CAPTIONS + PHOTOGRAPHY
I design stupid little thought experiments
Art. is a form of human expression
Everything we do involves sharing thoughts
But nobody ever voices the thoughts I’m sharing
I attach my thoughts to my pictures
I describe the mood of the moment
I advocate for shy people
Because we need a chance to stand out
I call myself playfully weird, because it’s the best affirmation I’ve found to be accept that even though the situation might not be comfortable
I am
Art. is the closest thing we have to represent human expression.
I tell you what my thoughts were so you can guess how I was feeling
Neither the picture or the caption can tell you the whole story without the other
So if you want to read my mind, go right ahead
It’s like I’m playing the over-simplified version of Social Media
The algorithm exists to ensure that the only thing you see, are popular posts and videos. Pre-liked. Of course you’re going to find it interesting. The algorithm may not know why, but it knows that you will too.
Let people know “what you have going on inside your mind”, because that is all anyone else is doing
Just take everything as it is told.
Surface Level.
This is the Human Expression
I have been waiting, hoping for an idea to come across my mind. Something I’m passionate about… All of us are. We all just want something to do rather than just get on social media and scroll. The goal is always to have an easy access, low effort, fun, productive, activity that motivates us to be happy… Of all the hobbies out there, none of them seem to hold my attention as much as I hoped, and it’s not like I need my hobby to guarantee money, but the idea of that being possible is nice!
Taking pictures, and posting them is not uncommon, and neither is writing a caption with it. IDK why, but I never did it. I felt uncomfortable, judged, weird, off, and uneasy… It’s like the act of letting someone into my life was intrusive… but then i realized I don’t care. Nobody cares, but what I’m doing is new. Only because nobody sees the same things I do in the world, and nobody has the same thoughts. So does that make me special, mmmmm. Yessss, but also No. We are all different, but anyone can do this, so will their ever be a repeat? Probably not. Weird?
This seems like an opportunity to start a community, of unique individuals who want to start doing the same thing. It’s not a waste of time, but rather a chance to practice seeing what gets the most attention. When you see the analytics, you learn, and you see trends. Then, as you continue to evolve, your online presence improves. It’s undeniable with time and data, because all you have to do is refine the content to align with the things people find interesting about you.
Can you come up with any other word to describe that better than “personal growth”. Nobody else has to join you for you to improve, and you don’t ever get hurt from someone else doing it, because they will still never be “who you are”, and people watch “who they like“, because they like what that person is referencing, because its relevant to what they do in life.
Who knows what you’re working towards… You can’t even know yet, but once you start you will have ideas, and you will filter yourself as you go, because you can consciously alter your awareness to look for things that fit your desires
Nobody has to know why you’re doing it, you’re just doing it for fun, because it’s a fun hobby that distracts you from doing other things
Similar lives = Similar minds = Rewatched content
With the skills you learn, you actually develop an eye for the good designs in your craft. Except this is the Art. of consciousness. So can you imagine what it would be like to develop this skill?

I personally understand that people need help with story marketing. Its hard to ensure that client minds don’t always match up with client traffic. So, you need a someone to demonstrate “the day in the life of a client that uses xyz”. I’m practicing this on my own. Hoping you see what you need to for your own life, but this is not my area to convince, but rather a place to visit. A mind to set you back on track, that’s willing to tell you anything you want to know! So just reach out and ask! Take advantage of the conversation, and lets see where it goes. Art. is in the dynamic dance of “not understanding what is going to come out of it.”
There is no goal, no therapy, no consulting, only just a place to practice.
Being the Odd One Out is being interested in self-improvement, and being willing to do anything you can to get better. That mindset is a lifestyle, and it exists in the conversations you have because of the thoughts you’ve been thinking. Life may not be hard, perfect, nor will it ever be. However, there is one opportunity we have to stay happy, and that is “to always be working on self-improvement”.
Nothing else will make you happy, except for the knowledge of knowing you are making progress. So if you want to go through a mental training course, and learn new ways to be treated and new perspectives to have during a conversation, and learn how to get over fear, anxiety, stress, and desire.
CONNECT WITH ME SO WE CAN TALK
The Art. of getting better at conversation comes in the act of misunderstanding, re-examining, questioning, confusion, guilt, embarrassment, anxiety, fear, hesitation, awkwardness, regret, discomfort, disorganization, curiosity, acceptance, denial, compassion, and forgiveness.
And gets topped off with a learning lesson.
You’ll learn to stop taking things personally
