holding yourself back when making a creative project

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.

having fun with it

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.

DO IT FOR YOURSELF!!

I tend to worry so much about what others think that it’s blocking my ability to be creative and live life in the way we were intended to. What I pin on Pinterest, what music I’m listening to, what I post on Instagram, what posts I like (bc my name could come up on the “liked by”) all feels so performative And like each thing I do is very strategic and thought out bc I’m worried it will affect someone’s perception of me. this translates to my art too. Before I’ve even created something, I’m thinking about how it will be perceived when it’s done- will people like it? Is it unique enough? Etc I want to start doing things on account of whether or not it makes me happy, or if I think it looks good That’s why I don’t plan on sharing my picture or name on this account. I like the idea that I can share ideas and thoughts and random things with no physical appearance or preconceived notion attatched All of this is very obvious- like yes I shouldn’t be doing these things for approval and that’s not what these apps were created for. Just something I struggle with and wanted to share

Jasmine season in new orleans

The vines are consuming fire hydrants and power lines and stop signs and every gust of wind is filling the air with a delicious magnificent jasmine scent and I feel delirious and reborn and glad to be alive !!! Take a walk, take a whiff :-)

Dessert Walks

This is something that I started doing last year and they are now fundamentally important to me. A dessert walk is an after dinner stroll you take ideally during sunset. You walk to a grocery store and buy a sweet treat or piece of fruit and a fun beverage. For me usually a peach and a kombucha. You walk for a bit as the sun sets and return when your treats are consumed. A delicious end to your evening that helps you digest.
