i think our only purpose in living is to be people, to be individuals and realize our selves into the world
and each thing we make or say or do contributes a little to building that self’s presence in the world
it’s broader than art but art is the clearest example. things are only beautiful if they are expressive of a person on the truest level

thinking of my daily routines (hair care, makeup, choosing an outfit) as performance / short lasting art expression has made me feel more excited, creative, and connected to the experience of being alive. art doesn't have to stand the test of time to be significat AKA LIKE YOUR ONE BEAUTIFUL HUMAN LIFE. helps with my existential panic

just had an epiphany about how everyone seeks something different from art, how we all perceive it based on who we are as individuals … for the longest time in art/film school i’ve been scared to pursue the art i want out of fear that it will turn out very bad.
but i hope we make art anyway despite that fear, as long as it sustains ourselves and the people who matter. i hope we all get to freely make “bad” art 🫂

i always think about the cycle of consumption
Art is to be made to be consumed and we do, but the other art needs to be made so in the same way a dentist needs a dentist. Who is at the end? Are we not in a deficit of creation?
i think about this often, it reminds me of the crywank dog on the album cover, or a snake eating itself. or all those monkeys typing what I’ve already written here in an infinite timeline.
all this to say not all art needs to be good and we shouldn’t create art to be good.

i love being alone. i know who i am when i'm alone and i love myself when i'm alone. when i'm around people it's easy to forget and i get lost and aimless.
how do you share parts of yourself without feeling overexposed? even just sharing creative work makes me feel like it's not mine any more and makes me doubt the part of myself that went into making it. but i also feel so stagnant when i'm not putting anything out into the world. where is the balance? how do you deal with this?
