Endings Are…tremendously Painful As They Are Beautiful. Endings Are The Beginning Of A New Dawn, As

It’s all about learning how to respect yourself. It takes a while, you may struggle from time to time, but it’s all about you. We are the only ones with 100% power over ourselves, your mind will believe everything you tell it. Make it think positive thoughts. You have multiple choices in this world and you could change something in a day. Nothing good comes out of hating ourselves, but everything good comes out of loving ourselves. I say, if loving yourself is too much, learn to like yourself first. It’s hard to go from constant insulting yourself to constant complimenting yourself. Take it slow, you’ll get there. Distance yourself from the negativity and triggers and surround yourself in positivity and thinks that make you glad you’re alive.

Oedipus and Antigone, n.d. Franz Dietrich (German, 1838-1890). Crocker Art Museum.

Dietrich depicts the tragic aftermath of the story of Oedipus from Sophocles’ play. The king of Thebes, Oedipus was abandoned as a child because of a prophecy that he would kill his father and marry his mother, both of which subsequently happened. The tragic revelation drives him insane, and he blinds himself and wanders the world with his daughter Antigone. 

Why spend even one day searching for someone else when it could take a lifetime to find yourself?

A narrow table fits nicely into this windowed bump-out. 

I love people who take the time to decorate for each season.
