if you'd asked me a week ago what would be happening this week.. full blown trade war with our two closest allies, biggest trade partners and only immediate neighbors literally would not have even been one of my guesses

america is a dilapidated strip mall w/ 1/2 the shops boarded up. across the street is a brand new one, all the windows full of white construction paper reading “FOR LEASE” in bold red lettering (but they are cost prohibitive)

need a word for when you’re not sure if you came up with something or heard it somewhere

[erflin @erflin]

a word for when you can’t tell if a memory is yours or something you saw in a movie

does anyone have thoughts to share on the connection between the creative impulse and the ego?

[erflin @erflin]

i find personally that while the desire to create and the act of creation can be extremely pure.. it can all easily get muddled by a desire for praise/recognition

[erflin @erflin]

wanting to be appreciated is natural but.. creating to feed the ego seems.. sacrilegious almost
