Stars burn, asteroids collide,
The earth flies through the void, and something in the darkness sighs.
At this moment Ani writes again.
Well, I’m back at it, I finally want to write again
I don’t really feel bad for taking a break from writing I just needed time to get my life stabilized
And stabilized it has I finally have a new job and am getting into some routines. This means I now have the creative energy to work on my blog again.
I feel like I’ve really changed over this past year and wanted to take a different perspective on my writing so now I’m just going to be more casual and probably not stress about keeping to a schedule for this site. This is after all for fun why else would I spend energy throwing my thoughts out into the void that is the world wide web. That said let me get into the meat of this topic which is about the link between stability and creativity.
It is in my opinion that everyone has a craft, whether that be a trade, a skill, or a hobby. People just tend to gravitate to things they like and in the right circumstances will develop their engagement with that thing. Whether that be an illustrator, speaker, electrician, or sitting in a chair and staring at a screen for money and profit.
The problem is that life kind of gets in the way of what you want to do. You end up having to spend your mental capacity focused on what you need to do and not what you want to do. This is on top of how stressed or how much energy you spend on dealing with whatever health, social, or economic difficulties hinder your everyday life. But with that said when life starts to slow down you can like get more creative.
So, I guess this post is more for me than anyone else, but like don’t beat yourself up if you’re not creative or have the energy to do the things you want to do. Because like you know life happens.
Anyway, be kind to yourself and others,
Love,
Ani
