Faking it

Literally everyone is doing it in one way or another. Faking confidence, faking knowledge, faking being OK all the time. You aren’t falling behind—everyone is just really good at pretending they know what they’re doing and have their shit together.

feigning confidence

doesn’t matter how out of place you look, you just gotta play the role and your energy will shift accordingly

LIFE AS AN ARTIST

i’m so worried for the future. while i try to just live in the present, i‘m afraid ill never be able to really make it in any art, and it will just be relegated to hobby. i’ve always been an artist, i’ve been writing, and painting, singing, and acting since i was a child. there’s nothing i feel more deeply in my bones than artistry. there is nothing i feel defines me more, i am full of an insatiable providence to engage and really make something. i don’t care what it is, if it’s music, or acting in films, or physical art, i an ordained to act as a vessel for things to be seen. but i understand, its not a career of value, or the industry is competitive, and it breaks my heart to think i may never be able to fully commit myself to it all. already, i find myself making exceptions, applying as a film studies major, because it would be more versatile, but still allow me to work closely with those circles. if i can’t be within i can stay close. but i will miss it, sidelined, benched. i guess i’m in early mourning of a dream.

AI >:(

why tf is my mother, a harvard graduate, working on her SECOND MASTERS (?) telling me to use AI for everything? i told her it’s inauthentic and she said “schoolwork is inauthentic”. what happened to the art of grappling with language? “the ideas are mine,” but language in itself is yours. people need to start doing things they actually find passion in more. maybe then it will seem less of a chore to do basic fucking work.
