“the unkown v.2″
A smaller version i created this evening.
“The unknown”
As humans we are challenged to overcome our fears. We are told to conform and stay safe. I dont want that. So i painted this with that in mind. When someone reads my ulogy i want it to say that i overcame my fear and stepped into the darknes with curiosity. Maybe the unknown is just a color we havent seen yet. Personally i long for freedom. But, that unfortunately is what has become “the unknown” and what should be natural has now become a faint memory. So i quit my job so i could play more like this.

“Fight for flight”
In the middle of a recession my bank offers me, a poor artist, to increase my MasterCard credit frame with 10.000,- but there is no way they will even talk about giving me a house loan. I have had debt up `til my ears just hardly being able to breathe before. Just a couple of years ago i was forced to make some financial decisions that screwed me over for my entire student life. Now that i have managed to clear most of my debts, (of course my student loan is there forever…) they ask me if i would like to stick my head up my ass again, right before i go freelance. NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
All i wanted a couple of years ago for me and my ex was a house we could live in so we could be comfortable. It felt horrible being laughed at. So painful. And now they are doing it again. “Here, have some more stupid. Come on, take it. We know you want it.” Where in god’s name is the sense in that!” A poor soul will never be able to save up 15% of 2.4 mill but the bank will throw money at him and demand sadistic rents afterword. In Norway It’s impossible to buy a house or an apartment without a well-paying steady job ,especially not if you are a parent. Therefore I am forced to be throwing 20% of my income away every month on paying rent because there is no faith in people who prefer freedom from slavery. Lifestyle and self-realization has a price. Walking your own path is excruciating some times like that. It can tear up everything if you let it. In this case, it is the “1%” spitting on the “99%” damn it. For now, I am rich in other ways thankfully
But i do feel sorry for all those families that wouldn’t be able to buy a home to live in. There must be some sort of trust to be given to honest hard-working people when rich people can get away with anything. Right now i don’t need a house, but it would be nice to get one some day when I have a family. Everyone deserves to have a home. Please share
