why

when did I become so afraid

realizations

I'd rather people think I'm a bitch and be scared of me than come off as afraid as I am, but I think I don't want to be either anymore.

Speak Up interview with Stefan Sagmeister

RJH In the design profession, there is a sense of designers grasping for meaning, grasping for a sort of greater purpose, which you’ve talked about in your work in the post. Is there an obligation for a person and is there an obligation for a designer to participate in the world in this way?

SS Well, I’d say the obligation is there from the designer as a person. I don’t think that designers in general are more obligated to perform do-gooding than somebody who works at McDonald’s or the mayor of a city. It think it is as people that there is an obligation for us to live a full life. And I think from my point of view, living a full life includes doing no harm on one side and being aware of the world that you live in on various levels. On your immediate level, family and friends, on your society level, and on a humanity level. Humanity level being ecology and human rights and things like that.
I do think that if you want to live a full life, you somehow have to be aware of all of these levels. And for yourself of course, on an egotistical level. That is exactly the same for absolutely everybody.

wet sleeves
like it's some time ( what time ? ) in that heavy darkness
you think you should be warm but you're so cold
spilled drinks, chapstick smear
buttons a little looser
heart is a little tighter
stumble in, precariously keep your balance
muffled silence
muffled loudness
ringing
what fun what fun
smile with both sides
smile for the camera
hold on to that drink tight
hold on to that space tighter
twin size bed
wet sleeves
