The list of all the things I’m failing at
I love making lists. They give me a sense of control over this (oftentimes crazy) life.So they’re supposed to make my existence a bit easier. But there’s one list that has made my life… to say it politely… so much harder. I just wasn’t aware of it.
100.000.000 porselain sunflower seeds
Somehow the idea of one hundred million porselain sunflower seeds touches my heart deeply. And the more I read about this work of art that Ai Weiwei created years ago, the more obsessed I get.
I’m one of those highly sensitive ones.
They say a lot of creative people are. That it is helpful, because we see the world slightly different, and that different view makes our art relatable, refreshing. I agree.
My high sensitivity makes me see, feel, hear, smell a lot. And I mean: A LOT. As in: too much, actually. Nearly every day it leads me to be overwhelmed.
