Buying your friends’ art

You get to not only support them and their work, but it’s the gift that keeps on giving as you get to surround yourself with the creative output of your favorite people.

Buying art

buy your friends art or buy a strangers art. not the mass produced stuff but that weird little sketch or painting or whatever. support folks, sometimes you find out 20 years later that someone was in the whitney biennial and you have one of their drawings from when they were a teenager and that’s pretty cool. buy stuff for $25 or $2000 or whatever you can afford - give your money to artists when you can!

sleeping with stuffed animals as an adult

This NYT piece from last year explains why it’s actually a Good and Normal thing to do. I used to have like six in the bed at once but recently culled my crew to two practical ones: this sleeping Charmander plushie, which I hug while I’m in the fetal position, and an Ugly Doll I put between my knees because it’s nice and flat. They're so comfy and I fall asleep in 30 seconds like this (also they’re cute and I love them)

WE are the universe experiencing Itself

Consciousness can be agonizing but it's also a miracle. Sometimes the pressure to make the most of it feels debilitating. There's so much I want to do, and I have to remind that the stuff that really gives life meaning isn't hard to access. I think making a true effort to know yourself, make connections with the people around you, and observe and engage with the world are more than enough reasons to justify your existence.
