You can’t go back. You can’t rewind. You can’t undo it. Unsay it. Unfeel it. Sometimes these things are mistakes - choices we regret very deeply. Sometimes they are traumas that cannot be undone, despite how desperately we wish they could. You’re here now because of all of the things you wish never happened, happened. Sometimes there is a power in that that must be recognised. That you have survived all your worse days, whether they happened to you or came from you - you’re still here. And you have further to go. Whatever hardship you have endured or conjured, I promise you that you are not alone in the history books of this world, and that good can still come from it. Love to all of you… spent a good chunk of time at St Christopher’s Hospice yesterday and I am happy to say my life is changed forever. There is so much of this world that goes unseen, but it’s there. #mrskelly #hope #past #trauma #beautiful

How is it already the end again? I don’t get it. Time goes quicker and quicker the older you get, and it feels like I can’t hold on to anything! But I suppose all things must come to an end, and there’s a reason and a purpose and beauty in that. See ya soon November. #mrskelly #october #life #vibes #fire

I had to do it. I had to do the voice over for this one. And playing in my head tonight over and over again, is my 5 year old son saying to me just before bed, “dad, can you cuddle with me for a bit?” Life is a gift, cherish every moment you can, there is so much terrible, horrible, tragic that takes place… and there is so much good, magical, beautiful, miraculous that takes place too. Please never forget that. #mrskelly #death #life #hope #love

To love at all is to put yourself at a hazard… you will be hurt. It is an absolute guarantee that if you work to love someone, if you struggle and toil, if you wait, pine, hope, and yearn for love, you will suffer to a degree. And it’s very important you understand this: It is not a bad thing. To love is to lose, one way or another, it is the full giving of yourself over. It is the vulnerability of your entire personhood, put at the mercy of another. And if it all works out, every single day is filled to the brim with only love and contentment - which is never the case for any life - it will end in a loss. One of you will die. And that grief is like a wound that never closes, the bleeding is sometimes profound, it spills out some days, and trickles in others. This is the cost to love someone. And because of that, it is one of thee most powerful weapons imaginable or otherwise. It’s how we can affect change in this world. There is so much good to be had in loving someone, even amongst the things that make loving so difficult. It is entirely a reflection of ourselves, the extend we allow who we are to be vulnerable to one another. It’s putting your heart in the hand of someone else and saying “please be gentle” and sometimes when the holder is going through hardship of their own, they hold on a little too tight, or let go out of fear, but you being vulnerable is never a sign of weakness. It is only ever a show of extreme power. Love. #mrskelly #animation #love #life #hope

Your life will change, it is impossible not to! How cool is that… something so humbling about the things we cannot stop, and change is one of them. You’re going to grow into a different person no matter how hard you resist, and you’re called to something better for yourself I promise you that. Please be mindful of the difficulty this will place on you. It might require giving up things you love, or lean on, it might mean you have to grab hold of something you previously didn’t enjoy, or tried to avoid. It might mean any number of things and they most certainly will endeavor to make you uncomfortable, that discomfort is your soul growing in the right direction. All the love to you as you learn this firsthand, give yourself grace. #mrskelly #hope #overcome #adventure #life

You don’t know what they’re going through, or went through, or how they were raised or weren’t. Some people have been put on this earth and have just done their very best just to survive. Just enough to make it to the next day. That looks different to all of us. It’s easy to assume that everyone should always be making the best decisions, but do any of us? It’s not an excuse for when we make mistakes that need to be rectified of course, it doesn’t absolve us of the responsibility to become better people. But what good will your judgement bring? What change? The best thing you can do for yourself, is to ask: “what could they have gone through, or be going through, that makes them so confident in how wrong they are?” I think behind every stupid thing done or said, is a scared person unsure of themselves. Of course I’m painting with a broad brush here. I think we all need to give, and take, a little more grace. I really loved animating this one… All drawn by hand, background is hand painted. No AI whatsoever. Love y’all. #fyp #light #cat #fall #chill

