🎨 Artist is my word of the year

Principles

Expression (40%): Aim for volume and variety. Turn off the part of my brain that worries about consequences (financial or otherwise.)
Exposure (40%): Get out there in real life and online. Be everywhere all at once.
Exile (20%): Designate time for retreat inward. Don’t burn out.

Patterns

Be Extraordinary: Completely deviate from the ordinary path.
Be Existential: Build things that address spiritual needs.
Be Exemplary: Let my life and routine be a piece of art. Live in a way that models skillful behavior.

Projects

New medium of expression through video
Develop cohesive esthetics for work across the board

Last updated 12 March 2022. I was a lonely, isolated misfit of a nerd growing up, and I taught myself how to make friends. I got pretty good at it. Over the years, some of the warmest, smartest and kindest people I've ever met have confided in me that they feel lonely and disconnected.
