Edvard Munch, “Towards the Forest II”

[marooneddghtr-deactivated201901]

Build up your self esteem to the level that might seem unwarranted. This will help you ignore both positive and negative responses to your paintings. Both are usually misguided, since they come from the outside. Be your most severe and devastating critic, while never doubting that you are the best thing since sliced bread. The moment something works well and is under control - is the time to give it up and try something else. Put all your eggs in one basket. Precarious situations produce intense results. Forget subjective, it is mostly trivial. Go for the universal.

the grass is and always will be greener on the otherside. then theres me drowning in this little pool of misery except to me it feels like an ocean and i, i’d just like to be swallowed because im so deluded my kindness makes you angry and my silence makes me angry, but still, still you do not say anything.
