Being married to a rare disease scientist ( focusing on one’s that affect children specifically ) I used to think what we did as artists wasn’t really important nor did it really matter in the grand scheme of things . And there is some truth to it ( to some degree ) 🧵
@k04sk There’s that quote from Dead Poet’s Society that really stuck with me regarding this.
“medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”
