find absolute joy in creation even if the subject is unbearable. find relics of yourself in dried paint and blinking cursors. leave behind blood in the snow that’ll be covered by next winter. but at least something poured from the wound. and the white turned red for a season.
most of the things we make are not grails nor museum bound. and are mostly undeserving of a passing glance.
but if those brush strokes and words can help someone for a moment. they’re important anyway. so long as the creation is formed from love and not empty commoditization.
