Find your voice in obscurity and solitude
You already have a voice; it’s built into you.1 Rilke says you must first go into solitude to find it.2
!That alone is living the artist’s life
Celebrities, especially young ones, must struggle with inauthenticity when managed by suits and huge markets. One perk of being a small potato is not having to face that pressure. So don’t be fooled by any “inner suits” pressuring you to be more relatable. Beware of following trends because as soon as you cater to one, there’s a new one that has supplanted it.3
Perhaps solitude is the place to work out the dynamic between these voices.
