“A self that goes on changing is a self that goes on living.”
— Virginia Woolf
in other news, my grandfather died yesterday. he was suffering from dementia and got physical four years ago when i last visited him. he was in and out of hospitals for a while. i was told there was some kind of tumor. they just dropped it on me nonchalantly. i feel nothing. i want to disappear and never be found.

“Today, there are too many grifters and too few craftsmen. There are content creators, pop stars, and viral stunt artists, but very few produce truly timeless pieces of work that are labors of love and intended to outlive the creator. Modern artists take shortcuts; few embrace the difficulty of skill. Few are willing to invest their time and genuine interest in something that demands discipline. Few seem to have the patience and discipline required to produce good work that matters. One can argue that technology isn’t all harmful for art, as Michelangelo likely used a chisel when carving the David; but, there is an obvious point in which the convenience of technology starts hurting the sacredness of creation and replacing the beauty in art with nothing but hollow sensation. Technology starts becoming harmful when it is no longer facilitating the intrinsic purpose of art as a tool but utilizing art as a means to an end—whether that be for clout or profit.”
