Just wanted to throw this onto my blog because it sums up some sort of feelings I've been having atm about what I want my work to be presenting. I love Savannah's spoken word poetry and this poem is basically about getting away from the idea that caring too much isn't 'cool' and that you can care too much in the first place. my work is all about caring, hedonism, appetite for life and experiences and everything she talks about in this poem. she says the 'cool kids' were always apathetic and pessimistic, whereas now they've vivacious and enthusiastic and invested and I think that's really true.
all the people I look up to and think are successful and are loved and praised and wildly passionate and vulnerable. I try and be this way as much as possible and I still find it hard, but it's something I want in my life and my work. she says if everyone knows what you care the most about it's very easy to hurt you, and I think that's probably why it's so scary. idk this just made me think about all the stuff I really want to do but I'm too scared to because it would make me vulnerable. I don't know how you get past that really.
