not necessarily forever, but that scarf you make may end up in the thrift one day and another person may wear it. that embroidery piece you create thats on your wall right now will probably end up on someone else's wall in the future. I have so many beautiful things that people have made and I don't know their stories, but I can appreciate their art. and the things I make probably won't stay with me. and art I've lifted to others will be passed on to even more people that I have no connections too. I love being alive and being human and having this small connection with people I have never and will never know

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

My father is a wood, stone, reclaimed materials, and xeriscape artist and resents that he‘s subjected to the gaze of an audience if anything. I know with absolute certainty that he would feel compelled to create beautiful things even if he were the last man on earth, even if there were nothing left to build with. it’s the way he interfaces with the world! I think that’s very common among the most humble working artists who really do it for their craft and it’s why they’re able to be so prolific. Many of these artists don’t become known until after their deaths, if ever.

I was bullied a lot for my eye color as a kid (because me having very dark brown hair and very dark brown eyes made me look "evil", apparently) and, naturally, began to dislike them. but as I've gotten out of school and away from people who put me down, I've realized how insane it is to bully someone over their eye and hair color and grown to love the color of my eyes. I mean, they may be dark but there's nothing wrong with that. and I can take pretty pictures of my eyes too, I just have to blind myself and almost stare into the sun to do so lol

recently, when I wake up in the morning and have time to kill, I've been spending a bit of time reading before or after I get myself ready to go about the day instead of sitting on my phone when I first wake up. I feel like it helps clear my mind for the day and it feels nice to not immediately scroll when I wake up like I used to

"yap" about the things that interest you all you want; enjoy your hobbies and pour your heart into them, stop worrying about if what you're into is "cringe"; if your friends don't like your hobbies/interests and put you down for enjoying them, find people that will; surround yourself with people you love who love you back and you will be so much happier than the people that are so quick to put others down for pursuing their happiness
