You have a right to make a living doing what you love, even if you’re not a master. Don’t let people gatekeep your success and happiness. People can be bitter. Not everyone who practices your craft will approve or give you permission. You gotta give that to yourself.

Don’t support corporations like Starbucks. Support your local mime boy instead. He will save you from the Rapture and keep your soul safe under his circus tent while the sky rains ash.

The morning after a performance is the sweetest feeling. A little sleepy, adrenaline hangover, relief, excitement for the next endeavor, and a slow burning confidence. Somebody should put this into a pill or something.

I have an incinerator in my home expressly for this purpose. Not a second to waste. As soon as that last page is finished—into the maw of Satan’s throat it goes. I toss it, lest it rot in my hands! What a vile, loathsome habit … keeping books one has read. Foul.

Without people challenging norms, art would not evolve. We would merely perfect and refine the already refined and perfected. This becomes a grotesque process, leaving both the audience and artist ultimately feeling hollow.

youtube.com/watch?v=ZbB333… Becoming a circus artist ... what is that like? Starting yesterday, I'm documenting my journey of training like a #circus professional on YT. The first video is up! Today I talk about why I believe circus is still underground, after all these centuries.

Made nearly (perhaps more than?) $100 in less than two hours busking with a musician. I was juggling on a 6 foot unicycle. They didn’t want to split tips but offered me $10 at the end. LOLOL

Being judged for being polyamorous is funny. You’re going to tell me your statistical coin flip relationship are free of problems? Y’all communicate perfectly and never have issues? Because the nuclear family has always been perfect, riiiiiiight.

People will glorify the aesthetic of ‘a thing’ but will want precious little to do with all its gory details, with the true reality of whatever that aesthetic is supposedly represents.

Nobody informed me that running away with the circus would be this exhausting. I think my body is finally getting acclimated to it, however. It just requires a few extra thousand calories here and there.
