On Living — a quote from Joan Didion
"I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I don't think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave's a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that's what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it."
— Joan Didion (1975 Commencement Address at the University of California, Riverside)

Half-Typed Texts — a creative prompt from us.
I often have ideas, and no plans nor skills to execute them. So take them, and share with us what you make of them :).
Half-typed texts, deleted and never sent.
What happens to all the texts that have been typed out, then deleted letter by letter in a moment of restraint and after thought? Do they go somewhere? Like a limbo of unsaid things?
Write/paint/photograph/draw something, and share with us by emailing zine@co-create.space or replying to this newsletter.
QUESTION FOR YOU
What was the last message you typed and then deleted? If you’re brave, share with us on Twitter or Instagram using our handle @cocreate_space!
I love the question about deleted type. The thing is, even if nobody got to read it (because it was deleted), the person who typed it did create it, so on some level and in some way it will have had effects, ripples, because of the thinking and energy that went into it. That's the most philosophical thing I've said all year.
I am in love with the quote
