if you’re ever in dtla try Birdie’s (chicken and donuts). hit it up early in the morning… it’s fresh! i’d go toe to toe with a toddler over their chicken sandwich, you gotta try it

I’ve been dealing with a creative rut for a while as well. It’s easy to get stuck in a process of trying to put out work at a feverish pace, but that speed makes it difficult to catch the creative ideas that come along. i believe there’s a creative frequency with ideas on it we can all tap into, when you move too fast you can’t catch them and they turn into what i call “creative flybys”. it’s easy to feel like you’re stuck, but i encourage you to explore other interests, creative or not, and also to download the pdf of “the creative act” by Rick Rubin, it’s a book that’s really helped me. wishing you love in your journey tho. it’s tough but keep going, when you get out of this rut, what you come out with will be beyond your imagination
as someone who struggles to tell if the feelings they feel for others are reciprocated, it would be nice to know for sure i was cared about. making it easier to unashamedly care in return
