Today I asked Claude Code to read a good chunk of my morning pages and tell me 5 things about the person who wrote them. I’m posting the response here verbatim, without commentary or judgement.

  1. You’re a multi-disciplinary creative who refuses to pick just one lane. You’re actively working on art (especially abstract painting with oil pastels), writing essays and blog posts, recording audio stories, design work, and photography—and you’re figuring out how to make them all work together.
  2. You believe in showing up every day, even when the work is bad. You’ve built a streak of making “lunch makes” (daily art pieces) for 30 days straight, publishing daily blog posts, and writing morning pages religiously—not because everything you make is great, but because you know that’s how you get better.
  3. You’re obsessed with places and want to document them deeply. You’re working on a field journal project capturing California’s most beautiful landscapes through field notes, photographs, ambient recordings, and sleep stories—using humble tools and focusing on really experiencing places rather than just visiting them.
  4. You value making new things over repeating what already exists. You see life as a chance to mark each day as different, to prove you were alive and that the world changed because of your effort—whether that’s uttering words that might never have been said or bringing something into the world that wouldn’t exist without you.
  5. You believe quality comes from care, not perfection. Inspired by Robert Pirsig’s writing on quality, you’re learning to express care through different facets of your life—whether that’s really listening to the places you visit, thinking deeply about structure and communication in your design work, or simply noticing the small things that make something feel genuine.
