If I was to think of the time I’ve given to ASMR over the last decade I may never recover! Haha. But you’re right. And when in those states when we need the kind of art (or ‘content’) that is soothing, it’s not like it’s a good idea to force yourself into more challenging work anyway. Not only is it worse emotionally to do so but it’s not like you’ll engage with the work properly either.

But it’s also one of those things that is easy to say but harder to feel is completely true for yourself, I think!
