when i was a kid i always fantasized about grabbing romeo on the shoulders and asking him do you mean it? do you really feel it? is it sincere? is it? are you an act? are you feeling?

Apparently I've unfollowed you? I followed back now but just know it wasn't intentional or anything my finger probably slipped while scrolling or something. :")

i always believed after an artist publishes something, they become both the consumer and creator of it. they should aim to create what they would like to see but after publishing it's up for others to decide it's value which varies with each person's view. as said, keep the channel open, try your best and leave the rest to people who'll interact with your piece.

“One of the most solid pieces of writing advice I know is in fact intended for dancers – you can find it in the choreographer Martha Graham’s biography. But it relaxes me in front of my laptop the same way I imagine it might induce a young dancer to breathe deeply and wiggle their fingers and toes. Graham writes: ‘There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.’”

when furudate wrote “today you happen to be the defeated. but what will you become tomorrow?” and then “nothing would ever get started if they didn't first think, 'let’s give it a try.'” and then “he who climbs the ladder must begin at the bottom” and then “we’re not limited to just one way of being great” and then “being weak means that there is room to grow” and then “does losing prove that you are weak? isn’t losing difficult for all of you? a challenge where, after ending up on your hands and knees, you must see if you can stand up again? if you stay on your hands and knees, that proves that you are weak.”
