when you feel even the smallest spark of "i want to make something" or "i want to do something", do whatever it takes to hold onto that feeling, because it's so easy for your dreams to get swallowed up in the everyday struggle to survive

Whenever I feel like it’s pointless and I want to quit - I do one more task, then another, before I know it I’ve gotten through my depression and get a boost from productivity
Reminds me of when I was sick in the hospital back in 2020. I couldn't create anything in that condition, and I had so many ideas for my games. I just had to hold on to them until I recovered.
And it's funny cause I think it made me recover faster, even if it just started with writing stuff down.
I have described to someone that "holding on to the desire to do a single thing feels like blowing on the tiny embers of a flame when lost out in the woods. It is just desperately asking for it to work because you need it badly"
The voice of the Creative energy speaks to each of us. Most of us don’t hear it or choose to ignore it. One of my intentions for 2025 is to act on the whispers of my intuition more without hesitation.
god this is so fucking real and i am trying with my heart and soul to clutch onto that bolt of lightning that used to make me feel fucking invincible when i'd draw. tending to my artistic wounds that were/are being chewed up by the stress of life
i really feel you... saying it because i need to believe it myself! after years and years of feeling like my ideas aren't "good enough", im finally reaching a point where im bored of living like that... if YOU are excited about your ideas they are worthwhile!
That's a daily thing for seniors !! You're talking about me. I lay in bed every afternoon, the dream I had feels better than this one, as I lay there thinking of something scrumptious to cook. Only to get up & realize a baked potato is the way to go, my friend says I've got one foot in the grave...
I have ADHD. Moments like that are so rare and incredibly fleeting that if I don’t act on them in the very moment, I probably won’t feel that way again for months.
Very Well Said.
As a retiree, between the current state of Our Country & the boredom after working all of my life, I just want to go out & build the this Amazing Testament to God’s Grace. Nothing too elaborate, however I would like for it to be visible from Space.
Quicky search for inspiring videos, books, pictures, then let those fill and fuel you. It can be hard, I've been locked many times, even recently, but my will to see someones face as they see & buy my art is something that pushes me.
S: do it without spark.
Motivation is how you start, but a moderate amount of discipline is how you finish.
And imperfect is better than not at all. You can always redo later
This pic was before I had washed it and, I can’t take a good picture to save my life. My thought is creativity creates the good spaces in our minds, locks out the negative energy and gives us the energy to do the hard stuff. Do something, anything. You will be better for it.

A: To create. To create. To create. And, there is no “small” thing, no “imperfect” offering - it is all wonderful. Create, and bring it to our table.
Thank u for this
