Has Love Become Outre?

I thought about love recently. Classmates I had from my various schoolings used to be friends. Each week I was eager to meet them. Our relationships were filled with love. But since graduating the relationships have soured. They are filled with jealousy and envy. I often wonder why. Is it because I got to stay in Canada and my works? I remember thesis in 2019. It was labour intensive to produce works. I made two looping videos and audios to criticize conflicts, governments, policies, big money,  wars and many political events. It’s about loving and protecting nature. Right after graduation I moved on to write about indigenous art and artists. I deleted some of those works because I felt it wasn’t perfect. Then recently I started to make videos and texts taking advantage of adobe free trials. All these videos and texts were autobiographical. It extended from my interests in 2021 or so about autobiography. In all these works I assume a transnational identity voicing my frustrations, opinions and works. Recently I have been staying at home. I worked on my blog a lot writing about news and experiences. I applied for many jobs as well. I hope this worked out. Etc.
