I Finally Figured It Out...

The world is completely fucked...

Hi, for now let's just say my name is Izzy, and this here is my new blog, The Unfiltered Mosaic.

I'm not new to this, but I'm not a seasoned professional either. I'm loud, even with a keyboard. Am I book smart? Not really, but man, life has taught me some hard-ass lessons you just don't get in a book. I am raw and UNFILTERED (see what I did there?). I tell the truth as best as I can.

I want this blog to be a safe place for ALL, and when I say ALL, I mean ALL. I don't care who you are. I don't care where you come from in the world. I don't care what the color of your skin, hair, or eyes is. I don't care if you're trans, gay, lesbian, or just plain confused. I don't care if you are on your last strand of hair or ain't got no damn teeth left in your mouth. I care about human beings. I care about you, the person reading this. And that's what I want to remind you of with this blog.

I want to remind you what a horrendously beautiful experience being on this planet is. I want to remind you that although we are all so different from each other, in so many ways, we are all very much alike. Not alike as in "I look like you, or sound like you, or think like you". I mean that we all go through this life doing much of the same things. We wonder, and we dream. We cry, and we laugh. We love, and we lose. We live, and ultimately we all eventually die. Isn't that so wonderful?

I know we live in a world, right now, where there is so much hate, fear, and evil. I know that it can be hard to find an escape sometimes. There is so much sadness surrounding us. Feels like every time we try to zoom out to see the bigger, better picture, there's someone else being shot at by a masked "agent", yet another school shooting somewhere, a mother who just lost her son to drugs or violence, a grandmother fighting to have just five more minutes, or someone sharing their final words in life. It gets hard, I know. But we can help each other to paint a bigger and better picture. I want to remind you of that.

Life in itself is the unfiltered mosaic. We are all pieces that make up this wonderful work of art.

So I welcome you into the world, the real world, The Unfiltered Mosaic.

PS. Remember you are worth so much, and you are so loved!
