I shouldn’t treat my body like a shore for others to shipwreck onto. Somehow no one has told me this yet.

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

the fact that we need 8 hours of sleep is ridiculous we should only need 4 and the other 4 should be used to be cozy in your bed and rub your legs together like a cricket and listen to music and think about your little scenarios

“As you read a book word by word and page by page, you participate in its creation, just as a cellist playing a Bach suite participates, note by note, in the creation, the coming-to-be, the existence, of the music. And, as you read and re-read, the book of course participates in the creation of you, your thoughts and feelings, the size and temper of your soul.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin

Everybody’s on this new club drug called “Greek yogurt with berries, granola and a dab of honey.” Shit’s wild

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners. I wish someone had told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase; they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative, work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know that it’s normal and the important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you finish one piece. It’s only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take a while. It’s normal to take awhile. You just gotta fight your way through.”

fun fact: the german word for 'curious' is neugierig which literally translates to 'new-greedy'

same thing with the noun, 'curiosity'. Neugierde means 'new-greedyness'

reminiscing a quiet moment once upon a time where i could just sit at a little cafe, eat some pastries, and read a bunch 📖🥐 what’s your favorite thing to do in a cafe? :-) (at Perth, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbphYMWvRoT/?utm_medium=tumblr
