I’ve been dealing with a creative rut for a while as well. It’s easy to get stuck in a process of trying to put out work at a feverish pace, but that speed makes it difficult to catch the creative ideas that come along. i believe there’s a creative frequency with ideas on it we can all tap into, when you move too fast you can’t catch them and they turn into what i call “creative flybys”. it’s easy to feel like you’re stuck, but i encourage you to explore other interests, creative or not, and also to download the pdf of “the creative act” by Rick Rubin, it’s a book that’s really helped me. wishing you love in your journey tho. it’s tough but keep going, when you get out of this rut, what you come out with will be beyond your imagination

yes & i also feel like it’s important to do things that have me exist more in my body, baking / gardening / whatever, if I’m in a creative rut it’s so often bc I‘m trying too hard to sit around and think all the time

went to a cinema club - this is what it's all about. community is real! even in the city! it's not all over. i watched natural enemies and boxing helena with my friend and ally charlie. the first was awesome, the second was less so - but arguably more fun. sherilyn fenn is not a star, she is something else entirely.

as someone who struggles to tell if the feelings they feel for others are reciprocated, it would be nice to know for sure i was cared about. making it easier to unashamedly care in return

change your thought patterns. repeat a phrase to redirect my thoughts, mine is “it’s noT mine to carry”. that way I’m not obsessing over it in my mind, i’ve already given it up
