i spend a lot of time in my own world using pinterest and are.na to mentally construct a private space with everything that is important to me. the way i see it, creativity is tied to the sense of self, so if that is nurtured, creativity will come natural

I love creating with my thoughts and then translating those thoughts into my life. I think about creating art with any resource, with words, with drawing, with self expression.

1. inspiration: travel, meet new people, read books, watch movies/series, take chances (=experience new things!)→ this will help you find new inspiration which in turn will make you want to create✈️❤️🩹🌅🚞💏
2. creation: with your new inspiration you can now create!🎞️🎧🖼️🌷it is important to keep on creating (even on days when you know nothing good will come out of it) → doing your craft often will make you more comfortable with your craft and build your confidence
3. experimentation: once you've done it enough times (creating) you'll have built enough confidence to experiment and try new techniques and styles → when said experimentation goes well your confidence will slowly grow🌷🐌💐🪷🌻🌹
4. collaboration: meet others and create together! collective creative work is so fulfilling and great for building confidence and skill 💂🏾🧑🏼💼👨🏿⚖️🧝🏿♀️👨🏼💼👩🏼🎤
this is my take on building creative confidence:) i hope this helps🌹

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
