I tend to be really hard on myself when it comes to creative projects, but lately I've been trying to relax and enjoy it more, and I think it shows in the work. I feel more daring, more invested, more inspired. I find it's a lot easier to spark new ideas when you aren't wasting mental energy fixating on whether something is good but instead focused on having fun. People are intuitive. They can pick up what you're putting down.

I started letting go of perfectionism and started actually doing the things. And my brain got quieter, less tense, there was less feelings like I "needed" to do this and that. And then some thoughts started sounding different, like when I button or item in a video game is highlighted so you notice it more. My intuition is more clear now and the synchronicities that come out from that always makes me laugh a little and say "wow, how funny."

It's way too easy to over-write, over-paint, over-create. Just because it felt easy doesn't mean that it's bad. In fact, that zen feeling of inspiration *should* feel effortless. Don't let your work ethic ruin something good.
At the very least, step back before you do more. If it needs more work, you'll know the next time you look at it.

i have nothing against bearing your soul to the world from time to time but when you’re collaborating on something it’s much easier to emotionally distance yourself from the thing you’ve made as opposed to feeling like you’ve given the world a piece of yourself that you have to trust that it won’t smash into a million pieces (or worse, completely ignore)
you get to be all like “i think *we* could improve this“ instead of “i completely fucked this up.“ counter-intuitively, it’s great for the ego, and you get to learn a lot from the other person(s) involved

What happens behind the wheel is, frankly, none of my business. I'd rather spend my time picking songs/sipping coffee/taking in the scene.
Driving is so pedestrian.

I swear to god this shit is too powerful. It doesn’t always work out the way I hoped but the win/loss ratio is definitely in my favour. We are social creatures. We like helping each other. Just do it. Ask me for something if you want. Who knows what I’ll say.
