Social media is an illusory mirror

I saw a quote by one of my favorite artists recently “… pain doesn’t give me anything”

Stop indulging the things you want less of

Is this ironic? Am i complaining about you complaining about social media on social media? A little bit but I guess, but then here’s where it stops

Because I happen to love social media

I only consume what i enjoy

I only create what i enjoy

I share my web-native art almost daily and it feeds ME

I create 5-7 second clips with infinite, limitless meaning, purpose, and intention

I make it what I want it to be for me

I live my life FIRST and create from embodied experience

Social media is an illusory mirror

Nothing is real yet everything is seen

Play make express

ENJOY ! don’t take it so seriously and stop consuming what drains you ?
