I can't believe art is real
Do trees cry? Yes, this is art.
Hi friend, what does your art feel like right now?
I cannot believe art ever gets made. The state of the world/being has felt heavy to me because that is the fluctuation I live in in both my emotions but also the worlds cycle as well. Life is suffering. This world is hard and there is absolutely everything, every system to tell you not to and feel and create. I don't have time. It feels to hard. There isn't enough. Are all lies we are told to not create. And I would say most of the time those lies get me down and I don't create and instead watch tv. Which is a fine way to be because I am trying to survive this world and anything after surviving feels like a 11/10 win. Which is also why i LITERALLY CANNOT BELVIE ART EVER GETS MADE. EVER! The hoops creators go through to get their thing into someones hands, eyeballs, mind and soul is actually incredible. ART IS A MIRACLE.
Art is everywhere for us to enjoy and we just can. Art moves me so deeply that I cry at the chalk poems written on the sidewalk and the first note of the Lion King even thought I have heard it approx 2092 times in my life. I can go from the deepest darkest well of dread and art pulls me up to show me that there are other things aside from misery. Or that even misery is beautiful and moving. I love artists. I love art.
Everything is awful.
Everything is art.
Everything is a fucking miracle.
Art is a miracle.
You are a miracle.
Art that I cannot believe is real in the world and that moves me through the galaxies of emotions of deep dark dread to miraculousness of being alive
The first Lion King Broadway Rehearsal back. Obviously I cried.
The chalk poem written on the sidewalk on my dog walks
The sunset over the 407 and the fields either side of my drive home.
Improvised dance moments in the kitchen
Reminders to 1. Make your art 2. Everything is awful, are back in stock
I am proud of you for making your art, your anything!
big love
