tbh the real advice I’d give to anyone is, do shit alone. go to a museum & go at your own pace & leave the instant you’re done. go somewhere you’ve never been and just wander around, duck into & out of places as it pleases you. linger as long as you’d like.
“To feel everything in the same way,
To live everything from both sides,
To be the same thing in all ways possible at the same time,
To realize in oneself all humanity at all moments,
In one scattered, extravagant and complete and aloof moment.”
— Fernando Pessoa (as Álvaro de Campos), After All (from A Little Larger Than the Entire Universe: Selected Poems, trans. Richard Zenith)
“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good, either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”
