, here we are, on Earth. Of course, everything I just mentioned happens in slow motion, but not any slow motion, REALLY REALLY SLOW slow motion, like, we humans are here on Earth for about like less than a million years, and we only started to think about creating cities like 5,000 years ago, well, does that sounds too much for you? Know that takes millions of years for a meteor to crash with another thing and our sun it's at the end of his life, he'll start to die 3 billion years from now. Yes, it's a mess, but a REALLY SLOW ONE, or are we too fast? Hmm... Something to think about!
By that I don't mean to downgrade humans, that wasn't my intention whatsoever, we just go in different rhythms, us and the Universe, what can we do about it? Yes, just stay alive and keep going...
Now that's enough with my monologue, let's see the pictures!




This one is my personal favorite!!




Yes, the space is fascinating and epic! And beautiful too! All those fantastic colors enchants me a lot! I've been in love with it for a long time now, I didn't miss any of the documentaries on television when I was a child. I didn't learn much about physics behind it, and in school I never undestood it, I was terrible at this subject and honestly hated it (still do), but I did learn a thing or two about the space itself and I'm always fascinated by it! When I was having painting classes back in 2015, I even did a painting on the Nebulous of Orion!


It's not 100% accurate, of course, and it doesn't do justice to the real one, which was honestly expected, but it's one of my favorite paintings that I made! I even gifted it to my mom back in 2015, for her birthday! This post was supposed to be small, but omg it's getting really big! I should probably stop now!
Well... If you're still here, you're the best honestly, never forget about that! Thank you so much! See you next time!
