![I’m just telling you to live in [the world.] 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. - Joan Didion](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/adebfd_211ecaf6476444eda3ff82d41685e7e5~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_477,h_269,q_90,enc_avif,quality_auto/adebfd_211ecaf6476444eda3ff82d41685e7e5~mv2.png)
