In the fullness of time, the truth of anything will reveal.I’m currently writing this piece several thousand feet above the ground, as I head to Los Angeles. This will be my first time visiting the city, as well as meeting my friends and colleagues at MOUTHWASH. I had a conversation with someone towards the end of last year who mentioned that LA always felt like possibility, but it wasn’t until landing, that I fully understood where they were coming from.On liminality, creating in the unknown, and finding my place in MW.S
Very much appreciate your commentary on time and how it’s helpful to surrender to it. I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of time lately. It’s interesting how we always try to master time to somehow speed up a process. But I like how you reflect on time and accept it as an uncontrollable factor by choosing to not set deadlines on goals or milestones.
Thank you for reading the piece, I’m really glad to hear it resonated! I love what you noted about how we try to control time: “It’s interesting how we always try to master time to somehow speed up a process.” - I couldn’t agree more. I’ve also been thinking a lot about the consequences that can sometimes come with surrendering to one’s own timing (and the unknown component). It seems that a huge part of that process is making peace with the fomo that may come about as a result. Still figuring that part out…haha
My podcast cohost and I have been thinking about that very idea: on surrendering to one’s own timing and what that looks and feels like and the natural sacrifices that come with choosing to surrender to a path that you feel so deeply about but don’t have all the answers to. Definitely going to give the pieces you shared a read. An article that I love on this idea of time is The Tyranny of Time --> https://www.noemamag.com/the-tyranny-of-time
This week’s newsletter really hit me in a way unimaginable. It feels like I needed to see this message. I don’t necessarily have the words to express myself as well written the letter was but, I’d like to tell you guys what you doing with Common Discourse and each and every project and side project affiliated with Mouthwash studios feels purposeful. You can feel the intentionality with everything and I simply cannot thank you guys enough for it. Through words, sound and imagery you guys never fail to leave me inspired and in awe.
This is me simply saying thank you for not only this post but actually making your dreams and ideas into life/fruition. They inspire a lot of us
