I believe in making, and the beauty, anguish and terror of it. The insecurities, the love, and the how everyone, no matter what they think, can be a maker.
Through mistakes, or misshapes, is when most things are made. You can be so wrong, and still be right. You can have no idea what you're doing, but still do and that is making.
There has never been a right or wrong answer. We set the rules, and we choose to follow or disregard them. We make our own path and that path determines what we make and how we sustain that making.
I believe that making relationships and making art is the same. Making something that means something to you, and no matter what it is, it's yours.
I feel like what people don't realize is that we make everyday. It has never had to be something extravagant or something that has taken a large amount of time. It just has to be something that you create and even if it has little value, it is still something that you made. Something that is a part of you.
Making is for everyone. Everyone is a maker and no matter what you make or how you feel about it, that fact never changes.
I love your manifesto! You inspired me to think about how I want to give you all manifesto documents... I have ideas :) Nice work on your blogs Taylor-- they are just full of life.
