An introduction to my ugly:

This was my last year of letting myself go (in the physical sense)

I took a lot of time this year perfecting my crafts, polishing my will, & training my mind; making myself intangible.

It’s made me lose weight, not cut my hair, poor skin care, isolate, & forget about my representation I have to carry for my gorgeous friends.

I really wish I can say I’ve felt hot, but I know I wasn’t playing with no fire. I can for sure say I’ve felt more beautiful than ever though, despite this being my worst appearance.

Biggest lesson of 2021: Beauty, however defined, is not necessarily attractive. & ugliness is not always repulsive.

We only enjoy beauty if we have an active concept of ugliness. a measure of ugliness is essential to keep our beauty alive.

‘Beauty’, however defined, is not necessarily attractive. And ugliness is not always repulsive. Besides, tastes change. The tides of taste go back and forth, erasing aesthetic certainties.

The strange truth is: too much beauty would be intolerable, an awful world of meticulously cropped lawns and starched linen.

We only enjoy beauty if we have an active concept of ugliness. a measure of ugliness is essential to keep our appetites alive.

exactly how much ugliness should we maintain in our world though? Should we actually encourage its production? What’s the optimum exposure to ugliness?

Like it or not, we are all in a continuing debate about aesthetics. Everyone knows the art critic said ‘Beauty is … no big deal, but the lack of it is’.

Maybe, but if everything were beautiful … nothing would be.

“I mean who’s history’s author?
You was never right if you read it right.
Am I throwing shade, am I shedding light?
I’ve been catching vibes
Young Jerry Rice going deep.. with it. “

“I wonder if there's a single place in the whole world that's never had a story. I bet not. I just about guarantee you there's no places like that in America. Every little square of it, every place you stomp your foot, that's where something happened. Something wild, maybe something nobody knows about, but something. You can fall out of the sky and right into some forgotten storybook.

You run and run and run and you keep turning pages and none of them are empty. They're all full of stories. There's nowhere left to write.

I think I'm just a bookmark.”

Here’s an introduction to my Ugly;

There are no makeovers in my books. The ugly duckling does not become a beautiful swan. He becomes a confident duck able to take charge of his own life and problems.

Own your ‘ugly’ and make art from it.

Real beauty can’t be photographed.

I'm proposing a change: love thy worker-bee. Celebrate the ones who work without complaint, play on a team, construct the hive, produce the honey... executing the plan.
