People & Process

The past week of learnings…

“I kill my shy. I walk into a room and I immediately kill my shy. I don't care if people laugh at me. You know how hard it is to learn a language? - On learning french for the past two years.” - Learning a new language (JN, My Loving Partner)

“I like to think that we are not compatible. They don't need to change. I don't need to change. We are just incompatible. - On ending friendships or any relationship”. - (KH, Big Sister and high key my inspiration)

“I'm just worried about my happiness. I want to do things because I'm happy.” - On the pursuit of an artistic life that isn't quantified by outdated versions of success. (TC, Soul Sister)

“They hired me to do a job. I got off book. I made the choices. There is only so much work I can do on my own. - On owning your artistic worth, process, and confidence. (TC, Soul Sister)

“I had a tendency to always go around the thing I wanted. I always was doing the hard thing. Do what comes easy to you. Start there.” - On writing because it comes natural to me. (KH)

“Why are people so eager for children to learn and adults to know it all? I sat in the room and watched people of all ages and various countries trying to learn french. Everyone applauded at the little boys attempt. Not one person clapped for another adult.” - On the learning gap as an adult (MS, human up at 3am)
