1) thank you for permission to not make my bed. I mean, I haven’t been making my bed, but I HAVE been making myself feel bad for not making my bed.
2) “That I spend so much of my creative practice doing things that will never be seen by another person is the point.” -- I have been turning this over and over in therapy lately. The inherent value in creating vs. the perceived value/worth assigned by other people when the product of creativity is offered up to capitalism. Aka I still have not taken any embroidery to that shop that wanted to sell my stuff because I’ve convinced myself it isn’t *worth* anything. So thank you for that reminder.
With you in rejecting the cosmic chore chart! (Also proud of you for bringing it this week and even more proud of you for making it in the first place. Your art is beautiful and I am so glad you're bringing it into the world in whatever ways you choose to share or not share it!)
"constantly waterboarding myself with other people’s opinions" My head just exploded.
