ugh, what do you mean ‘mindset follows action’ and not vice versa and that i’ll be waiting and languishing and stagnating forever if i continue to insist that i have to wait until that undefined something in my head finally clicks before committing to the things i want to do and being the person i want to be?

#i’ve had this realization before #that i have this expectation that i’m supposed to wake up one day feeling like an adult/a writer/artist #and *then* i’ll finally be capable! when it clicks!!!#what is it? i don’t know!#and i keep in a loop asking for advice hoping that i’ll get the right words that force the thing to finally click #ever forgetting that….thats not how it works #everything is a practice and constant work #there was this video with the dude behind lcd soundsystem that kinda touches on something like this i probably should check out again #maybe single ideas or concepts finally click. but after practice and all that #but the feeling of being someone/something….that’s…practice…#and it’s continuous and never-ending practice and maybe the feeling of ‘being xyz thing’ never actually comes #but the lack of feeling doesn’t negate practical reality right?#that’s why all the usual advice kind of boils down to ‘just do the thing’ but from different angles #as fucking aggravating as that can be lmao #what do you mean there’s no button i can press? i have to do and do consistently?#and just push through the feelings of inadequacy???#ugh. fiiiiiiine…..#to the void with love #to keep in mind