I heard this audio and immediately knew I had to share some of these together… Truth is, I get so caught up in trying to make things work, that I forget what it’s like to enjoy just making things. Every one of my hobbies has been commandeered by a rather modern notion of trying to keep up. Keep up with bills, with relevancy, with taking care of those around me financially. I feel like if I can’t take care someone financially, how can I do anything else? And so money begins to rule my life to an extent. And because I grew up poor, I fear ever going back to that. And I forget how important it is to just be a person, and not a machine. I set up all these invisible quotas for myself to meet, and everyone asks “Christian how are ya doing?” And I say fine, but I’m judging all the things I’m falling short of achieving. And then I remember that growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell, and how true is that quote. And I’m not meant to be a cancer, neither is my work, or my life. I’m meant to be here, in the present, laughing, making, doing things that mean something real. Some days you won’t do as well as before. Some years might slumps, what feels like backward sliding down a steep hill that you’ve taken so long to traverse. But maybe falling backwards isn’t always terrible. Maybe you’ll see a flower you didn’t notice before, maybe you become more grateful, and maybe that gratitude is meant to do more than you know. I hope everyone has had a good day, or is going to. Life is short. Make beautiful things for the sake of it, even if it’s imperfect, and even if it brings you nothing else. #mrskelly #life #childhood #grief #growingup

This is a true story. About a year ago, I was in the grocery store with my daughter Lavender, who is about 3. We were taking our sweet time walking down the aisle as I was trying to internally process about a million different things. All the while, kind of distracted by these thoughts my daughter was happily throwing things into our basket. I was trying to encourage my daughter, who is a bit fumbly and stumbly, on her ability to pick up stuff. When I told her “you’re doing such a good job” that same sentence was repeated back to me from over my shoulder. “You’re doing a good job” I quickly snapped out of my thought and interaction with my daughter and looked at this stranger. I wasn’t sure what I had heard so I asked him to repeat himself and he said “I said you’re doing a good job man” and he just walked away. I was dumbfounded, and immediately teared up. I have no idea who that stranger was, but those words were so needed in that moment. And it has stuck with me vibrantly in my head ever since. I wanted to permanently share the same vibe here… I hope y’all know good you’re doing. You don’t have to be perfect, but the fact you’re trying to do things right, to fix things, to give the best you can to yourself and or those around you… well, we all need this once in a while. You’re doing a good job. Animated entirely by hand, voiced by humans, including the voices of myself and my daughter, and my neighbor Jack. Sounds, music and backgrounds all made by humans too. I’m proud to be a human. #mrskelly #hope #animation #family #keepgoing

Well I just hit a wild milestone, 50 billion views. If every one of those views was only for 1 second each. It would be 1,584 years of collective time spent watching my work. Wild. And so my first thought is: “Is everything I’m sharing, good for this earth?” Is it all good for you? Does it help you, comfort you, challenge you, bring you peace? I hope so… but it also made think of something else, I’m just one person, and I achieved it in 2 years time. Imagine the collection of all of us, and how much we consume together… it must be eons worth of time. Is our best self, here on the internet? I met the love of my life on this app, now we have kids! But I’m on here a lot, and I don’t always like the content I see, but I stay here… how long for? Over half of my life has been on the internet. Is it all for the best of me? Does it make my life better? And now there’s AI, ai content, ai comments, ai fraud, ai food, ai slop… it’s like mush, chum, grey. I don’t care how beautiful can be, or how well it tricks my brain, I don’t want to lose reality. Not because I’m afraid of AI, but because I’m afraid of a world without people, humanity. Please create more than you consume, please, please, please. I know when I die, which could very well be tomorrow, I won’t have the internet flash before my eyes, it’ll be all of the time I spent with my family, and damn if I’m not just the biggest idiot alive for not prioritizing them every free moment I get. Create more. Consume less. Live your life. #mrskelly #life #viral #ai #humanity

Maybe it’s just the way it is. And maybe I have to be okay with that. Or maybe I don’t… Either way here I am, sometimes clutching the edge of my chair, not knowing where to put my attention and feeling like everything’s held together by hopes, duct tape and dry string. I don’t want to sound alarmist, but I feel a constant, dull sense of alarm. And I wonder why that is. Hope y’all enjoy this one. #mrskelly #anxiety #fyp #animation #thoughts
