Here for the symbolism hiding in plain sight.

The universe loves creation!

The Romans believed a genius was a Spirit and they honored it, made offerings, and left room for its help.

Centuries later, German Romantics helped turn genius into something a person was: the extraordinary mind became the source of the work. All the brilliance had to come from within them, and so did the pressure to produce it again.

And this is all much bigger than just art inspiration. Einstein spent years with the questions that led him to relativity and Tesla described the solution to a problem appearing while he walked thru a park. The work prepared them to recognize what came.

I want to be ready when ideas pop up for a visit. Give it time, take the lovely walk, stay in motion, keep something nearby to write on.

Ideas are lil entities with their own timing, I can’t tell them when to arrive but I can meet them at the pond.

The most magnetic person is a walking contradiction. Someone who forgives easily but simultaneously holds incredibly high standards for themselves and those around them. Shameless and goofy, yet deeply disciplined. This type of person will either inspire others to become more themselves or will trigger those who still deny their own desires.

@anomalie_blue @sweetlttlelamb Whole heartedly agree 🫶

@eroticacid This is so so so important & u explained beautifully Gu!

[Gu 🤑 @eroticacid]

nothing shuts up your inner critic faster than being creative badly on purpose. when you get ideas out that are messy, stupid, or wrong, the perfectionist monster that lives in your prefrontal cortex and sabotages your flow state gets small. then you can play

@boringextasy Or travel, the besssst ones are in Europe anyway haha I’m on same boat rn tho, lucky if u even see a club in the entire state (not that I’d go to regular clubs lmao)

[Victoria @Vicky]

I really miss my underground techno degenerates nonconformists artists friends in Chicago.

[Victoria @Vicky]

@gcccmharding Idk they usually don’t visit me before I’ve taken action, it’s usually in middle of work. But also walking, just movement in general really helps

When the flow state hits

[Victoria @Vicky]

Creativity gets rid of anxiety.

Anxiety narrows your thinking around “what could go wrong”, it’s storytelling, circling same thought, possible threats. But give it something to make and suddenly it has choices to make, details to notice, a next step to take. Creativity is asking you to generate possibilities and pulling your attention toward what’s in front of you.

But anxiety can also make it harder to create. Usually the way out of the loop is to make something badly (an eye sore, appalling even) for 30 mins, or even less, just to get the creative juices flowing again.

[` @aas_ker]

without drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression??

[Victoria @Vicky]

I never speak in absolutes, could be different for someone out there, but works for me && many ppl I know!

[Victoria @Vicky]

Focused attention, expressing feelings you haven’t put into words, & gaining a sense of control as you make choices. Even choosing the next color or sentence gives your mind somewhere to move! Creative work truly is sacred.

@edward_gonzo U need a Brazilian, minimum of 2 showers per day even when it’s cold

@brxfastsolstice Lovely synchronicity, I took this picture yesterday

[Victoria @Vicky]

If a lil idea entity comes to you and you don’t act upon it then it’s just gonna *swoosh* fly to the next person.

[Victoria @Vicky]

Magic is when an idea chooses its maker.

I don’t want to “mog”. I want to be beautiful in a way that makes everyone around me more beautiful, that illuminates everyone’s beauty and makes them aware of their own magic, like a sunset and its golden light.

@charliebcurran Truly special, Smartbar was my 2nd home for so many years. And ppl will say Detroit is the home of house or techno but I believe it’s Chicago lol
