i hope my opinions make sense. i tend to be a little… verbose/abstract/dumb/DUMB
who you are is not what you do. you are so much more than your actions, than your expressions, than your capabilities. you are a universe and the things you produce are tiny markers of the vast depths they come from.
some people limit themselves, hearts on their arms, and buy into this shallow myth that what you do is who you are. with pomp and circumstance, they tote their badges on their chest, romp about commanding others, sling around their opinions, forget that the metaphysical perfume, that sweet fragrance, of what they produce is more beautiful than the product itself.
does this even make sense LOL
there should always, in my opinion, be the work. the beauty of it. i find work beautiful; i find things in it, myself mostly.
some people become what they do entirely without remembering they are young and that they must say “yes” to other things (because experience is paramount and yes is for young people).
be confident in yourself! know that the crowds who follow you to the throne will be the masses who clamor at the guillotine! there is a line that can never be breached between who you are and what you do, because it’s indelible… unspoken… flavoured by so many things - like why chicago is sandburg’s - people who devolve themselves singularly and prey on the popularism and demagogue tactics of loud tongues……….. aren’t doing justice to themselves……
there is beauty in moderation and restraint and words unspoken but ideas presented. when people hold their tongue, when people maintain a distinction, an unspoken integrity and frame between themselves and their art…….. it’s beautiful.

lol wtf i make no sense this isn’t even an unpopular opinion this is an incoherent opinion OTL i don’t even know what i’m saying
