New! Destined to be improved! Probably not even mildly acceptable!

Stress sucks, and I want to manage it better. So I've been getting back into art. I've heard similar musings from friends. Some of our collective desire is undoubtedly due to being shocked out of complacency in the last year...
 

Fuck 2016. Hell-O 2017!

...but it's also probably due to the fact that we're all getting to THAT AGE where we realize we're not doing enough cool stuff. And we see other people looking pretty happy and so maybe if we did their stuff then maybe we can look happy too.

"Look kids! How exciting! I'll try fire next time too!"

We need to remember that it's a lot easier to look happy than BE happy. Plus the ever-loving "correlation vs. causation" argument applies here. So if the only thing we can do is try to take the edges off the corners of our misery, then so be it.

Also a nice art piece.

As for me, I want to go on adventures, create music, paint messy paintings, grow giant vegetables, bake ridiculous things, and most of all I want to encourage others to do the same. Some... I should think of a better name than "adult playgroup"... events are being considered.

Let's do this.
