Everyone’s obsessed with AI replacing creativity, but half the internet is already posting the same recycled takes, recycled aesthetics, recycled outrage. The real threat to art is our comfort with mediocrity.
i keep thinking about the line “discernment can make you the villain in a room where denial is the culture.” whoever said it really knew what they were on about.
"Good writing doesn't make you look smart; it makes readers feel seen. You can't win people over with intellect. You do it by describing something they've felt their whole life but never had the words for. "
I’m moving tomorrow and the older lady who lives next to me stopped me in the hallway tonight. She said, “I’m really going to miss you.” I smiled and told her I’d miss her too, and then she said something that completely broke me.
She told me every time I went out at night with my friends, she would stay up. She wouldn’t turn off her TV, wouldn’t go to bed, wouldn’t fully relax until she heard my door close and knew I made it home safe.
This whole time I thought I was just living next to a quiet neighbor. Turns out I had a guardian angel through the wall.
I’m leaving tomorrow and now I can’t stop thinking about all those nights I stumbled in late, tired and laughing, not knowing someone next door was listening for that small click of my door just to feel at peace.
Some people love you softly. So softly you don’t even realize you’re being cared for. 🖤😭
