Mon, August 8th.
First heard this song with my soul a couple weeks ago while watching over someones house. Hanging out in this giant valley, perched above the town and nothing around but pine trees and sky. The way this valley looked was akin to a series of waves all cresting at their peak. It was amazing and I was naked the entire time. Nothing beats being surrounded in nature completely naked.
The roommates moved out completely. Now it's just the brother and I. We spent a lot of the evening yesterday moving furniture and cleaning our living room. We ended up bringing down his TV and couch, set it up and played Minecraft for 3 hours. He'd never played before so it was exciting.
Kaba work is Kaba work. I found myself a bit sad yesterday by an opportunity I've been working towards. There's this Christies agent I've been trying to speak with and he ghosted me. The dude is a totally kind guy, I can tell because he works with young artists and gives them chances. I was hoping I could woo him and ask a ton of questions about stuff but... Maybe he'll respond, if he doesn't that's okay because I only met him a couple weeks ago and my goals haven't changed despite the hiccup.
This book I'm reading Real Artists Don't Starve talks about the importance of running with your tribe and to be honest, I don't have a tribe. I'm a lone coyote trying to paint and question life all by myself. I'll find some people, not hung up on this reality, just hoping it happens sooner than later.
Artists out there, please don't stop creating. It might get tough sometimes questioning why you're doing it but that's not the reason you create. You create because it's in you and it makes you feel good. I love creating stuff, but trust me it gets tiring sometimes. Nothing wrong with a little self examination.
Hope you're all doing good!
