Come sit by the fire. It's a cold night. As long you need. In silence or in conversation as deep or as shallow you'd have. Feel the ember englow your bones for these moments. And when the urge to carry on in your journey insists upon you take your leave. Pleasure to have had you.
Casually took a picture so good the guy thought there was something wrong with it. It's funny cause doing something nice for people who don't like you glitches their brains sm that paying you a compliment in turn gives them cognitive dissonance. You just have a nice camera dude.
Did I manifest it? Or did I clearly discern and differentiate a recurring pattern that played itself out in the regular fashion that it probably was going to.
No. It doesn't hurt the way it used to and there's a peace in that. But it also means I don't feel how I used to about a lot of things and there's a grief in that too. Both are a part of the growth and the life I'm building towards. It's the journey & I don't mind being alone it.
All that I must remember is that I am an artist. And when doubt creeps in all I must do is look towards that northstar that has kept me aligned with my most earnest wishes. Told a girl I came to follow from back to the city last year when she asked what I do: I am a conjurer.

Yaz. You were just a kid learning about the world for the first time and you heard words like paraphernalia used in relation to crimes and you knew somehow instinctively that "big words" had to be a part of your lexicon if you wanted to stand a chance 😆.
Simply coming to the understanding, which wasn't simple at all, that a person or people will do anything at any cost to defend their position in the hiearchy; whatever which benefits them and maintains their continued dominance is essentially what explains most of their behaviour
There'll come a time in the near future where the AI art consumer is identified as more than just as someone with different taste but as illustrative of a wider system apparatus that we have to be aware of. The matrix looms.
A fact I learned a bit too late is to stay far away from those that treat an artist career as a hobby. You are thinking from fundamentally different structural positions where one sees success as luck and the other as concerted effort towards a goal. They'll act as an impediment
You know I woke up this morning with the thought impression from my dreams: how do I make money consistently to sustain myself? And my entire day has been about trying to figure the answer to that question. There are only so many ways to skin a cat but why skin it at all?
