No Rain, No Clouds, No Pain, No Shrouds

i always believed after an artist publishes something, they become both the consumer and creator of it. they should aim to create what they would like to see but after publishing it's up for others to decide it's value which varies with each person's view. as said, keep the channel open, try your best and leave the rest to people who'll interact with your piece.

“One of the most solid pieces of writing advice I know is in fact intended for dancers – you can find it in the choreographer Martha Graham’s biography. But it relaxes me in front of my laptop the same way I imagine it might induce a young dancer to breathe deeply and wiggle their fingers and toes. Graham writes: ‘There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.’”

I think it's cute how so many art movements are simply called "new art" to differentiate "not like the old stuff". Contemporary dance. New wave fashion. Pop (literally popular) music. Art Nouveau. Modernism. Postmodernism. Even terms starting with neo- (neo-classicism, neo-expressionism) all are just saying NEW ART. And yet all of these things are now distinctive styles of the past. It's kind of beautiful how humanity never stops outgrowing itself. Art is a state of matter that refuses to sit still, old as soon as it is new, original upon its thousandth performance, new forever so long as there is someone who has not yet seen it, and old the second the artist picks up their instrument again.

me? nothing. just browsing through an old and quite dead fandom, lookin posts that sent in 2015 and making myself sad out of nowhere.

i repeat to myself as i sit on my desk; the gap between 0 and 1 is wider than 1 and 10, it's better to have something with flaws rather than nothing, i repeat and repeat and repeat. the gap between 0 and 1 is wider than 1 and 10. holding not perfect something is better than empty hands. it is. keep creating. the gap between 0 and 1
