An intelligent and engaging conversationalist.
Queer, Creative, and believe you’re worth knowing.
Leave a comment, reblog, or DM telling me why we should become acquainted.
everybody's a creative
Anyone can be creative and come up with ideas
But real creatives come up with ideas and own the ideas
Execute and own the execution
Take feedback without taking it personally and then make changes to fit the bill
This takes training and hardwork
This takes dedication and persistence
Go ahead and call yourself a creative but don't forget to do all these things
I just finished watching a video on focus/reading and was wondering about the attention economy and how people are genuinely struggling- then I opened tumblr and then I frowned at how legit I see no one discuss that here for the most part.
And then I realized because this hellsite is a text-driven, minimally algorithmised, filled with a userbase of creatives and holding strongly onto the 'romantic era' culture.
All other platforms being plagued with ai art and posts, but be shunned to death if you try that shit on tumblr. Credit the artist or begone from this place, fool.
Its like the entire place agrees unanimously on some basic ideals and will die before letting go of them.
I love it.
A poem to a past version of myself -
I’ve always loved the thunder and rain; much more than the civilized sun.
Maybe because I had a gift for seeing the beauty in where others saw somber.
Perhaps this is why I find the best traits in a person filled with flaws.
The potential spark of light in a body of darkness.
Sure, the sun is loved and known for it’s bright beams;
But lightning cracking in overcast has the same quality.
Does she not deserve to be admired?
When that violet voltage strikes, scurry quickly for you might miss the swift illumination amongst the shadowy sky.
Look! There is some semblance of light!
I try to convince…
If I could reach out and touch that beautiful disaster I would.
Perhaps this is why I’ve repeatedly let charming hazards in to fill me violently.
. . .
I’ve always seen myself in the rain.
In the thunder.
In the lightning.
When I see another filled with rain, filled with thunder— I can’t help but want to create a storm.
Yet what the naïve girl in me failed to see;
I wanted to use the rain to feed the flowers,
You wanted to cause a flood.
Current read.
As much as I'm moving into a very different industry since graduation, I always find myself reading books on how to be a better creative. Turns out that advice for creatives is just general good advice for any industry.
I love that this takes a realistic approach to answering the big questions that we have post-graduation. It's funny and it's very clear. Easy read. 5/5.
