"Submission" oil on canvas 2009. Love is sometimes a title we give as marriage.It doesn't always define Love. The codependency of needing someone to ride this life with you is a heavy pill. I've never needed anyone but my art, yet saying this feels hypocritical. We as humans are certain type creatures. We're like penguins or blue faced angel fish. We love living solo unless we find true love. The mind is a powerful thing in the way we perceive love. I've been so wild in the mind to think of ever being caught scares the wit out of me. I lay this card of Submission last. I made it 6 years ago at a time I was willing to surrender. After multiple heartaches I've stopped my bs games in Love. Life is too short to pluck people's chords and not own your actions. Love is a blessing, to receive it is fortune. I am brutally honest for one reason, I love you too much to be as cruel as others. To lie to you would be selling you the bullshit of the world.I just can't do people this way, I want an honest slate so why would I give the opposite? Love for me is being true to myself first and smiling to you that I'll be the same with you. That's a fair deal and I only want to give such when pertaining to my art. Humanity deserves such honesty and to go against the grain I just say: No. Instead I'll go against the bullshit grain and enhance humanity with my humility. The rebel of today only speaks kind and honest words unless laughter is followed by sarcasm. In this life we all need to be tough with what we want and fierce in our honesty or we confuse the universe in what we want. We all want Love at the end of the day but can we be more clear on its definition? Games are for the children not adults in denial. Submission for me is laying all my cards on the table and demanding the same from you in a fair deal. I smile for most of the time people play dirty and trip up when you are this pure in heart. Purity takes a lot of work, it's like scraping the sand in meditation. This mental meditation is a daily battle only you can conquer. I conquer mine daily and lay my mind to rest at peace with my soul. What can I say: I love me. Do you love you?
