someday i'm going to disappear into the mountains and the only trace of me will be mentions of some girl singing folk ballads in the wilderness on creepy reddit threads

All I can think abt is that one quote that basically just describes that you can’t be your true self in your native language bc there’s too much emotional attachment, but that second languages allow speakers to be truly free with their words

I wrote a song about the time I cracked my head open when I was three years old

I wanted every day to be like this, to begin in shame and fear and end in glorious reassurance.

Hi Kait. As someone interested in switching their program to art history, I'm curious to know what you took away from your studies in the subject. How did it shape who you are now and how you see the world, and the work you do? Thank you kindly xx

Art history changed how I see and interact with everything, just like studying fine art did. I wanted to pursue it further by doing research and writing; specifically revising the dialogue surrounding modern art and the countless women artists and artists of color who were left out of it. I never got to do that, but perhaps maybe that’s what you’ll do? 

I can’t tell you that it will lead to anything concrete or tangible, and it most definitely won’t lead to money. But that part of my education shaped and informed the way I experience the world; the way I read books and watch films and write. If you care enough about it, you should do it. The only thing I can promise you is that you will love your education – you will love the lectures, the term papers, even the studying for exams. Sometimes the things that are most worth doing feel like a huge leap of faith. 

Best of luck to you. x
