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.

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 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

i make things as a hobby, whether it be bits of music, awful drawings, writing, whatever, and i find that i work best after admiring others’ art.
maybe it inspires me, maybe it’s just how things work in my head, but i feel that art, or any sort of creation, comes from creation, and so, it‘s ALRIGHT to use something else as a reference point, or rather, consume something before you create!!
i like just sitting with something for a while, eventually something pops into my mind and gets my thoughts going. sitting with an instrument and messing around makes it easier to make something up, or scribbling makes it easier to think of what to draw.
also, doing what’s best for you, whether that be taking ages to come up with an idea, and even longer to see it through, or making lots in a small amount of time. YOU do whatever is best for YOU, and probably your sanity. just generally loll
have a lovely day slayyyy 💕

I get crushes on people easy.
I sort of imagine a life with someone only after thinking about them a couple times. right now I have about four crushes, but I think it’s my want of a relationship, so so bad.
Equally I do not admit feelings for people. I would rather encourage someone to get in a relationship with someone else than admit my feelings, it’s like tending to an overgrown garden.
