> Everything I make is a diary entry. The beauty of a diary entry is, I can write my diary entry and you can’t tell me my diary entry wasn’t good enough, or that’s not what I experienced. Of course it’s what I experienced, I’m writing a personal diary for myself. No one else can judge it. > > It is my experience of my life. Everything we make can be *that*. Can be a personal reflection of who we are in that moment of time. It doesn’t have to be the greatest you could ever do. It doesn’t have to have any expectation that it’s gonna change the world… > > All it is is I’m making this thing. I’m making it for me and I want to do it to be the best of my ability to where I feel good about it and where it’s *honest*. It’s honest of where I’m at. [[Rubin, Rick]] Saw a clip of Rick Rubin talking on a podcast. No idea when or where, because it was obviously posted by some AI content farm that watermarked the video, left space in the caption to credit the original video and speaker, and they just *didn’t*, lol. I hate it here. BUT! Love this quote and reframing.
