Imagine finding someone.
Imagine finding someone where you make something and you aren’t embarrassed about it, or worried about how it will be perceived by them. The stress isn’t there.
Even, by being truest to yourself, they also align with it and love it. It’s not like you are doing something to elicit a response, like catering to them (“I’ll paint a flower, because they like flowers” vs “I’ll paint a flower because I love flowers. They love flowers.”).
It just happens to be that by pursuing what you love, they respond to it as well. It works.
You are yourself, and you just match. In presenting your truest self, they love it.
I’m not talking about an easy match, or a one-sided thing (“like all my things” or “be me”).
I am just talking about simple things. Intangible, rare and irreproducible ways.
It is so easy in certain cases, with certain people, to feel this. I am so curious about what you do! When you make something, I want to see it! I want to know why you do it and I also thing it’s such an interesting thing because it came wound in the channels of some creative brain that find so interesting. I want to know the words that you are curious about. The sensations. The desires. You noticed that, I did too! I missed that and wished, but you noticed it, and now I have it too.
And you know it isn’t enough. You can pick apart my idea and tell me where it’s wrong and needs to develop, and I might push back, but I also know there’s weight to your words. I value them.
