i think the only way the idea being a public artist/figure/person isn't paralyzingly terrifying to me is if i imagine being as uncompromisingly true to my own tastes as possible. i know you know this but yeah. and thank you for hammering on the "do shorter projects...like way shorter" advice for so long, i think it's almost sunk in enough that i'm ready to try it. and don't forget that you're quite smart in addition to being stupid
holy smokes, you are very friendly
