Draw badly. Write nonsensically. Embroider messily. Burn what you bake and cook. Get paint everywhere. Read half a book. Lose your mind for a bit. Plant things. Have faith in the process. Abandon 70 wood-carving projects. Get a kit and do some of it and never return to it. Get comfortable with sucking and losing motivation. Continue to create with reckless abandon.

Honestly it boils down to reparenting yourself & rewiring your own neuronal pathways & telling yourself a firm “stop” when you notice your mind slipping down negative loopholes & being present in the moment & enjoying being mid task rather than waiting for it to end & not thinking of inertia as your baseline and natural way of living

I loathe feeling so terribly conflicted — this push and pull between loving something so much that I want the whole world to know about it and give it the adoration it deserves, and the pang of jealousy that arises when others express their affection for it. This oscillation between these two conflicting states, this tug-of-war throws my heart out of sync, and the effect is deeply unsettling.
