I’m reminded of Bernard Suits’ definition of playing a game, which is also my favorite definition of art-making: “the voluntary attempt to overcome unnecessary obstacles.”
— Austin Kleon, Getting in and out of trouble

We were elsewhere
but somehow we stood two.
We were two but somehow
we were locking high opinions
of ourselves in the sky.
It was suddenly somewhere in the pines;
somewhere in the times
of pretending.
We were two; only repetitive;
it was only ever about the night
standing kind on top of a straight line,
fast forward; seeing a sign
of another day.
We didn’t jump to surviving -
we left those sometimes behind.
I was more about keeping the spotlight
on the very first thought of mine.
I was elsewhere alone
and it was fine.
Still I couldn’t stand the delay,
picturing the last piece
of the cold last sun…
Other people fell away
with their gloom beginning
far in the back;
never did I mind
but the clouds remained sound
with a dream of a little view
of never being the one going down.
POEM FROM LAST YEAR :)

Being a creative of any kind comes with an electric weirdness. You create something—art, writing, a musical piece—in a place of solitude rattling inside your skull. It’s just You and The Action of Creating and maybe a Muse leans over your shoulder, but it is just you three in a strange trinity of magic.
And then the work is done and…well…it needs friends, doesn’t it? And so you share it. And you wait to see what will happen to it. This thing born in an attic beneath the spinning stars, in a basement while arguments raged overhead, in the notes app on a phone while headphones silenced the voom of the mad world—this thing needs to Go Out and Be. And so you, the creator from these solitary spaces, must step out into the mad world and say, “Behold! I made this!”
And, god, isn’t that just a tension in the chest? A stiffening in the spine? A breath caught and held for a beat too long?
And then the thing goes and becomes something else for someone else and you go back to the solitude and scribble on.

something that the intimidating spirit of self-sabotage will always tell you is that it's not worth the pain of going through the process.
it's a sweet promise that you will be at peace if you just drop it. ''oh do you need a rest? i knew you wouldn't be able to keep up with your plan. you never will be able to, actually. this is not for you''
BS! you can rest. you can pause. you can have different areas of focus that change and you can be sure that the things that belong to you, like your creativity, will absolutely NOT disappear just because you had a bad day, week or even year.
shoot the fear in the face by listening to its words and not believing a single one of them.

Bonnie Raitt's career ended back in 1986.
And yet, somehow she's still making music, topping the charts and winning Grammys. There's a lesson for creative people here! My latest newsletter....

Probably gonna post this again with a digitized version, but wasn’t feeling up to it tonight. Been weirdly high and low of moods today. But just…this. I just needed to say this today.

I MUST DO IT THIS YEAR!!!
🤩💖🎨
Tumblr media
Yes, I need to try! If I miss a day or get behind, that shouldn’t convince me to quit. Just try my very best. Which ever day of the month I’m able to give some time to it, I’ll draw that day’s prompt. 🥰👍 Yay, sounds like a plan!!!

What’s up World This is “Ready In 5”.
What is that you may ask?
Here I’ll share my past and current experiences in the entertainment field.
I’ve been Freelance Modeling & Acting for 4 years and have picked up some cool feats along the way like: Casting Assisting, Film PA’ing and Styling.
But to keep all of my “things” afloat sometimes I sling drinks as a Barista, Delivery Driver and to stay sharp “Live Model” for Classes
(It’s giving mannequin)
Here you’ll take away some Saucy Secrets, Restless Day job Stories and Tips that has kept me afloat not only in the Model world but in life.
Anyone else in a constant state of limbo?
Anyone else on this journey of figuring it tf out, after you thought you did?
(I know every creative screamed after I said that)
I want to hear from you.
I quite literally have an audition to send in now so fingers crossed. Keep hustling.
Cheers X
For now…

Show me your art, your writing, your poetry, your songs,
and let me be wild and exuberant with my love,
and let you be wild and exuberant in your swelling pride,
and let us be moved and laugh,
and go make more…

I really need to stop shopping online 😂🙈 time to try out a new creative medium! Been fascinated with 3D printing for sometime and decided to take the plunge and pick up my own machine! Hoping to learn some new things and perhaps eventually print some things I can sell through my Etsy!
Let the fun begin 😃
