Description:
There are many parts of the self. The imperative of modern society seems to be to give up the “unproductive” parts: creativity, childishness and play. Most of my law school acquaintances upon graduation gave up on making music, writing poetry, drawing and painting. These were childish pursuits. They were also fundamental expressions of their own unique individuality.
In giving up such pursuits, they were giving up on ever having their own unique voice. A voice capable of dissent and independence: the two fundamental characteristics of adulthood.
Music from Twin Musicom, ethernet-orchestra oceania.

Beautiful message! As a lifelong music educator, I have often let myself become demoralized by what others think of my chosen career path- to the point that I have doubted my own value and worth. Thank you for reminding me that exploring ones’ creativity while rejecting the mold the world expects us to fit into is the only path to self actualization and self acceptance.

I discovered your videos yesterday and they have touched me so deeply... The way you speak, your voice, visual images you use - so deep and beautiful, complete aesthetics. Thank you and, please, continue, world (and me) needs your work:)

Glad i found your channel. I'm going through a bit of a rough patch in my own life where i find it difficult to choose between what i want to do and what i should be doing. I feel like people throw around phrases like 'love yourself' and 'accept yourself' way to easily without knowing what it means or how to go about it. Thanks for sharing your experience. Loving your content.

Thank you! We all go through those kind of rough patches, they just aren't talked about too much. I hope your situation improves over time!

Brilliant. Scarily reminiscent of my pre medicine, pre psychiatry life that was much more amenable to the pursuit of art seriously. The idea of Peter Pan syndrome bc of a desire to write a novel is beyond stupid. It’s profoundly sad.
