love = love

March 26, 2013

love

Today marks the first day in which the Supreme Court will hear cases to legalize same-sex marriage.

I know this is a touchy subject, but it’s one that permeates through today’s society. Like any civil rights movement, LGBT movement has begun and will stay around until long after all of their rights are granted to them in the federal government. Same-sex marriage is just one right that’s being fought for and a major one at that.

Now, I’m not going to say that same-sex marriage is good or bad or whatever (this is not that type of post), but I will say that in a country where were value every human right to all freedoms, I think it’s a bit hypocritical not to grant same-sex marriage to all. This country has a nasty habit of mixing religion with the state when it really shouldn’t. The United States of America was founded on the basis of freedom from any and all prosecution religious especially. To say to someone they can’t get married because the Bible says it’s wrong, isn’t a justified answer. Not everyone in this country is Christian, or Jewish, or Islamic, or Hindu, or Buddhist. Some people are agnostic or atheist. Your own personal religious beliefs should never interfere between two people who love each other.

I mean, it’s like saying eating mushroom pizza is bad. So if you like mushroom pizza and eat it, you’re bad because of the association. But you like it. Just because a group of people thinks it’s wrong doesn’t mean it is…okay, that was a bad example but still.

It’s not like granting same-sex marriage to a wide group of people is going to destroy who you are as a person, whether you agree with it or not. Really, it’s none of your business to say what another person can or cannot do based solely on their sexual preference. If you as a heterosexual have the right, then any person, Homosexual, Bisexual, Transgender, Asexual should have that same right. Americans just like to dictate what people can or cannot do based on what they say is right and that seems a bit hypocritical and just downright selfish.

If love is love no matter what the circumstances  then why can’t we all just put our own personal beliefs, morals, ethics, whatever aside and accept love for what it is, in all its shapes, colors, textures, smells and sounds?

Love is love. Stop fighting it and embrace it for what it is.

A happiness note: The nicest things can happen wh A happiness note:

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Full flip-through of this art journal is up on my Youtube channel. Link in bio. xx
Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
