Creative Journey

For those that may not know, you will receive a fun email from me on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Now the question (as this is still in its developmental stages) is: What do I say to you on Saturdays? On some days there might be no Saturday post, and on others there could be gibberish. We'll play it by ear, lol. As for today, I thought I'd talk about creativity and the relationship I've been having with it.

The reason creativity is the topic is because that is my passion. I want to do everything that involves art or using my imagination. I have a ton of ideas and projects that I either want to start or have started. The problem with this, though, is that I get very overwhelmed with these ideas and want to shut down. Do you get like that at all? Not necessarily with creativity, but just something you're very passionate about. I feel like when you tell people this, they say "Well, do one thing at a time” or “Maybe dream a little smaller?”. If you're anything like me, you know that is not possible. You know that the fire inside of you pushing you to be something is too big. Either that or you have a great support system 😂.

For awhile, I have let those comments get to me. I have let them dictate what I post or how I feel about my passion. I mean, I still do to this day. That's not something you can just turn off. After some self-evaluation over the past couple of weeks, I realized that I have accomplished so much, and I know that me from even a year ago would be so proud. And I know that the past, you would be proud of yourself too.

I gave this long and probably unnecessary story to say: Don't give up on your passion. Don't let them kill your fire. If you can, try to look back a few years and see all of the things you have done so far. No matter how big or small they are, you still did it. And you can continue to do it. At the end of the day, at least do it for yourself.

If you have any journey stories, you can leave a comment! I'd love to read them. If you want to give some advice that will be shown every Thursday, you can fill out the form below (it is anonymous). Remember to take a deep breath, stay hydrated, and I will see you guys on Tuesday. Thank you for reading!
