Two things I’ve been thinking about recently live in this quote. . 1. Too many of us live the “lives of quiet desperation” Thoreau talked about. It seems like a horrible waste of life to me. We get one trip on this planet, and I feel like an awful lot of us waste it. I don’t think we mean to—I think we fall into the trap of believing the “conventional wisdom” that says you should put your hopes and dreams on hold in favor of Being Responsible,” and then we forget how to do anything else, and die with that song still in us. That, to me, has always seemed wasteful to the point of being criminal. . 2. I really, really need to sit down and read a bunch of James Baldwin. I’ll bet I’m far from the only one. (Now there’s someone who didn’t fall victim to the conventional wisdom...) . . . . . posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CCtOoiUAdNf/

Reposting @manirregular: “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things...” Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays . . . . . #quietdesperation #irregularman #henrydavidthoreau #writing #podcast #anchorpodcast #spotifypodcast #creativearts #skills #bepresent #beprofound #workoutyourlife #selfactualization #freedomaintfree #makeitcount #personalbranding #design #graphicart #digitalart #artistry #lovetheprocess #creative #artist #retrowave #literature #suckoutthemarrow https://www.instagram.com/p/BrPbuELj1bm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=caqrr2awmpb7
