But since the time of this book, social media has totally changed from how it used to be. I’ll hold myself back from ranting, but it’s not a great place for artists these days.
Create your own inner world
People have always said I live in my own little world. Introvert for life!
Distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has changed, and that changes everything.
You should leave home at least once.
I wrote in my notes for How to do Nothing by Jenny Odell: When we experience new things, as ideas of people and places become a palpable reality, our home no longer (at least temporarily) feels like the center of reality. That’s why it feels weird coming home after spending the night somewhere else.
Travel makes the world look new, making our brains work harder
Live and work around interesting people. They don’t necessarily have to be doing the same things as you.
It’s more interesting that way anyway. Everyone has a different story, something to teach, something to learn. You won't get that if you’re always hanging around the same people as yourself.
