. The value of 'It'. By Ross E F Lombardi. . Carrying your pain alone won't make you stronger... ... but it will spare others, - you selfishly, - Inflicting yourself on their already overburdened lives. . Your emotional debts are not others to carry, - Or pay for you. The pain is Yours. . It is the only thing that is Really Yours. It's the one thing that won't abandon You, Or that can Never Ever be stolen from You, against Your will. Your pain is the one consistant constant, - In your life, - That You can always rely on being there. . Some say "Let go of your pain and heal" - That idea is terrifying! I'm not sure who I am, - Who I would be, - Without that pain. Without the pain? Is there anything else left of me remaining? What if 'pain' is all that I am? What if without it? - I am left with nothing? What if without it? - I Am Nothing? . Pain. It won't make you stronger, . But it is a vital landmark in an otherwise confusing and frightenin...

And swap the bottom of the shoe graphic with some other famous person's photo and/or name. Then I have no way of stopping you at all... ...Just saying... . . . . . . Bellow: The original photos of my art that I used to make the cartoon.  If you happen to want access to this source photo... . .

. I have been having serious doubts about my "life path" for quite a while now. The current path of = (becoming a known as a writer and artist, creative, fall in love again and work towards some happy ever after.) - I am not sure this is the path I should be on. It almost seems like a just a slightly "cooler" version of the same bog-standard career and relationship path that everyone else is on. But under the bright packaging, the contents are exactly the same as a career in accountancy, or  management or any other professional wheel. It is just yet more chasing of money, reputation and status under a different mask. With a search for love also being just the private life equivalent of exactly the same thing. - I am kinda hoping for a random sign that I am using my life the right way. - Basically, if I don't get a major sign or breakthrough by the end of April, then I feel I need to ask myself some serious questions about personal purpose and meaning. - I'm...

. NOT ALL MEN?? . The problem is that to my mind, It really IS ALL men. Including Me! And short of self-mutilation: My options are very limited! (But I am so terrified of becoming like my genetic wife-beating father that in my darkest moments it has still crossed my mind as a potential option! Better castrated than a monster!) The thing All of Us Men have crawling at the back of our heads causes me nightmares, suicidal depression, self-loathing, and dangerously homicidal thoughts when some Tate-worshipping arse talks about being an "alpha male", Despite being male I understand why the #Killallmen hashtag exists! And even though I do not support that hashtag, I have seen more than enough in my life, far too much, from being a frightened toddler onwards, to know that the men haters have a Very valid point! .

. Ladies! Past your 30s it is Just as insane to want an unscarred heart, 'emotional virgin' undamaged man. As it is for an incel to "demand" a physical virgin woman! At a certain age... ...it is not only 'not gonna happen', But it also - 'shouldn't happen' - even if it could! Men with broken hearts are Not despoiled damaged goods! A man does Not need to be in "first ever love" with you,  For it to still be real love! . You do not have to "Be his first love" . Our past hurt does not diminish our future feelings for someone new! .

. SOMETIMES CRUSHES ARE BETTER LEFT AS CRUSHES! . While sometimes this is because you never really get to know them, The glamour fairy dust never falls from your eyes... . Sometimes you DO get to know them, And you realize that although the crush is powerful and feels hard to deal with, That You would both be really, Really, REALLY bad for each other and make each other miserable! - A bit like a moth and flame situation - IF - Both of you were moths made out of flames - BUT - Despite being made of flames yourself the other person's flame was a weird magical flame that still scorched you, - And your strange flame still scorched them! - Neither of you is immune to the other person's special cursed flame. - That this 'opposite flame' would still burn each other to death. - Really caring about someone is about NOT being selfish, And NOT making things about YOU! If you honestly DO care about them, Then you will do what is right, And put their happiness FIRST! - Instead of yo...

   All that money and Elon has somehow Not heard of a PR consultant?? I do hate the guy, but with all that money and with all this self-sabotage... ...at some point you gotta ask "Is the person who hates Elon musk the most, In the entire world?" " - Perhaps Elon Musk himself??!" ? "Is he in pain?" "Is he suffering?" Does he in fact, "Need Help??" #elon # musk #Question #Hate #Selfhatred

. WIP A2 "By Sea Moorland Moonscape" . Notes Normally, I don't bother with Color Theory Simply because I care more about composition and meaning, . And because I make stuff for people who are 'Not' from certain types of background, and more who are from more "everyday backgrounds". (I.E. My own family and friends I grew up with, - NOT art professors and art critics!) - People for whom Black is just "Black" and not a "Type of Black". People who can just "like" something without feeling that need to intellectually justify liking something. People who FEEL Art (even though they are unlikely to step into an art gallery - which is a deep shame!) - rather than those who "study" art! . But I felt annoyed this morning and decided to prove that I could do it "IF", I wanted. This is only to prove a point... ...That Color Theory is NOT that hard, - And that it is NOT that big of a deal! . Basically, This is a "...

