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

Biologically speaking, yes procreation might be our reason to exist but human behaviour is far more complex than what biology says. creating something is the only way we can ever achieve happiness.
Every single one of us is an artist and we are all creatives. Create shit. Create weird shit. Create it for yourself. It doesn't matter if it's a shitty drawing, or a shitty little poem, or a shitty photograph... Just do it. The current technology has given us the means of doing whatever that fuck we want to do.
There are people doing absolutely crazy shit out there and nothing says we can't do it. Don't let some random person tell you what you can and cannot do (unless it's something terrible). Don't be afraid to be brash with your words. Don't always try to be marketable. The internet often censors the narratives it doesn't agree with but your art doesn't have to be on the internet. It's still valid if it's in your notebook or your hard drive.
Just fucking do it.

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

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 love being alone. i know who i am when i'm alone and i love myself when i'm alone. when i'm around people it's easy to forget and i get lost and aimless.
how do you share parts of yourself without feeling overexposed? even just sharing creative work makes me feel like it's not mine any more and makes me doubt the part of myself that went into making it. but i also feel so stagnant when i'm not putting anything out into the world. where is the balance? how do you deal with this?
