The Rhythm of Your Journey
Rick kids being able to do art for a living may be a reflection of their privilege but it seems to me like a reflection of the fact that a human who doesn’t have to worry about money will often choose art. Everyone is an artist until the rent is due. I wish we all had that right.

Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.
— Graham Greene

“The only way you can write the truth is to assume that what you set down will never be read. Not by any other person, and not even by yourself at some later date. Otherwise you begin excusing yourself. You must see the writing as emerging like a long scroll of ink from the index finger of your right hand; you must see your left hand erasing it.”
― Margaret Atwood

Boundaries are healing for EVERYONE.
They do not cause separation, but rather create the safety to swim in deeper waters together….
People are actually safer with you in your power, than in your self-diminishment….
