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

👣was at an art museum today just totally lost in thought about how alive everything was and how hundreds of ancient hands touched the things i was seeing and being someone who makes things myself i reflected both on how hard it was but also how we’ve been doing things like ceramics the same way for lifetimes now. art is so alive because of all the hands it took to make it and because of its very human purpose. i comb my hair and someone also combed their hair and drank and fought and loved it’s just their objects are on display for antiquities purpose and mine aren’t. we’re all just little walking museums full of interiority and maybe one day these words will be indecipherable to someone. empires rise and fall but we are all still combing hair and building things making with our hands. humanity is really so beautiful when we aren’t killing eachother.

🐚as someone who has studied a lot of ancient art from the Mediterranean the best measure of a culture are the things that arent "necessary". what people do when they aren't just surviving is often the most meaningful display of who they are. in my opinion, creation is a cardinal trait of humanity; it's how to connect, it's how we communicate, it is how we find meaning. not only is gathering around art something essential to community which again is a cornerstone of humanity, but it makes people feel understood and seen. art is never useless!

🥽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

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
