I appreciate this so much. You put into words so many thoughts and feelings I resonate with. The connection to mystery, unknown, resisting commodification and reduction to aesthetic. "to sit with mystery and unknowing becomes its own container of resistance" love this so much. thank you. i needed this today

This piece tells so many NECESSARY truths and realities. In it, you have verbalized what I've felt–the struggles between creating and thriving, and wanting my creativity to be enough on which to thrive without commodifying it or turning myself into some kind of machine. Ah! So so so much beauty here! Thank you!

A lot of this resonated with me. I'm a third year music student and all I want to do at the moment is make music for the love of making music, and it's not that I'm not passionate about my final project but I find myself worrying about whether I can meet my deadlines rather than being excited for the process of making stuff and learning about stuff, which are two of my favourite things ever. Wtf.
