1. TIME WARP ANGELS

have some fucking fun. ego is thinking anybody cares enough about you to judge. GET MESSY GET LOUD START DANCING TAKE A SHOT TAKE A HIT LAUGH OBNOXIOUSLY HIT THE NOTE.

2.CREATE MORE THAN U CONSUME

there is no saving us in a world of corruption but art will keep you alive. self-expression will free you. give as much as you take, in all things.

3. let the current lead, swim by the sea

the universe will guide you. notice synchronicities, follow accordingly and all will fall into place. consciously keep yourself in tune with the world and harmonious living will find you. swim in the ocean because that shit will heal you.

4. fuck EITHER/OR

there should be no ultimatum between the aesthetic/ethical worlds. all choices end in regret. do both.

5. livebyL♥VE

strength and power is in choosing to be kind, choosing to love gently and tenderly, choosing compassion and choosing to let go of everything and anything that keeps you from doing so. love is the root of all deep emotion and the entirety of the human experience in all of it's underwhelming overwhelmingness. love lives inside of us, settled deeply into our souls before our own existence. it chills your blood, intoxicates your veins, electrifies your entire being. do you feel it? warming your heart, caressing your flesh, paralyzing your body? love is everything, in all forms.

6. DEPTH is a SCALE

respect the balance. life will function amicably from matching depth everywhere, consciously. protect your energy and do not overextend yourself to the point of one-sided stagnation. play your part, fall into your role with awareness, observe passively. people can only know and feel you as deeply as they do themselves

7. CONNECTION ≠ ATTACHMENT

connection to everything, attachment to nothing. attachments are the first step in every cycle of emotional distress.

8. ?everything

ask what makes you feel that way, ask why the leaves of different trees avoid overlap, ask why the windshield wipers travel in increments of ten seconds. ask yourself how to break a bad habit, ask how to find inner peace. question everything, even the mundane. stay curious.

9. NOTICE OBSERVE ABSORB

stay present and pay attention. observe and appreciate the world around you, and in you. notice the way a friend laughs, observe how it becomes harder at a certain subject everytime, absorb the newfound knowledge to make them laugh. notice the doubt creeping inside of you, observe the way it pools in your stomach in specific environments, absorb and digest the information. watch the way wind combs through grass artfully, gaze over the vibrating frequency that almost makes it appear static, appreciate the beauty of the world working in harmony.

10. STARVE THE EGO, FEED THE SOUL

DECENTER YOUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE REMOVE ALL SUBJECTIVITY FROM MEMORY LET YOUR SENSE OF SELF DISSOLVE INTO EVERYTHING DO NOT KEEP TOO MANY VICES BALANCE ID AND SUPEREGO LISTEN TO YOUR BODY FEEL YOUR EMOTIONS DO NOT OVER NOR UNDER INTELLECTUALIZE EXPRESS YOURSELF LEARN SOMETHING NEW READ A BOOK LISTEN TO MUSIC WATCH MOVIES FOLLOW THE GASMASKGRL MANIFESTO
