Edvard Munch (1863-1944) "Love and Pain" (1895) Oil on canvas Expressionism Located in the Munch Museum, Oslo, Norway The painting shows a woman with long flame-red hair kissing a man on the neck, as the couple embrace. Although others have seen in it "a man locked in a vampire's tortured embrace – her molten-red hair running along his soft bare skin," Munch himself always claimed it showed nothing more than "just a woman kissing a man on the neck."

Nothing is more magical than starting a new beginning.
Sometimes it can be scary and even challenging when starting something new, but it also can be exciting to start a new adventure in your chapter of life.
Go all out and have fun while doing it! You’ll never know until you try, and if you end up enjoying it, don’t give up and keep going! I believe in you 💕

I too am a creature of vulnerability. perpetually afraid of the phantom that tomorrow is. in this hopeless wake of each day a knot of dread twists itself in my stomach. a constant reminder of what anguish life is without you.
