Hey guys, Btw great show at the arkaba Jordan. I feel so educated x Similar to Mislav, I’m definitely motivated by strong emotions. Especially as a visual artist. Feelings, music and imagery speak much louder and affect me much more deeply than words. But I have noticed a change now that I’m pregnant. Yes I can get emotional, and yes it doesn’t take much for me to cry. But it’s different. It feels more physical now. Hormones dictate emotions more intensely. My motivations seem to be more inclined to practicality - ‘must nest, must prepare, must organise. This isn’t a time to fuck around etc’ - I’m way more organised in my thought patterns than I was before pregnancy. So now I’m way more organised and practical, but I’ll cry during an episode of 60 minutes…

2022-02-21 01:17:00 +0000 UTCDamn man I feel like I could’ve made this post myself, literally (almost) word for word. My demotivation comes from a sense of “…well nothing meaningful will come of [whatever idea I have], and I’ll look back and see it was just a waste of time.” But I guess you gotta fail a few times before you can find success, and for myself at least (and maybe you) I gotta focus on relatively attainable goals, lean into what I’m confident in, and task myself with small creative projects not just big ones, so my brain sees evidence of the fruits of my labor and doesn’t give up on the bigger projects. Hope that helps

2022-02-19 10:21:32 +0000 UTCI find the artistic pursuit to be a cathartic emotional release; a byproduct of existence. I'm probably more similar to Ali in that I'm not really affected by 'horrible' things I see and read most of the time, or at least not consciously. Even stuff like climate change doesn't bother me much anymore, I figure consciousness is inevitable so it's bound to pop up elsewhere if the Earth goes to shit (however, this latter thought that consciousness never ends has terrified me in the past). With that said, I'm going to guess that those little sadnesses in life do get to me little by little, without my realising. We're all affected, to some degree, by life; art is made to cope with that feeling. We express those poignant, oftentimes abstract, thoughts via some tangible, sensible medium (i.e. art). In my case this happens to be music (woah how original). I find art itself to be something that sticks with you long after it's experienced (as though it has fundamentally changed some way you process the world), whereas entertainment is really only 'enjoyable', or considered, for the duration it's being consumed. The exact artistic value of something then becomes subjective, not only due to personal tastes, but on your previous experiences/thoughts.

2022-02-19 09:47:52 +0000 UTCThis pod was actually beautiful. I feel as though my brain has Jordan’s driven, goal achieving mindside but I don’t listen to it because i also Mislav’s appreciation for art and the small things (and laziness). Music is my passion (and life goal/career) but I feel as though I’m not doing enough. I can happily sit in my room staring at a cool image for hours (or at the clouds) but I also have the nagging feeling that I have to be doing more. The Jordan part of my mind is my constant source of anxiety because I know I’m far capable of more if I just tap in and do the work, but I don’t for no good reason. I constantly daydream about what I can achieve with my music and I do have days where I get a lot done and feel very satisfied/proud but my laziness makes me feel very comfortable doing nothing. I feel like once I manage to tap into Jordan’s work ethic and direct that to the the artistic side of my life mind then I’ll be sorted, but for now it’s being lazy, broke, anxious and full of ambition lmao. Again, great up late guys I really appreciate it xx

2022-02-19 02:33:32 +0000 UTCBoys can I just say how great it is that you guys have conversations like this with each other. I find think along similar lines to Jordan and Ali, but my friendships lack depth like this. My mates mostly just talk about sport and paying each other out, which is great but there’s something lacking. I think there are barriers socialised into males that make it hard for us to connect deeply, so I’m stoked you guys are able to, and are able to make it entertaining. Love your work

2022-02-18 10:51:00 +0000 UTCI always felt like my life was a domino effect of negative event after negative event, I got so enveloped by my mental disorders that I lost all perception of life and reality and then one day this little kitten was abandoned at my door barely alive, I took her in and 6yrs later this cat is the thing I live for, I have never loved anything as much as I love this cat, id be dead without her.

2022-02-18 09:20:15 +0000 UTCMislav sounds super creative I think even though it sounds like he lacks work ethic. I think Jordan said once that he's like Craig Ferguson who's more of a creative comedian. Apparently high creativity is hard to monetise if the person is also low in conscientiousness. I'd also say that he would be high in neuroticism cause he experiences more negative thoughts and emotions than the other two. Just my 2 cents

2022-02-18 06:36:17 +0000 UTCWhen I create music, its all about the production and the way it sounds. I don't give a shit about lyrics personally, and I'm a rapper. Literally the only reason I rap is non musicians only listen to the lyrics so its just to get normies in the door to hear the instrumental haha. Believe me, the irony is not lost on me.

2022-02-18 06:35:35 +0000 UTCI'm motivated by trying to slow down my fucking mind. My mind races at a thousand miles an hour but it's chaotic and not always productive. And I'm plagued with anxiety, a deep anxiety that I've carried from childhood. I've started reading about Stoicism and I'm trying to reprogram myself. That has helped.
