if you don't know what to do. be more simple! you can't go wrong with the simple things. take simple pictures, eat simple meals, draw simple pictures. the oversimplification of things tends to drive some of us away from doing good. i cannot say i do not fall victim to it...
anyways! here is a simple picture i took earlier today that i thought was cool

take a walk, sit in the sun, talk to my friends - idk SOMETHING that is not looking at my phone screen. however, even though i try this, i still fall victim to it oftenš. i love my phone; i am not perfect.
anyways, if i will just surround myself with real tangible things (the people i love, grass under my feet, a good meal i cooked) i tend to find myself inspired in some way. if you let it, life will constantly inspire you in some shape or form. allow all the ideas to flow! even if they sound silly/cliche! an idea is an idea and no one can take it from you!
finding beauty in the mundane is a real life saver for a photographer/writer like myself.

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.

Basically, that ācathedrals are everywhereā thingā see a rec from Baby from a few days ago haha
To be receptive to this, I just have to work at creating things all the time whether I feel inspired or not. Inspiration wonāt strike, itāll seep in from everywhere as long as the practice doesnāt stop. Thereās so much to take from the seemingly mundane world that it can actually feel impossible to keep up with all the things I want to try to create.Ā
What excites me is the stuff I canāt explain, but could attempt to convey with art. Inspiration comes as a fragment of an idea that I canāt place or a feeling thatās too wide to grasp all at once. If I understand it instantly, if the idea is complete and I can name it, it might be nice but it is not interesting. If the feeling is open ended, then I can try to recreate that little mystery, like an experiment, or to complete it, and see where that brings me.Ā
I donāt think of the things and people I love as muses, but I guess Iām bound to notice more of what inspires me in the places I frequent the most and people I surround myself with. This is all really vague and rambling, but basically itās usually little things like the way light hits the branches of a favorite tree or the way someone just picked up a cup.

its so beautiful. this is my first time seeing legitimate snow in my life. i've lived on the southern coast my entire life and have only experienced little sheets of ice that we desperately labeled as snow. i envy people who are able to experience this every winter; it certainly is magical.

one of my favorite feelings. might've just done it. youll never know!
i think people do not cry enough. i dont know why because it feels so good. we feel so much better after we cry because our bodies are made to do that! embrace the emotions because thats what makes us human!!!
