A boss in these streets.

I don't wanna rush my thoughts whenever I share with you guys. I'm a firm believer in haste makes waste. But at the same time, I can't help but feel like even the mistakes you make, you can reflect upon and then move on from!

It's obvious you can't delete everything and honestly, who's work ever deserves to be deleted? But in the words of the late Steve Jobs, 'We must clear the old to make space for the new.' I don't want to take his words too out of context, but he's referencing the need for a strong drive, as we will pave the way for those to follow.

With a thought process like that, it's hard to argue the man's brilliance. It seems overstated, but he did have many truths to speak on. Last thing I'd expect is to hear Jobs' voice on a track by Nipsey.. I'll share that song at some point, but it does not entirely fit here, so I'll hold off for now.

My thought is, I don't mind deleting my photos too much, because it always makes room for new work to be captured! And let's be real, I could really use some more ~~money~~ space. I'm always hearing I'm 'nearly out of storage' or I can 'clear these contents to make space'. I think keeping healthy reminders to clear the clutter is good. It's all apart of this new mentality I'm developing anyway.

Destruction is a form of creation, and all that.

But these are just some thoughts. I can't really speak for everyone's creative process, only mine. I will say that everyone needs some type of guiding light, because what's even more destructive than deleting all your work, is the doubt. Without a resolute faith in yourself, your art will reflect an insecurity, I feel. I think what we share, and choose not to, speaks for us just as loud as anything we may say.
