i am like synthetic cubism
Maybe with a bit of Italian futurism thrown in there. A mishmash of disparate elements from various disciplines, curious about everything, constantly moving and looking around, eternally cursed to never be a true master of any one thing. The amalgamation, however, looks kind of beautiful, right? At least on canvas, it does.
I’ve kind of come to terms with it, which is why I’ve decided not to do a PhD. I would go crazy… I can’t fall madly, deeply, desperately in love with one particular subject. If you look at my bookshelf, I have books about random things like art, design, psychology, economics, marketing, philanthropy, philosophy, public policy, sexuality, alternative lifestyles, etc. It’s extremely easy for me to impulsively become passionate about something, start a project, suddenly become jaded or interested in another thing, jump to something else, and not finish the initial thing that I started.
I need to have more structure in my life. Or maybe I should try to find some common theme, but the most common theme I’ve found so far is my love for many fundamentally different things.
