I'm Sure You've Noticed
I’m sure you’ve noticed…
(especially if you’ve followed the Mandyland ride over the past two decades)
That I’ve never really cared about how others online perceive me, or what I post, or what I make, or how I think, or what I do
That I’ve never factored in the audience because that’s not what art and truth and self-expression is about
That I fly with any and every idea that arises because I don’t have internal judgements when it comes to my own expression, and I don’t need things to be perfect or to last or to become something more or to even be understood or validated — I just need truth expressed and I’ll refine or build upon it after the fact if I want or need to
That in the area of creative self-expression, I am free of doubt / hesitation / comparison / shame — it’s just fun / essential / natural / ME
That I never stopped posting an insane amount despite the criticism and mockery (especially in the early years) when that’s just how fast things move through me — and why the fuck would I put the brakes on ME?
And that despite my online following dwindling year after year as I went deeper and higher into my work — which inevitably positioned me further on the periphery — it didn’t stop me from doing said work out loud because I’m here to do what the fuck I’m here to do, with or without an audience.
