Jakucho Setouchi, a woman who loved writing throughout her life, closed her 99-year-long book on November 9th. She was merely one of the celebrities that I would occasionally glance at on the media until she was brought up in a conversation with a friend last year when I mentioned my passion for writing. “I loved, I wrote, and I prayed,” is the phrase that Jakucho chose for her gravestone, which describes how she lived in brevity.
“Dependency murdered creativity.
Creativity plays with the unknown.
No strategies exist that can enclose the endless realm of the new.
Only trust in yourself can carry you past your fears and the already known.”Velvet Buzzsaw, 2019
“I heard this story about a fish, he swims up to an older fish and says: ‘I’m trying to find this thing they call the ocean.’ ‘The ocean?’ the older fish says, ‘that’s what you’re in right now.’ ‘This’, says the young fish, ‘this is water. What I want is the ocean!”
From Disney-Pixar “Soul”
If you easily tend to feel anxious, overstimulated, overwhelmed, and thus exhausted, if you pick up moods or emotions of those around you somehow, if you are keen at finding patterns from your environment and putting things together to see what is coming next, if you need to retrieve yourself to be alone to recharge your energies, we have a lot in common.
