is what our executive creative director said in a meeting but as a jaded designer suffering from creative burnout, i avoid hobbies that might require any design program. have i ever considered switching careers? yeah, everyday.... it's kind of painful to see myself actually be this way when i used to make time for passion projects outside of work. i did journal for a bit but now i find joy in sports/being active and spending more time with friends & family.

having a creative job is so fun. I feel really lucky that I get to do what I enjoy as a livelihood. it just sucks when it's time to clock out and I don't feel satisfied creatively bc I was making art for a company ( I <3 capitalism!!!!) instead of for myself, but I feel too burnt out to do anything creative after. so sad.

i've been feeling so creatively blocked lately and throughout my internship i was so tired. i hated anything that's got to do with design and i wanted to quit so bad. turns out i just need a break.

i have a kind of corporate graphic design job and i haven’t really done a project 4 myself since i graduated so i decided to have a little creativity session w one of my best friends (who is also a graphic designer) and we built a concept for a project we are really excited about 😛 safe to say sometimes we’ve gotta sacrifice our free time of doing nothing to start chasing the things we want out in the world.

there is something so deeply intimate about knowing a person’s penmanship. you could know someone for years even but not know what their handwriting looks like. i had a coworker (turned friend) at my old job tell me how when she misses me she looks at the post-it with the passwords i had written for my work accounts. (sharing mine here bc in my head i’m friends with everyone who comes across this post. pi.fyi community has gotten me through some tough times last year and i love learning new things through people’s recs here!!)

best believe the chismosa in me was #activated and it’s always fun to see someone else’s reactions to what they’re watching

it still baffles me that there are people out there who heavily rely on chatgpt, maybe even have fully replaced google, to make the decisions for them. idk which is worse using chatgpt or tiktok as a search engine bc what the actual fuck ?? 😭
