As a person who leans in to independence and does not seek out companionship (I like when I find others organically but it’s not something I’m seeking ) and knows that I’ll die alone (as we all will but some think otherwise) I like art from others like me. Will share specific artists tho in another rec but ppl like Marc Maron and Anthony Bourdain make me feel seen .

when I am alone, I connect with other human beings trough their art. including illustrations, tv series, films, podcasts, youtube videos, books, etc.
this makes me feel as if I chill with somebody, i guess, but also, that I am a part of a community. bunch of small communities, actually.
The great thing about being alone looking and listening at all this content, is that nobody else knows wich creators you are chilling with. I love to keep a secret garden.

i feel like it’s this constant debate but the thing is? there’s millions of artists/musicians/etc out there, so i find when you want to hold on so tightly to someone, you’re closing yourself off from other artists that could be similar or way cooler but not a terrible person
obviously there’s a distinction between a faux pas, mistakes before growth, or being deeply consistently horrible, but i absolutely think that’s a distinction worth making…
we only have so much time on this earth, and our time to consume art and music and film and literature is fleeting, so i’d rather spend it on the works of people who have earnestly made the world a more beautiful place and exploring art to find those !

My father is a wood, stone, reclaimed materials, and xeriscape artist and resents that he‘s subjected to the gaze of an audience if anything. I know with absolute certainty that he would feel compelled to create beautiful things even if he were the last man on earth, even if there were nothing left to build with. it’s the way he interfaces with the world! I think that’s very common among the most humble working artists who really do it for their craft and it’s why they’re able to be so prolific. Many of these artists don’t become known until after their deaths, if ever.

Thinking someone is beautiful, or you love that they are reading a book, or the way they are enjoying their sandwich is enviable. The more I do it, the more positive I feel about humanity , and it feels good.
