Description

I decided to mint this piece now and I am not sure why. This was created in 2012 when I was in Rio visiting my family. Despite this being a simple sketch, this drawing means SO much to me - and is simply how I feel right now. Lost and in deep sleep. The text around the figure is telling the story of Saint Francis of Assis. I was born on the 4 October and this is the day of his feast. I am fond of Saint Francisco and his story, maybe because I share so many similarities with the way he choose to live his life. I have too walked away from a rich life that someone was trying to be shove down my throat. A life I hadn't been actively participating in its creation, therefore not mine. I have too walked away naked with no much below my arms. From that life I wanted to leave all I could behind. I have too put myself second so many countless fucking times to prioritise the well-being of others around me, to the point of my detriment. (NEVER AGAIN) I have too lived in misery, with little but yet happy. I am not sure why this image wants to be here today, but today it is finally coming home. I feel so down and weak right now, but I do not want to forget this day, because this is too part of who I am. One more thing to look back. One more failure, one more victory. I mustn't forget who I am. . . . Lord, grant me the strength to change the things I can, the serenity to deal with the things I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference.
