Artist @lela_rohrer_stech makes beautiful things, and talks to me this week on the podcast. I love this quote—not only is it true and wise, it reminds me of how powerful it can be to channel that little kid we once were while we’re creating. That doesn’t mean we only fingerpaint or scribble, or write “See Spot run”—it means we let go of all the things that make adulting so complicated and just let the good stuff inside us flow free. ⠀ .⠀ That “good stuff” doesn’t always seem good, by “adult” standards, but if it’s our truth, and we’re expressing it, then it has value. It’s real, not a facade. In this age of Instagrammable beauty, rebellion looks like showing all of who we are, not just the perfect, pretty stuff (which I’d argue is an illusion anyway). It’s also courageous as hell. When we were kids, it was a lot easier. Need help getting past those voices of perfection and illusion in your head?
