Crayola Lives Matter. Remember when this was a thing? Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Turquoise, Magenta, Grey. We all hopped on that bandwagon, did we not? It seemed anyone willing to jump into the ephemeral spotlight got their moment.

Disorganized direction, conflicting agendas. And just like a short-form video, the moment was past tense and irrelevant just as quickly as it became a trend. The buzz faded like a PR campaign and suddenly Squid Game became our priority.

Timelessness is seldom when entertainment precedes meaning. When trends supersede values. When intention recedes immediate gratification. Gen Z is not to blame. We are all responsible for this on-demand compulsive game show.

Quoted From Euphoria

“There’s so many revolutions that everybody’s a revolutionary. The rich. The poor. The right. The left. The young. The old. The beggars. The bankers. Man… is it beautiful. Everyone all at once, fighting one revolution after another.

I tell you, I never thought I’d see so many revolutions in my entire life. The revolutions are fought and won so damn fast that the people don’t even have time to implement change, because have you heard? There’s a new revolution.

A true revolution has no allies… Because a true revolution, not a fast one, not a quick one, not a fashionable one, but a real f***ing revolution, is at its core, spiritual. It is a complete decimation of one’s priorities, beliefs, and way of living.”
