(Self portrait) The appearance of rabidity

Collage of x-rayed skulls and black and white images of people and stars and a heart on a black background. Words tumble from the bottom: (Self portrait) The appearance of rabidity This anger is not only warranted but necessary. It is a rage built on a foundation of truth intertwined with a profound sadness. Not unreasonably rabid, but validly pissed off. The motivationally depressed, the despairingly determined. As awful as it can feel an embrace of these emotions to channel them where they’ll be best applied can strengthen resolve unite visions of how it can be better and lead to balancing the anger and sadness with joy and camaraderie. The fight is in us. The fight is us.
