It is a really good time to get lost in a book.
Just Kids by Patti Smith (where this quote comes from) is a classic.
So beautiful, real and tender.
It helps me tune in, not tune out.
Life has hard things, and we can survive and make art that shines anyway.
This is the drive that keeps me going.
The incredible honesty in Just Kids was a huge inspiration for my own coming-of-age-creatively memoir, “Freedom Year: How Trying to Become a Dominatrix (and Failing) Changed my Life.”
