I'm turning into a real snowflake. Feel zero motivation doing anything that does not have a measure of artistic merit/interest. Probably stayed too long in the clod part of the clod-snowflake cycle and didn't sufficiently nourish self-absorbed artistic pretensions side of myself.

I think I go through a 7 year cycle, 5 years in thick-skinned clod mode to do the things needed for survival, and then 2 years of high-strung, temperamental snowflake mode to recharge soul brb, reading my own advice on how to do this right ribbonfarm.com/2015/09/17/how

"What keeps the snowflake in check is the act of creating in the external world. If staring in a mirror strengthens and feeds the snowflake’s larger-than-life identity, the act of external creation dissolves it." - can't external creation act like a mirror, though?

I keep thinking of Clod vs Snowflake when I listen to this Kendrick Lamar album. It has a structure where it alternates between Kendrick engaging his snowflake side in one song and the next song engages his Clod side.
