CMSA NOTES FROM LOS ANGELES; WHAT SHE SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!– “Your life right now is as real as it will ever be. It won't be more real in the future, when you get into or out of college or into or out of a relationship or a job or a financial quagmire or a health problem. In fact, the things keeping you back—these embarrassing, boring, stupid obstacles—are the heart of what it is to be human. They're the whole reason for making and needing art." Miranda July, on embracing life as it is (see Lena Dunham and Miranda July Talk Taboos and Miranda July Releases a Messaging App With a Message).
