Bad times

Kids, I'm tired. Very tired. Very discouraged. I feel very small and very old right now.
I am a perennial person. A person who likes things that remain. Good things that are always there, when you need them. I think I am what they call a conservative.
But we live in crazy times now. There are a very large number of people shouting for change. Some of these changes are good and should happen. But many changes are absurd, and they are still happening. Inversion of values. Destruction of history and traditions. Dictatorship of the minority over the majority. Values (if we can call it that) of the Left.
I stopped watching TV more than 15 years ago because it was making me sick. The news always says the same things... powerful people fighting with other powerful people, creating problems that you can't solve but make you anxious. Accidents and tragedies and crimes. Food terrorism, always saying that yesterday's food, which was healthy, today will kill you.
Some time ago, social media was a welcome novelty... because, in the beginning, they were doing what they were supposed to do: bringing people together for healthy exchanges of ideas. Unfortunately, every tool can be used for good or for evil... and it was no different with social networks. The internet gave voice to imbeciles as well. And now they dominate social media. Always shouting furiously and attacking without mercy those who disagree with his ideas and ideologies.
I left Facebook more than a year ago because of these imbeciles. I left Twitter a few months ago because of these imbeciles. And now I think about abandoning, at least temporarily, Instagram. I had a big disappointment with an artist that I admired, just for political reasons. Very sad. I was considered a pig just for having a different idea.
I'm going to keep this account on Patreon and also the Deviantart account, you don't have to worry about that. All of you who follow and support me, you are all fantastic! Always kind and lovely with your comments. You have given me a great return, and I am very grateful for that. I will continue to bring you new arts, but maybe it will take a while now. As I said at the beginning, I am tired. Sad. I need to rest. I need to lift my spirit. I fell from the clouds and the fall was great. But I will fly again.
See you and thanks for all the fishes,
Nicklaw
