“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
-Dolly Parton
This quote is important since it means that to find happiness or success you have to go through sadness and failure. As someone who constantly feels like I am inferior to others, seeing that others also feel the same and your effort is worth it is inspiring. Although, I’ve never listened to Dolly Parton.
Honestly, the lyricism in this always makes me come to tears. Every onomatopoeia is a statement against society. When they compare objects to blue it shows you the broken mindset of our youth. Its storytelling of an alien who only sees the blue, day, and night shows you the dystopia of the future. So inspirational.
This painting is White Center (Pink, Yellow, and Lavender on Rose) by Mark Rothko in 1950. It was sold for $73 million. It is a very large painting, and painted with lots of effort and looks very nice for something so simple and empty. It makes me elicit feelings such as: damn, why is this so expensive? The funniest thing is that he has multiple paintings like this: very big, looks nice, took lots of time, but still basically just rectangles, just with different colors. It’s made to elicit strong emotions from you, and in this case, it makes me feel anger and confusion. It inspires me that no matter how much effort you put in your life, you will never make this much money over a dozen lifetimes. It kind of grounds me on how insignificant we are and to stay humble and how your success is based on luck.
I’m not on other websites as often as YouTube so I put it here. There are creators with high-quality videos. It got me into listening to underground albums and watching animation. I also learned how to do 3d modeling and some channels helped me with math and can be helpful to find tutorials on very specific things.
