That in which created life and existence created and creates through you. The sun makes stuff all day, not seeing it does not mean it is not there. Shine, glisten, and go get it. Life is delicious – br(eat)the, cr(ate), rep(eat) 🧬 😋

I’m not kidding but a few hours before I came across this video I wrote in my notes: is visibility equal to worth? I was reflecting on why we as humans crave to be seen and recognized for our virtues, one of which can be our art. I’ve also asked myself: would I still create if I knew no one would see it or that my work wouldn’t become viral? My answer is yes, because creating art is not to please others but to fill a necessity that is constantly (eternally) throbbing alive inside one’s being and soul.

Concordo. Sou um compositor que ama música mas minhas músicas são feitas para eu mesmo ouvir e isso me satisfaz totalmente. Criar , até mesmo na cozinha fazendo minhas refeições, é algo bastante satisfatório.. Produzir., esse é nosso objetivo

Yeah there’s a definite divide that’s growing wider, and more and more people are falling below the line. Most people don’t have time for this vanity obsession culture.
