Artistic Takeaways

Keep on making - pump out volume

1. ABC always be creating 
2. In your head, a poem, a dance, who cares.

In the beginning you will think pure aesthetic beauty is the apex of art, that is wrong

1. Find your message, read next point

Art - Iterate on the past

Life Take Aways

Like much of america’s youth, myself included. Margo did not know what to stand for or what her message was at a young age.

1. Find out what matters to you.
2. How? Learn, read, consume information from people much wiser, aka books.

Understand no work is truly finished, you have to part at some point

1. Life is not perfect, you must learn to accept things and compromise

You can get lost in the sauce and make it out.

1. Cliche, but don't let your failures define you.  

Being real/honest works for some people, and can empower you.

• Ideation/Inspiration - What moves her, what's the message.
