giving yourself permission to create without pressure. it doesn't always have to be good, it doesn't always have to be posted. it can simply just be made. pressure and fear ruins potential
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!
Tbh I think the best gift for a one year old is a gift for the parents with a note that says happy one year postpartum or whatever because that shit is tough
