been trying to make a conscious effort to direct my negative energy into art rather than doomscrolling or putting it out into the world in less meaningful and productive ways i don't always succeed but the thought is there
is my professor thrilled that i'm doing this for our "portrait" project? no. am i doing it anyway? absolutely. i've wanted to paint this for over a year, and better to start something rough today than sometime in the future.
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 surroundingsโ 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.
went out with my most beautiful friend sierra and she bought for it me. sierra i owe you one million free dj sets - its literally my perfect purse. the colors are everything, the size is PERFECT (holds my ddj 200 and my computer perfectly) and it enhances my outfits so much instead of my old purse that just fit in with everything. this purse only solidified my identity further and i feel so whimsical with it. had to add my keychains ofc
