I recently restarted posting on Instagram.

Before, I quit because I was chasing likes—going to events, buying new merch, just to have something to post.

This time, I want to use it more like a diary, the way I do here on Tumblr.

I won’t be posting that often, but thanks to Instagram, I actually learned to enjoy taking photos.

Still, I have to be careful… if I use it the wrong way, it’s so easy to get trapped in endless comparison and material desire.

a note about why i am on instagram (and why the algorithm doesn’t really bring me down): ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ i believe that life lived well is art, and i like to tell - and to discover - stories about people making art out of their real lives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ to say it simply: observing, photographing, and living this life-art heals a wound in my heart about not being able to live, and answers a deep question for me about the reasons anybody needs beauty. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ for me, instagram is almost a devotional, this daily collection of beauty that reminds me what it means to be in the world, even (and perhaps especially) on days when i am so much in the world that i don’t have time to make art. beauty might not be salvation, but it’s a tether to the holy, to the things that take my breath away and remind me that my life isn’t really limited, that *here* is not all there is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ instagram is like a picture book that takes me places, offers me concrete ideas for doing beautiful things with my life, and lets me try being a part of it all. we dabble in hope and dreams here, and sometimes perfect and sometimes perfectly imperfect, but whatever we do here, it’s a privilege to contribute to this collection of images and words and hopes and dreams and wins and losses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ i don’t need the algorithm to work for me; i’m not trying to sell anything. instagram is a way for me to be in the world with my art and my life, with other people who are in it too. i hope i can return as much beauty as i have found here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bykellēsauer 📷 for @clairepettibone w/@pagebeauty #storyofbeing #neversettle #livemoremagic #instagramthoughts #bridalfashion #thartistsway #artistlife #artforlife #reallifefineart https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Qcpx2jcV7/?igshid=kjiztpk3ch1j
