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 (×_×)

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

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.

Pull a joni mitchell and engage in arts that differ from your primary to inform it at a later time.
If you lean more toward visual arts try poetry, song writing, music making, acting/performances for the self, crochet, clay, claymation, videography, sound collection, whistling, discovering new sounds you can make etc.
Often when i want to create but i feel tired or uninspired i try to use still life or my surroundings— BUT If thats boring i ask myself a question and let my train of thought ramble -> connecting that rambling to my pen on paper
Honestly setting your inner critic to rest and creating things that are imperfect is actually incredible!
More often than not letting first drafts be final for a moment allows you to discover what you crave to create.

for years, i'd been terrified of the future, and I NEVER wanted to think about what i'd do with my life. it was overwhelming to think about where i wanted to end up while I hated the place that I was in. (◞‸◟,) but, over these past 2 years and ESPECIALLY over these past few months, I think i've finally found what I wanna do for the rest of my life, and with that, I think i've finally found myself. i'm taking real steps towards my dreams, and they don't feel so out of reach anymore. it's a big accomplishment to me that i'm very proud of. don't give up yall, u'll find ur place

recently, every time I've been eating salad, I've totally rawdogged the whole experience cuz I ran out of my fav (and only) salad dressing and I can't be bothered to get more. eating straight leaf is not that yummy.. but I kinda feel like a cute little mouse every time I do it. It makes me wonder if we should all be more open-minded people and consider this: maybe those crazy men on Instagram who eat raw, rotting meat only do it cause they wanna feel like a cute little mouse too. maybe we're all the same ( ˘ ᵕ˘(˘ᵕ ˘ )
