i'm feeling kind of nervous lately. like the kind of nervous that gets under your skin and makes your stomach shiver.

i guess, lately i've been working on my thesis illustrations that all have to do with environmental issues and animal cruelty and some of the things i've learned in the past few weeks on those topics... well, they just kind of rupture my view of humankind. i know that's bad to say, and i know a lot of people believe humans should constantly be put at the top of the list of importance in terms of um, pretty much everything... but i don't get why we insist on being so careless with the planet we were given and the non-human inhabitants who live here as well. it's honestly not fair. i think the saying, "treat others as you want to be treated" should be applied in every situation possible, whether we be dealing with our planet, or with the animals and other organisms that share it with us. key word: SHARE... who put us in charge of everything? who said that we should be allowed to exploit every resource and animal? it's disgusting. sometimes i think about some of the damage humans have caused and i wonder how we got where we are. where did we lose sight of treating what we have, and treating others, with respect?

oh... and then the other day, someone in class brought up 2012... and showed this video on some movie that is coming about about it. so then, i got all worried, and i did the one thing i shouldn't have done: i started looking into it and now am terrified about the horrific possibilities of that year... it's definitely made me feel pretty paranoid about the future. it's really scary to not have any true answers about whether or not we will even be around then. an apocalypse? the human race extinct? could it really happen?

...i hope not.

maybe it's silly that i wonder things like this, but in the back of my mind, as much as i think "oh, it won't happen"... there is part of me that worries it will. :-(
