Many small things

I want Take to be many small things.

I have opinions about many things, and I want to express them. In a cultural climate where everyone reacts to everything everywhere, I want to exist.

I want to unlearn my sense of occasion, write what I think and get it out there. Some people will disagree and others won't care; it's all okay.

Purple

The color scheme of Take is purple. I am partial to blue, gray and slate. Purple and lavender are close cousins, work well and are different to me.

Purple is also the color a link turns when you click it.

Take

Welcome to Take, where I can give my take on things.

Starting over

An idea becomes a sketch, a sketch becomes a real thing, a real thing becomes a habit.

Human brains are made to seek patterns, and human minds are made to crave structure. Structure frames a narrative within which to be creative.

Human brains, minds and instincts are made to remember, to learn, to iterate on what has gone before, to develop eagerly the ideas of yesterday into a perfected whole, arguments piled on top of each other, as if to stand witness to time and effort spent, as if to legitimize, as if to define identity.

Narratives, structures, habits, prisons.

Sometimes, it's best to just start over.
