i think creative people ramp up when they lean into their pretentiousness. creativity is supposed to let you be someone you're not (but aspire to). admit that beauty moves you, that footnotes excite you, that you think art matters. "I do have taste and i'm not ashamed of it."
people who have been using the em dash long before ai know that it’s the jazz riff of punctuation, the tightrope between intuition and impulse, the trapdoor for digressions—it’s the writing fidget spinner for centrifugal thinkers
The thing with chasing big, crazy, unbelievable goals is that even when you fail, and failure is common, you can still sit and marvel at your goal and your audacity to go for it. In such cases, failure raises self-esteem and creates an even more bold version of you.
God I absolutely love writing.
It is the only thing (apart from travelling) that makes me feel fully alive and cognisant of the human experience.
When i finally find a way to write something i have been trying to express, I can feel the energy flowing through my veins.
I almost cried man, I love this city!
These tiny, tender moments just last so much longer than the chaos does.
I was so stressed and overwhelmed today and this one moment just snapped me back to reality.
We just all humans living in a world filled with other humans 🥹
I was just getting off a taxi today when the driver bhaiyya pointed at a stall and said,
“Fruits khaa lijiye yaha.”
I was in a hurry and thought I misheard him, but he repeated,
“Madam, garmi hai. Fruits khaa lijiye, 2 min ruk ke.”
“You’re just salty that you couldn’t score tickets”
100% yes.
I completely understand that its not the most rational form of envy to have, but sometime you can’t help feeling awful
“ai can do that” ok so?? It was never a skill issue it’s a passion issue. You lack the whimsy that fuels joy. You get bored easily because you lack curiosity. Your soul is starved of imagination, you wouldn’t recognize the beauty of discovery even if it were right in front of you
