Red and Black, 1888
Edvard Munch
I’m not interested in being easy on the eyes
I want them to flinch, think twice before they reach out their callous hands to bruise.
I want to be a constant reminder to men that not everything is theirs for the taking.
You never get to the point where you think “I am the adult”, but you do get to the point where you think “I’ve dealt with this before.” The older you get, the higher and higher the percentage is of things you’ve already been through. Have you ever changed a tire? Had a flat tire? Someday, you might, and the next time it happens, you’ll know what to do, since you’ve already done it.
