book (Alice's version)
the idea of what “public space” looks like on the internet... Not as in anyone can see , but as in a place that can be crowded or empty. A place where you can run into people you know or interact with others who are there at the same time.

“A post for the creatives who just need to hide away. It is safe to hide away for a while darling. Momentum won’t leave. You will make momentum. You won’t lose opportunities, you will make them.

Be brave enough to sneak away and leave us all desperate for more.” - Amie ( @inspiredtowrite ) post via @filmmkrs

I’m curious about the way it’s impacting our inner monologues. The constant self-analysis, the picking-apart, the internal work . In collusion with capitalism and social media and the digital panopticon, seeing ourselves through a therapized lens means regarding the self as the ultimate project. It’s easy to forget there are other ways to live.
