White, Dave. Psychedelic Sunflower. August 18, 2024, Dave White Illustrations.
If fate were kinder,
By now, we would be holding hands.
In each other’s arms.
staring on both eyes,
Locking lips,
And laughing to the contentment of our hearts.
If fate were kinder,
We would have dreamt of our dreams.
And loved fully.
Feel that deep ecstasy and surrender.
Be drowned by eternal bliss.
If fate were just kinder.

Dave White’s Self-Growth and Kiana Jimenez’s I Am Your Disease confront the brutal reality of healing. Where the poem gives voice to addiction and inner destruction, the illustration reveals growth as resistance—messy, painful, and defiant. Together, they show that becoming whole means facing the shadow, not pretending it was never there.
Inadequate is a raw and unflinching reflection on self-worth, trauma, and the long road to healing. Through visceral honesty and poetic defiance, it voices the battle between doubt and resilience—the journey of reclaiming one’s power from pain, transforming “I am not enough” into a quiet, steadfast truth: I am.
A heartfelt reflection on love that could have been, If Fate Were Kinder captures the quiet ache of what never came to pass. Through tender imagery and longing words, it paints a portrait of two souls separated by circumstance, yet forever entwined by memory, desire, and the echo of possibility.
