its like what am I changing about myself thats not authentic to fit in. You dont even realize youre doing it, its a process of unlearning through self awareness

absolutely yup

this but unironically

are u insecure about this too?
or is it not something that crosses your mind much

banger song

Maybe? I’ve always been a bit insecure about fitting into an archetype. I like having a strong sense of individuality.

the mustache doesnt help but it’s the only facial hair I can grow

i feel like the spirit matters more than the look.

This is true but the spirit does manifest itself through the look #deep

basically uggos are evil

it does they feed off eachother.

the spirit inspires the look the look encourages the spirit

That feels right. We are locked in.

one of my favourite quotes by andy warhol is beauty is intelligence.

not that like being born attractive makes u smarter than someone who isnt.

but the ability to be self aware to dictate how you look and to be able to make beautiful things requires an massively overlooked form of intelligence

We veered off into the Bad Timeline 10 years ago today

at the very least it requires an amount of caring

yeah bare minimum

And I’m saying that because I feel like his wording comes across as a little snobbish. Like, idk if intelligence is the word I’d use.

could be interpreting it badly but yeah

now if you wanted to say creativity is a type of intelligence then Id agree but what he’s saying feels a little different

i think hes just saying it in a hyperbole. its def intended to be interpreted in a negative surface way where its like, if youre not beautiful youre not smart.

but he himself was an ugly guy lol

its def fair to say people that create beautiful things in the world, whether their art is fashion and makeup and excercise, music, architecture, etc is intelligence. and thats how i always interpreted it.

its like his version of good artists copy great artists steal. where people take it literally and dont undertsand what theyre saying, but its written in a deliberate way to do that to people

also a banger

if we’re talking about creating art then yeah Id agree with him.

well he just said creating beauty. which is very vague.

but art is the expression of people. that includes what you decide to wear, how you do makeup, your hair, how you fold clothes, if you paint, make music, write, your signature etc

doing any of those beautifully is intelligence

Wonder what kinda language N*rt is gonna give me
