You had a Mcdonalds breakfast, Followed by a Grande Gingerbread Coffee Frappuccino,
You spent your lunch gossiping and bitching over your co-workers Instagram,
You go back to your job (You may love it or hate I don’t know… or care)
Your Co-worker (I’m gonna call her Suzi – Ceebs writing Co-worker all the time)
Suzi – the one you were bitching about at lunch cracks open a tin of homemade cupcakes or whatever…
On a day to day, we engage with different people and with each interaction we wear a different mask…
If you work or have worked in customer services you’ll know what I mean –
Your smiling and being all polite – but you just want to punch the customer in the face, and when you get out of the building you take a deep sigh of relief…
The sigh of relief is you taking off your mask, You can relax and be yourself again..
On your way home from work you have to pop round to see your Grandparents – So you put on your Grandson/daughter mask…
We wear these masks to project an image or identity to the rest of the world…
Nobody is coming to save you…
The only thing that stands between you and what you want…
Is the work.
Sometimes we know what we want & we know what we have to do to acquire it, That is the work.
But the problem we sometimes face is We don’t know exactly what the work is.
I finally got my brothers art framed… – @commixturedesigns (Instagram)

‘Memento Mori’ & ‘The Dance of Death’ could seem pretty morbid to the outside world, But when you break down the meaning they are very motivational…
‘Mento Mori’ – Meaning Remeber Death
‘The Dance of Death’ has a skeleton holding a crossbow with the caption
‘“Ma flesche (asseure toy) n’espargnera personne
Vous danserez trestout ce balet, que je sonnne”
Which translates to
“My arrow (I promise you) spares no one
You will all dance the ballet of which I sing”
– Meaning that we are all dancing to the ballet of life, Avoiding the Arrow… But one day as promised we will not be spared.
