    Having fish vs. Knowing how to get fish.

    Next step? Thriving>surviving. Truly understand that thriving takes a village. People skills matter. If every other human is the enemy then you are clearly outnumbered.

      This was one reason I chose a career path in fibre arts. I like knowing how to thread a loom and weave a basket. But it also comes with the question of who’s going to spin all the thread? That shit is booooring and you need a metric fuck ton of it.

      this is pretty much it summed up. Though i tend to leave out the community part because that’s the one thing these people seem to understand. Makes my point a little more apparent.

      Also i just have an inherent distrust towards other people.
