Normally I like to read a bit of stoic philosophy, whether it be Epictetus or Marcus Aurelius or Seneca. And then I journal a little bit and I start off the day intentionally, no matter what is going on in my life by reading. placing myself firmly in reality and not looking at all this chaos that's coming at me through this screen, through this digital world.

Because if I do that, if I wake up and immediately check the news or check social media, then I have started off my first few moments of consciousness at the mercy of the dictates of others. I have not decided what I'm going to think about, what I'm going to work on today, how I would at the very least like to attempt to approach the issues that are going to face me this day.

I just start off looking at stuff. I'm a passive sponge. I'm immediately inputting all this other stuff and let's face it. a lot of it is negative, whether it be social media or the news. It's just a lot of negativity. That is no way to start off the day. I will be an ineffective human being because I'm starting off the day consumed by anxiety.

Then what I'm trying to do throughout the day is remind myself that I'm just one person. I'm just one human being. And I can only use the tools I have at my disposal to try and make myself calm, to improve my life, and hopefully in doing that, make the world a better place. For me, my tools, I'm an artist, right? This is the one question I would...

At 53 years old, it's a little late to become a doctor or a scientist or any of that stuff. I'm a writer, a musician, and a photographer. I'm an artist. As bizarre as it is to me to this day, I'm a professional artist. So I'm looking... at what I do that day and trying to create art that matters and that can be of service to others. Because it just, it feels better to me. It just does.

It's primarily a mode of expressing myself, admittedly. That's why I was drawn to this life. Even when it was not profitable, no guarantee of monetary compensation or whatever, but I felt as if expressing myself through any of these three things, it's what I'm supposed to be doing.
