Powerful and empowering post about the purpose of art in our lives. What's interesting about this post is how well it resonated with my experience. I started this blog as an outlet for a particularly challenging time in my life and it was incredibly therapeutic and now I look forward to the act of writing each day and publishing weekly.

Nice: that’s just what I needed right now. - A reminder to do something purely for the sake of enjoying doing it. I’m flexing my middle finger already!

“I guess I shouldn’t badmouth the world. It’s the only world we’ve got. I don’t even mean it, swearing about the world. I just get frustrated. It’s like when you shout at someone you love and then apologize, telling them that you lost control there for a moment because IT’S JUST A LOT RIGHT NOW and you needed to vent.”

You know what helps? Stop watching the news. Media feeds on polarization, division and rage.
