A reminder that the swirling chasm of capitalism is *not* the only way. We have the power to be kind and soft and caring. We can give, share and lend. The world does not have to be like this.
The world is cruel so I choose not to be. #emotionalbirds
A matte vertical poster that blends soft, hand-drawn illustration with a bold, introspective message. A small, crested bird perches on a branch against a wash of warm pinks and starburst accents while the text reads: “The world is cruel so I choose not to be.” The museum-grade paper and giclée printing keep the watercolor-like tones rich and true, while the matte finish reduces glare and gives the piece a quiet, gallery-ready presence. It hangs easily in a reading nook, bedroom, or studio — a gentle reminder to respond to the world with kindness rather than harshness. Fits into calm, mindful spaces and complements eclectic, vintage, or cottagecore decor.
Why it connects: The illustration’s delicate linework and the poster’s soft palette invite slow looking. The statement feels personal, not preachy — a companionable affirmation for someone who values tenderness in a rough world. Bring it into a cozy corner to soften a room or gift it to someone who collects thoughtful art that speaks to compassion and quiet resistance.
