i don't care what it is, everyone has their own, but i think everyone needs one. i would feel empty if i didn't have my dumb little niche to fill with all my dumb little stories

my pen and paper, my paintbrush and canvas, my journal, my poems, my performances... without it all i would be an actual husk of a man. if i ever stop creating, genuinely just shoot me dead cuz i promise it AIN'T me (×_×)

And so many other side-quest interests I haven't scratched the surface of... The nice thing about it is being able to go where the inspiration strikes and having something else to rely on when you feel stuck or discouraged about one of the other things. If I had any advice, it would be: Don't put yourself in a box for the sake of 'marketability' or your 'brand' unless your livelihood depends on it. I do kind of compartmentalize my different artistic outputs into different sites/accounts, but it's just to make it easier for people to take in. I also try to set up some guardrails to focus on one of the things at a time (days, weeks, months, depending on what I'm trying to accomplish.) Just try not to let external forces take away your curiosity, wonder, and whimsy!

a lot of hobbies pushed to us are surrounded by consumption. we watch shows, movies. consume albums, buy clothes and items, etc. not that there's anything inherently wrong with consuming, but consumption without creation breeds dullness.
we all have creativity within us. it gets beaten out when there are expections to commoditize your creativity. you feel the need to be the best, to be perfect in the first shot at something.
creation without the expectation of consumption is how we push back. i write poetry, even if it sucks. i drew a pig going to bed in a room full of disproportinately sized furniture because i felt like it. i'm looking to start dancing again.
the world has so much that's yet to be made, and we're blessed with the ability to contribute to that body of art.

saw a bus stop today that looked super nice, the benches were covered by brick and had a lot of beautiful flowers on top. it's always pleasant to see sometimes attention getting put on the simple things everyone usually overlooks
