i spend a lot of time in my own world using pinterest and are.na to mentally construct a private space with everything that is important to me. the way i see it, creativity is tied to the sense of self, so if that is nurtured, creativity will come natural

I love creating with my thoughts and then translating those thoughts into my life. I think about creating art with any resource, with words, with drawing, with self expression.

1. inspiration: travel, meet new people, read books, watch movies/series, take chances (=experience new things!)β this will help you find new inspiration which in turn will make you want to createβοΈβ€οΈβπ©Ήπ

3. experimentation: once you've done it enough times (creating) you'll have built enough confidence to experiment and try new techniques and styles β when said experimentation goes well your confidence will slowly growπ·πππͺ·π»πΉ

a lot of hobbies pushed to us are surrounded by consumption. we watch shows, movies. consume albums, buy clothes and items, etc. not that there's anything inherently wrong with consuming, but consumption without creation breeds dullness.
we all have creativity within us. it gets beaten out when there are expections to commoditize your creativity. you feel the need to be the best, to be perfect in the first shot at something.
creation without the expectation of consumption is how we push back. i write poetry, even if it sucks. i drew a pig going to bed in a room full of disproportinately sized furniture because i felt like it. i'm looking to start dancing again.
the world has so much that's yet to be made, and we're blessed with the ability to contribute to that body of art.
