This is a sort of a cult I was born into but still believe in. Psychoanalysis isn’t therapy and finding a good psychoanalyst is as hard as finding a good artist. Most of you who think you’ve gone to therapy have never been to Psychoanalysis. Analysis was fashionable, then it wasn’t, then it was... now my feeling is it’s no longer fashionable. No matter, it’s an advantage to have dipped your toes into the psychoanalytic waters. I don’t think it makes you “annoying” or “bad at art, or whatever" that’s a cope employed by people who are resistant to productive regression on the grand ole couch.

I highly recommend seeing a Lacanian analyst and then becoming one. AMA (or don't).

Dear Haters, keep sucking, I’m about to cum(plete this list). Being a lover is powerful. Being a lover is productive. Being a hater is cucked and pathetic.

I didn’t touch grass until I was 16 years old, but it changed my life for the better! Nature can be more restorative than man-made cures/therapies, so how can I not recommend touching grass!

Joseph Campbell said, “follow your bliss.” Cynics be like, “Sure, Vack, I follow my bliss every night to the River (bar)!” Don’t listen to cynics. Instead, stand with Joe and me, and dream the impossible dream. Following your bliss does not mean chasing pleasure, it is pursuing the life you truly want. The life you envision when you get quiet and stop thinking. Remember, your “plan B” is someone else’s “plan A,” so go for “plan A!”
