“I feel I can give you everything without giving myself away, I whispered in your basement bed. If one does one's solitude right, this is the prize.“
Great reminder that every season of our life, even the more lonely ones, have the potential to bring us closer to the world, ourselves and eventually other people ❤️🔥

The art that you spend so much time with in solitude takes on a version of you. Maybe the work you make isn’t necessarily something you share easily with openness. Maybe you don’t feel that you say the “correct” things in the moment and the right words find you later on. I definitely feel that way.
Opening up myself and being vulnerable has never been easy for me. I grew up in a family where affection was never loud. Love was tuned in silence.
Recently sharing my art, an extension of my love, has been a bit scary, but rewarding. A closeness and intimacy is shared that leads to a clearer understanding.

“It seems as If I am always climbing the dangerous ladder to reach romance and always slipping down again. But wait- I am going to leave romance for other things now and climb the ladder of knowledge. Perhaps the most perfect friendship in the world is one that does not ask for anything”

In an increasingly polarized and alienating world, I take pride in my ability to find common ground with almost anyone. My friends joke that I’m psychic—that I pick up on people’s emotions and inner lives with uncanny accuracy—but I think it’s just a result of deep listening and genuine curiosity.
Ask people about themselves and really listen. Ask them follow-up questions. Find out what makes their hearts sing and what keeps them up at night. You’d be surprised how much you can relate to, even in those who seem fundamentally different from you.
The human experience is universal, and at the end of the day, we only have each other.

So sweet to send them to thank them for your shared experience, and I’d much rather look at one of these than ten pics from that day

go to events even if u think they’ll be iffy - better to have some memories of living life than none, go to library, go sit on the nearest grass
also u can’t expect good arts and culture if u don’t support the bad/amateur stuff as well 🦀

Eg in shower, on walks, during commute, making dinner, to go to sleep, getting dressed. be able to do all these comfortably in silence. then u can try phase them back in in a way where they actually contribute something and ur not just listening for the sake of it
