One of the skills I’ve had to learn as an artist is my ability to trust my instincts. My socialized mind wants to know: is what I am making any good? Who will like this? Is this worth my time and energy? These are all values of the modern productive world, but inside I am guided by something simple: I wonder what happens if I do this instead of that?
My task is to bypass my rational socialized mind so I can play. In a world where productivity seems to matter most, making something out of curiosity has become a radical act.

I always felt that this made me a bad person, someone who couldn't relate to others, but as I understand how we attached to our parents as children, I start to judge myself less and want to find ways to heal something that was shaped at birth.
