want/wish
“Want” is naked.
Nightmare-naked. Like, everyone is pointing and laughing at your uncovered parts. Naked because it is the absence of something (leaf), probably something essential. It’s unwanted naked, rated high, the stakes even higher.
“Want” implies that there isn’t enough to go around. If you take it, it’s yours, but only if somebody else doesn’t steal it. Only if somebody else doesn’t get to it first. Gold in the backyard. You’ve been digging for a long time but have come up empty. There’s a price to pay, and no matter how ridiculous, you’ll cough it up, along with some of your dignity and your humanness and your kindness.
“Want” is blind. It doesn’t take into account anything but its own hunger, scoops the whole feast out of the pot onto the plate, eats it piping hot. No taste. It can’t see beyond the table which is an empty hole which is a prison.
Instead — “wish”.
I wish this for myself.
Because there is enough love in the world to go around. Because wishing in kindness for myself means I can wish in kindness for others. We have the same warm hungry hearts.

Riding bikes everywhere? Using recyclable diapers? Carpooling? We’ve been doing that in Eritrea for decades. Where’s our reward for saving the Earth? Why aren’t we plastered all over Time magazine? If we lived in the same disgusting, gluttonous fashion that Americans lived, this planet would no longer be able to sustain the human race. But yet, they blame the world’s environmental ills on “overpopulation” (code: poor brown people existing) and then usurp our lifestyle habits, trademark it as their own and pat themselves on the back for doing the bare minimum.
How convenient of such a narcissistic nation.

There were a few people who suggested I do a background set for the BBC-Sherlock series, so here is my attempt! I hope they’re recognizable: the top one is Sherlock and the bottom two are John’s different outfits. (While drawing these, I discovered that scarves and sweaters are really hard to draw correctly! >_<’ )
My other background sets: Doctor Who | Supernatural
Get out. I need to go to my mind palace.
