It’s like a line in the sand, a shifting post that refuses to be marked down. So why do we try so hard to form identities and label ourselves, in efforts of solidifying something that was always meant to be fluid and ever-changing?

Be a good gatekeeper of the content you consume, and rather than going out & seeking inspiration, to simply follow your innate curiosity and see where that leads.
