One of the unexpected joys that’s come along with getting older is that I’ve embraced the view that it’s less complicated and much more interesting to allow myself to relax into my own opinions, tastes, and judgments concerning the work that I’m making rather than looking for affirmation from others by coaxing myself into conforming to someone else’s aesthetics.
I’m obviously rationalizing my decision making after the fact.
