18, she/hera place for me to (a) stack up my thoughts like jenga bricks and (b) hoard pieces of other people’s souls because they look an awful lot like mine

does anyone else ever feel like they’re trying to pry themselves open and coax the human out? it’s old news that there’s a rusty layer of social anxiety over everything i do, but recently i’ve been thinking a lot about what’s underneath. the honey-marrowed girl. i’m going to try and let her go free.
i want to stop rushing to nod my head and be agreeable at all costs. i want to stop saying things i don’t mean for the sake of short-term social comfort, because it means my soul goes stale. i don’t want to feel like an attic any longer. i saw a thing on the internet the other day - “stop trying to kill the part of you that’s cringe. instead kill the part of you that cringes!” - and my god if that’s not the key to it all.
for a long time i thought i didn’t have a self or a personality, that i’d lost it somewhere along the way, or that the only unique things about me were bad ones. but i do have ideas. i have a laugh that makes a lovely sound and is my own. and i believe that’s enough. it’s a ✨⭐️ start 🌟💫 at least, and i am very excited.

#my FAVOURITE thing when it comes to oil paintings is when the painter somehow makes a light source seem like a light source#if that makes sense#how do they make the sun glow#how do they do that#art by others

the obsession with aesthetic-izing everything is a disease that companies have sold us via influencers. it's all about turning your private space into a perfect backdrop for videos and photos, everything has to be a soundstage to market a product. making you view your own private space like a voyeur, already imagining the comments people might leave if your home isn't what they deem ideal. your fridge does not need to be aesthetically pleasing, you don't need to empty out spices from plastic packaging into a glass jar of the exact same size of the original packaging. not everything has to be pinterest goals. there is so little time, just live life.

“august, immerse me in hope and drown my doubts, turn the volume up on self love and silence my insecurities. speak clearly to my intentions even when the language in my life changes. allow me to step away from fear so i can step fully into my power. may i find peace in who i am.”

I love how different forms of art are all obsessed with each other. A book tries to capture the feeling of music, a painting tries to depict a scene in a book, a song tries to paint a picture. And it's always insufficient. No single form of art can encapsulate another form of art and capture the essence of it – but it tries, and its attempts are impossibly compelling. All the forms of art are in love with each other and spend so much time trying to express what makes the other kinds of art so lovely.
