Status Anxiety

1 min read
Belittling others is no pasttime for those convinced of their own standing. There is terror behind haughtiness, It takes a punishing impression of our own inferiority to leave others feeling that they aren't good enough for us. -Alain De Botton; Status Anxiety.

My apologies that a my whole gallery has been cleaned out until such a time as certain crises are solved. Believe me, I do not like doing this, but things have spun out of my control, and the feelings of someone dear to me has been greatly affected by my need to defy social convention and care-less for what is acceptable as art.

Apparently, I don't give a damn about what anyone else thinks about me.

Not entirely true; it's just that I don't care for the opinions of people who criticize me. But the opinions of the people that think I'm cool? Of course I give a damn.

And that's always a misconception isn't it. Because people do care when they are being extolled.

What Matters?

1 min read
Why should someone else's thoughts matter to me?

I wished there were some way I could just blank out my mind and look at things as they were.

As if they were linked to no memories, with no pasts, no images that linger in my mind. You can do it for awhile, but you can't sustain it. Maybe 3 minutes, and then you start thinking about how horrid life is. What a real drag it can be, with all its funny little shits, dumping so many things upon your shoulders.

Why must we wear clothes.
I feel the weight of my blouse.

It's a simple little inconvenience that makes you realize how everything's just out there to dump things onto you. Dump clothes on our backs and food into our stomachs and unwanted memories into our minds.

To quote her, on her critics when she played Cleopatra in Shakespere's Antony and Cleopatra.

If one attempts to play the part mainly on the level of Cleopatra's attractiveness, "then you are hiding on to nothing. You always suffer anyway from measuring up to what is considered attractive and desirable in a woman."
