Musings

In order to take joy in my linear narrative, I indulge/entertain in the importance of my past and my future. But when I want to take a break and enjoy who I am, I forget whatever I’ve pretended to be.

  1. There are many attributions for this, but here’s Bob Dylan’s – โ€œAct the way you’d like to be and soon you’ll be the way you’d like to act.โ€ We are what we pretend to be. As you say, taking a vacation from that is not pretending but being. Until…

  6. The best role you can play, is yourself! The best actors and role models play themselves! If yourself is as one or a rotation of loyal personlitites! Harmony is achieved by letting all express in the most positive of ways! If you take yourself as one high mess maybe it is time to filter everyone else off and focu on one goal instead of many! ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ™ my good book just got re-prioritised!

      2. I tend to see a lot of patterns and feel out for hidden meanings, so maybe there’s some inspiration waiting for you in the hanging out, napping, and pop media.

If you have to force yourself to make things and it feels like 9-5 toil, that kind of defeats the joy of creative pursuits in my opinion…

  9. Sometimes life in the present temporarily disconnects us from reviewing the past and looking ahead to the future.
