Don't you hate it when people get all intellectual and try to talk about Mozart when they've never even seen one of his paintings?

hey sorry I can't hang out tonight, I need to stay home and rapidly switch between 50 different creative products in a futile effort to escape the guilt of not working on the other 49

“The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.”

Expose yourself to art

One moment you’re young and carefree; next you’re just happy that your grocery pickup order had no stockouts or substitutions.

At some point during the Dark Years, I realized that I had lost my sense of wonder. I came to see that wonder does not abide companionably alongside outrage. My (well-deserved) outrage had cost me my sense of wonder, and I was devastated. It has gradually returned, and I realized today that what I’m experiencing here is the full-on return of wonder. I’m absolutely reveling in it every day when I see and share art and photos and good-natured humor and community. Just wow. #Mastodon

I used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost - Nan Goldin
