the shift from =living an artistic life= to =producing evidence that i was living one= is brutal ... those sound like the same thing until they really aren't

I think it’s the central issue so many artists face today, due to what social media demands in exchange for reach and distribution: relentless output and career signaling

there’s something about the way u’re thinking about this that makes me think u might feel at home around what i’m building with Silent Witness Press. i write about some of those quieter things... identity, self-deception, the lives we build, and the things we learn not to notice.

if u ever feel like having a look, subscribe for free and poke around a few of the essays. i’d genuinely like to have u in the readership, Sohmi. no pressure at all.

hahaha hiii! the complete full circle move, from PM blogging on medium to *finally* figuring out that creative process/career reflection blogging on substack is what I was missing as a DJ 😂😭 love you!

I love this! This piece resonates at the exact time that I am learning and teaching myself how to build a life around creative expression and returning to a forgotten identity of being a musician. Thank you for sharing this.
