Actually you don’t have to pick an aesthetic. I think picking an aesthetic kind of kills your creativity and individualism. No one was supposed to fit inside a mood board. Don’t turn art into a performance. Your expression is supposed to be messy, and felt, and you, not for the algorithm. Your expression is meant to be whatever you love, not altered to fit in.

The older I get, the more I come to realize my biggest fear is just living a mediocre life where I am a slave to my anxiety and self doubt. It is so paralyzing and I know it is only I, that can give myself the opportunity to experience more. Nothing matters more than the chances you can give yourself every day to try again.

Not every day has to count. Some days are for repairing, resting, mourning. You don't have to perform every day. Some days are for doing nothing. For sleeping all day or being on your phone. Relaxing is ok, allowed and encouraged. Do what you need to do.

you are shaped by what you absorb: visually, mentally, emotionally. if you constantly take in noise, negativity, and mediocrity, your perception dulls; the world starts to feel flat. but when you surround yourself with depth, beauty, and intentionality, your inner world expands. the books you read, the art you admire, the way you speak to yourself - it all becomes part of you. choose carefully, because what you consume is what you become.

social media has normalized having a singular aesthetic so much that being multifaceted has become a foreign concept to many people when in reality that is who we really are.
