I wish I knew for sure, but making anything helps with the static of not knowing who you are or what you’re doing. a peach pie from scratch. An impromptu jam session with aby instrument, even if it’s just your voice. A quick sketch outside. A photograph. A little stupid air clay sculpture. just make things, that’s why we’re here.

Grab some paper or cardboard use whatever you have and just make something. Draw, collage, sculpture, video, whatever. Don’t take it too seriously. See how you feel afterwards.

be creative in your art form of choice. sew a quilt. make a chocolate marble cake. play drums on someone else's song. write a poem. draw a flower. all very life affirming stuff

Pull a joni mitchell and engage in arts that differ from your primary to inform it at a later time.
If you lean more toward visual arts try poetry, song writing, music making, acting/performances for the self, crochet, clay, claymation, videography, sound collection, whistling, discovering new sounds you can make etc.
Often when i want to create but i feel tired or uninspired i try to use still life or my surroundings— BUT If thats boring i ask myself a question and let my train of thought ramble -> connecting that rambling to my pen on paper
Honestly setting your inner critic to rest and creating things that are imperfect is actually incredible!
More often than not letting first drafts be final for a moment allows you to discover what you crave to create.

I was a major Starkid fan back in the day, and when video call lessons were affordable, I took one from Jeff Blim, one of the songwriters and actors of the company. To me, Jeff was exactly the mixture of chaotic and talented that I wanted to be. outside of his characters though, he’s actually a really chill teacher. The most important thing I took from that was how to be a character no matter my personal emotional state, which I still use today.
I guess sometimes we forget the people we idolize are also just people, and sometimes that sucks, and other times that changes the course of your life. This was one of the life changing times.

someone put the vhs in for me at age five and it got stuck in my memory for life. scout finch was a character i heavily related to, and I got so lost in the story that I easily could play the movie in my head when I was younger. Also the plot, the music, the vibe of childhood, the twists— amazing. couldn’t ask for a better Peck film.
