Dear Chic Bangs,
It’s been incredible watching you grow and achieve so much through the years. You’ve always shown courage and ingenuity in your career, diving straight into the deep end. By trying new things and saying yes to opportunities, you’ve had a multilayered career and have uplifted those around you in the process.
Your love for music and entertaining has put you in recording studios, dj booths and on stages, runways, airwaves and screens. You’ve shown up with grace, dignity and integrity - even when it seems to go unnoticed. You’ve paved your own path and never waited for permission. I’m so proud of your curiosity and commitment to learning through your creative practices. The way you intentionally share your talents inspires others to listen to their heart and pursue their passions. I’m so proud of you. Keep going, the world needs joy. And to dance more.
Love, Chic Bangs
critical chic: why are you still doing this? supportive chic: because i love it.
critical chic: haven’t you outgrown it? supportive chic: i don’t believe we ever outgrow passion.
critical chic: but aren’t you too old? supportive chic: too old to create? never. perspectives and voices of all ages are important
critical chic: who do you think you are? supportive chic: i know who i am. i’m an artist, here to help people live as their highest self.
critical chic: oh really? how do you do that? supportive chic: through high vibe music and art.
critical chic: what makes it “high vibe”? supportive chic: a lot, actually. emotional intelligence fuels my practices and creations. i tune into frequencies that are uplifting, honor the range of human emotion, write words that are supportive and not destructive, i incorporate universal symbols and numerology, my work is coded with frequencies that make others think and feel good.
i believe beauty can be found anywhere and there is magic in the mundane.
critical chic: why do you care so much? supportive chic: i dream of a world that is rooted in joy, not fear. i believe beauty can be found anywhere and there is magic in the mundane. i know this perspective isn’t the norm and it can be easier to complain or criticize, but having fun and enjoying life is revolutionary.
critical chic: what if people make fun of you? supportive chic: there will always be people who make fun of others, but to me, that shows their lack of trying. it speaks more about them, than me. i choose to focus on the people who show love and support.
critical chic: why don't you just quit? supportive chic: keep going is a phrase that i live by. there’s power in the ability to pivot and thankfully, it comes naturally to me. i love to explore and experiment. trying new things makes life fun and if something doesn’t bring me joy, i’ll stop doing it. music, dance and art will always be the core of who i am, so i’ll never quit enjoying that part of myself.
supportive chic: anything else? critical chic: no, keep going.
Love this! Gotta keep vibrating higher!
“Mundane beauty is the most beautiful” That’s a nice thought. Can’t remember where, but I read somewhere how a lot of art is just about helping you realize the beauty in the most ordinary things that you failed to see, through making connections between already existing unexpectedly common perspectives
wrote about this recently too! haha https://paragraph.xyz/@chicbangs.eth/fighting-imposter-syndrome
For the last 3 nights, just before going to sleep, I’ve been staring at a lamp in the middle of my friend’s apartment. There was something about its peculiar and unpractical location, the light it shed on the curtains. I pointed it to her and we both sat in silence, blending with the orange glow of the light in 3.7-meter-high room. It was beautiful. The lamp. The moment. The connection made possible by something so mundane. Not sure if mundane things are most beautiful (the most stunning beauty I’ve ever experienced come from nature after lots of struggle, like 24h march or a hike) but I’m pretty sure a mind state that allows to see a beauty in mundane is definitely something worth thriving for everyday.
Literally used the words “finding beauty in the mundane” in this cast tonight. https://warpcast.com/maretus.eth/0x284af811 Subconscious theme of the day??
definitely a theme
Jungian unconscious unfolded :)
