“The classroom is a wonderful, if artificial, place: Your professor gets paid to pay attention to your ideas, and your classmates are paying to pay attention to your ideas. Never again in your life will you have such a captive audience. Soon after, you learn that most of the world doesn’t necessarily care about what you think. It sounds harsh, but it’s true. As the writer Steven Pressfield says, ‘It’s not that people are mean or cruel, they’re just busy.’ This is actually a good thing, because you want attention only after you’re doing really good work. There’s no pressure when you’re unknown. You can do what you want. Experiment. Do things just for the fun of it. When you’re unknown, there’s nothing to distract you from getting better. No public image to manage. No huge paycheck on the line. No stockholders. No e-mails from your agent. No hangers-on. You’ll never get that freedom back again once people start paying you attention, and especially not once they start paying you money. Enjoy your obscurity while it lasts.” - @austinkleon

Almost two years ago to the day in Amsterdam with @isaac_lambert (I had strep throat and was wistfully gazing at the canal, dreaming of antibiotics✌️).

Love. Peace. & Coffee. Miss wandering around town taking photos ❤️

Cheers to @isaac_lambert and @mainelykatey’s new house 🥂

Happy birthday @mainelykatey! Can’t wait to officially call you my sister 👯‍♀️
