art:life

I learned through Contact Improvisation that art is making choices. It's continuously asking yourself if this is what you want, do you like it, who is it for, what does it mean, does it mean anything, again and again, "Do I like this?". Even going to a counselor at some point in my life, they focused on "asking for what you need".

It may be just me, but I see parallels, and I wrote about this many times in Contact Improv. Everyday life is art. What you do and how you live is an active choice. You have to know what you want, even if that means "I want a journey that involves me NOT making choices".

It seems that I am always relearning to ask for or pursue what I need or want. I could be crabby at someone cause they're annoying the shit at me, or I could realize that what I actually want is a solid meaningful conversation and try to begin that with them. I'm not sure that this makes sense to anyone else, but it sure as hell is helping me out :)

i might be selling my dad's camera he gave me earlier this year :(
I think it's to go towards his new fancy camera he's getting for fathers day.
we'll see.
I'll be sure to ask for what I need :)
