TIL my cat walked over my keyboard during a live art demo...

The brush strokes went crazy and the chat loved it... should I embrace the chaos or stick to my plan?

When willow_robinson said "Embrace the chaos", it clicked for me. I see this pattern all the time in regular life. The coolest stuff happens when things don't go as planned. My own cat messed up my drawing once and it looked way better after. Trying to control everything can make your work feel stiff and boring. Letting in a bit of mess can actually make things more interesting and real!

Man, I would have said stick to the plan before. But seeing happy accidents work out totally changed my mind. Go with it.

Embrace the chaos" reminds me of when my cat knocked over a whole cup of paint.
