We have to make time to make stuff. It can’t be just something we do for “pleasure” or “self-care” but needs to be prioritized as a requirement for a “life full of deep satisfaction”.

“Treat art less like a diversionary pleasure and more like exercise or sleep or loving relationships: a necessity for a life full of deep satisfaction. I’m not saying you need to quit your job and become a poet. But you should make a daily effort to get off the wheel of Ixion.”
