do it for fun, not because you’re good

i’m such an advocate for regular ass people doing art. or anything new that “requires skill” really we are so scared of doing things because we’re not any good at them. so what. karaoke with the confidence of a popstar even if your voice cracks and you don’t know breath support. paint even if it looks like a toddler made it. play the same three guitar chords and paint your furniture with a kitchen sponge and try to bake macarons. it’s so sad that people who aren’t, like, professionally skilled, get laughed at for their art. or like i said, trying any skill that isn’t honed yet there’s something so important and human in the arts, its such an amazing outlet but people refuse to tap into it because they “can’t draw a stick figure” or “write too cliche” or “have two left feet”. DO IT POORLY!!!!! DO IT SCARED!!!!! DO THE THINGS YOU WANT TO DO DEEP DOWN IN YOUR SOUL EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU’RE BAD AND FEEL EMBARASSED!!!!! let yourself have fun with things!!!!!!!! it shouldn’t be a competition all the time. you probably are not ariana grande, but you’re allowed to have fun singing and stuff too. if you have a voice in your head that laughs at you when you’re not immediately good at something, learn to gently correct it. tell it you’re learning and you’ll never be any good at something if you don’t have the courage to just….start. somewhere, anywhere

Being seen trying!

Jump into your hobbies and passions!! And who gives a shit if you’re bad at them!! Let yourself be perceived, let yourself be bad, and let you be seen trying, because at the end of the day it is YOU and YOUR WORK, and YOU will be the one living with the regret of never having done anything at all.

let yourself be bad at something!!

Make things, stop thinking about making things and just make things. Don’t make things that potentially will make a profit. Let yourself fail (which you probably aren't). Don’t even tell anyone you want to start, take the pressure off it. We aren’t all child prodigies. THATS OKAY! and GOOD! Stop thinking, start doing :)

Be uncomfortable

Being comfortable is nice when it’s a reward but as a state of being it’s boring and makes you boring and a boring life is a waste of whatever this is supposed to be. Go be uncomfortable (me talking to me)

Koyaanisqatsi

A wordless semi-doc about the evolution of the world through the lens of industrial “progress” scored brilliantly to Phillip Glass being as glass-ian as possible. So. Good.
