presence isn’t a dramatic shift; it’s the accumulation of small refusals to drift.

In any uncertain situation, I write in an unfiltered way:

— how I already feel about the matter;

— exactly the thought that popped into mind while the cursor was blinking;

— why I suddenly paused to think during writing;

— how I would say it to a friend;

— every doubt, emotion or personal opinion;

— and so on.

we talk so much about “becoming,” but the real work is learning to recognize the moments when you’ve already become — even temporarily.

“To create something exceptional, your mindset must be relentlessly focused on the smallest detail.” -Giorgio Armani

“It's hard to build momentum if you keep dividing your attention.”

“Live a disciplined life, spontaneously” sounds like a contradiction until you realize: Discipline creates the conditions for spontaneity to thrive.

we’re always teetering towards the edge of a cliff and you can wait for a gust of wind to push you all the way, or you can jump, but either way, you’re going off.

Make art that doesn’t beg for approval.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that feeling lonely doesn’t necessarily mean that something’s wrong. It just means I have to make space for the feeling.