Just a quick reminder of why I sell my art so cheap. It is Not a lack of confidence,  It is out of... SPITE! That simple.

 

. - Hope invites pain, If I can learn, somehow, to "Give up" instead, And make do with the life I have, It might give me peace of mind. - A peace of mind I never had before - If I could, somehow, learn to quit hoping for more, Then, finally, I might be able to learn how to be happy! .

. History repeats.... by . Cheryl Lynn . doSnstoper190u50gla145g79518h9i938mi0aa01gm5ami9i8a608iaim8a · . History repeats....   Cheryl Lynn Writes  . In 1923 Adolf Hitler incited an insurrection against the German government. He was tried, given a slap on the wrist, and became a convicted felon. Despite being treated charitably by the judge, Hitler claimed the trial was political persecution and successfully portrayed himself as a victim of the "corrupt" Social Democrats. Hitler positioned himself as the voice of the "common man," railing against the "elites," cultural "degeneracy," and the establishment, who he all labeled as "Marxists." He claimed the education system was indoctrinating children to hate Germany, and promised to return Germany to greatness. To solidify his base, Hitler masterfully scapegoated minorities for the nation's problems, exploiting societal divisions with an "us vs. them" narrative. Many German...

? Good Narcissist? by Ross E F Lombardi... ? I was thinking about the power that Narcissists have. The power they wield and misuse. ? THERE IS A LOT OF POWER THERE! A LOT! And this got me thinking... IF you learned all these same skills? At least theoretically? This power? Could this weaponized ability be turned around? Could it be used for good? ? Could they be used to heal and help instead of control and damage? Could you utilize these same abilities to empower someone instead of taking their personal power away? Could you use the same tools to build someone's self-confidence that narcissists use to take confidence away? Could you "manipulate" people into feeling hope, trying their best and becoming more independent? ? Can you bring a couple closer together? - Instead of sowing discord? ? Could you give someone more inner strength? And hope? Instead of trying to get a date for yourself? ? Give someone greater freedom through their own higher inner-self revealed? Rather ...

Note: Text made extra small and hard to read on purpose... . Attracted? To me? . Romantically Speaking: They aren't! Being loved is NOT one of my abilities or talents. . I have to learn to come to peace with that if I ever want some shadow of some version of happiness. - I must find a different, better way, of giving my life substance and meaning. Some definition beyond my own identity and mere happiness. . Don't get me wrong! I have a high sex drive and am hellish romantic! . BUT instead of spending the rest of my life feeling lonely and whining like a little bitch about it. I should instead take ownership of who I am and accept the situation instead. . - So, To that end, I am going to wait until my E-Harmoney subscription (that I am stuck with) runs out on the 19th of July 2026, THEN (if I am still sin...

. What does Britain have that America doesn't? : Answer: "Britain has," " figuratively," " America heaving and sweating above our limp body" "while they fill our arse with their toxic diseased corporate system rancid cum" - And obviously, America has not got that! . - As an English Person: I am getting a little sick and tired of the UK being the USA's political prison bitch all the dam time! Can any of our political leaders, please, in any of our main political party's, of ours, pretty please, tell the USA to finally fuck off! . We are NOT some de-facto 51st state of America! .

ROSS New CARTOON: "THE END IS..." Not really meant as a "Work of Art" at all... ...Only Just meant as a silly A3 cartoon for laughs.

 . Dead but free . I DO believe in the supernatural, BUT I don't like any of those beings! I don't trust any of them! Not a single religion, pact, faith, spell, prayer, hex, fetish, token, or bit of "fluence" is worth the price you have to pay. And you ALWAYS have to pay eventually! .  - They are all like the worst most brutal loan sharks imaginable but with aethereal stuff! . I'd rather stay the spiritual equivalent of a Homeless person, disenfranchised and outside of the normal supernatural world, but free!  - Even IF that means death comes figurative wintertime! .
