You’re Not in School Anymore

You may have gone to a King County Community College.
You may have gone to California State Bakersfield.
Maybe even the University of Washington.
UT Austin.
Harvard.

It really doesn’t matter.

After graduation, there’s a tendency to continue producing for your former professors.
You keep writing for that English or Philosophy teacher.
You keep thinking for that Sociology professor.
You keep submitting for that thesis advisor.

You’re both creating for a previous context and missing your current audience.
You’re not in school anymore. Leave it behind.
You don’t need the validation.

Create from where you are. Right now.
For the people around you.
Trust yourself.
