finally looking at school trauma and jesus fucking christ man

ironically i'm now gonna quote someone else: keith johnstone said a similar thing in impro about artists censoring their creativity out of worry about how it reflects on them, rather than e.g. seeing art as something that pours out of but doesn't belong to the artist
