"I write to extract something intangible from inside of me, so that I can make it tangible and try to understand it" - That perfectly describes how I feel about writing. I've always thought that writing helps me detangle at least some of the mess in my brain and make some sense of it. And I also relate to your point about never letting anyone see a work-in-progress, I'm the exact same way lol.
I really love your concluding paragraph; it's so well-written. I agree that it's a comforting thought that there is always more art to be made. I enjoyed reading this!! :)
oh my goodness this is so random, but I just realized you're also Faith Zapata the singer?? This is so extremely random but there was a time when I played your cover of Party in the USA "by phoebe bridgers" at least once a week bc it was just so beautiful. It feels so weird to fall in love with your work on two different platforms and meet in the middle, but I'm glad I did!
and i'm so honored to be able to see so much of your art! I'm grateful that I can witness what you produce in both your written and sung words, so thank you for all you share 🫶🏽
oh what a beautiful string of thoughts. “you can’t be a creative person and also be fully secure and confident that the art you make is credible enough. And people who seem like exceptions to the rule actually, in reality, are.” i so needed to hear this. thank you for creating.
“To be an artist is to care way too much” - this sentence is so validating, especially for my over feeling / thinking brain. I love the idea of thinking of strong / overwhelming emotions not as an over reaction but as an impulse to create. This was my first essay of yours I read and I’m sold! Subscribed :)
