The Way Things Are Now Is Not The Way They Will Always Be

30.0 x 30.0 inches

Near the end of February 2022 my sister could see I was clearly not handling things very well. Even though I was working on accepting something I could not change, my head was stuck in a rabbit hole that was difficult to pull out of. She told me “The way things are now is not the way they will always be.” Well, yeah. But as superficial and obvious as that statement sounded, it still helped to hear it. Russia had invaded Ukraine only a few days earlier, and images of tanks rolling through the streets and countryside were littering the news. It felt like the entire world was just an open, raw nerve.
