a list of things I am bad at
Salsa dancing
Disco
Ballet
Jazz
Just any kind of dancing really
Ceramics (I was asked to not take the next semesters class by my professor hahaha)
Weaving
felting
knitting
quilting
just kind of colour theory in 3d space
taking a nice photo
writing an essay free of spelling mistakes
writing a poem free of spelling mistakes
drawing a photo realistic tree
ice skating
roller skating
driving
running
skateboarding
singing just like Whitney Houston
strumming with rhythm
having perfect pitch
playing piano without tripping over the keys
And I enjoy each and every one of those things with wild abandon and passion each and every time I do them. Being bad, being a beginner, trying for any reason, is the most magical thing I or we could ever do.
We gotta goof off.
We gotta make mistakes.
We gotta fuck around and never find out.
We gotta create musical fusion.
We gotta be so bad with no hope or desire or speck of ever getting good.
We gotta make our bad art.

🍊What if we shed the feeling of “not enoughness” and created a self compassionate creative practise? One that HONOURED your ideas + brain space 🍊
ART IS THE MOST RADICAL PURE THING AND IS LITERALLY LIFE CHANGING WORLD SAVING MAGIC. It is the most self compassionate beautiful thing anyone could ever do – is create. Because you and your art are already enough. 🪄🪄🪄

Listening to my body really deeply and listening to what it asks and giving it exactly that. Working from the couch. Laying down during Pilates class. Reading in cafes.
If you are living in Ontario and scared and mad about what Doug Ford is doing to our healthcare (and green belt and teachers and and and) I have this petition for you to sign.
Many blessings for our bad art being the antidote to the very thing for the things that try to keep us from ever making it to begin with
Happy Lunar new year to my friends and family that celebrate 🧧🐰
I love you all
