create without the thought it is “for” something. let the project be whatever it wants to be, and recognize you are bringing it to fruition because something vital within you is actualized in doing so. when you create independent of outcome, the sense of pressure dissipates and there’s more room for originality and enjoyment.

Yeah sometimes I only do things because I think my friends or other people will like it or congratulate me and I need to stop that because it is just selfish to them and myself

objectively objectivity doesn't exist so don't get caught up trying to make anything that's good, just keep making and eventually it will become a lot easier to create freely without pressure

I tend to be really hard on myself when it comes to creative projects, but lately I've been trying to relax and enjoy it more, and I think it shows in the work. I feel more daring, more invested, more inspired. I find it's a lot easier to spark new ideas when you aren't wasting mental energy fixating on whether something is good but instead focused on having fun. People are intuitive. They can pick up what you're putting down.

not a “what i did today” journal but notes of what you see feel and consider as you go through your life. look out for striking images, juxtapositions. if you half see or hear something absurd, roll with it rather than correcting yourself. after a few days / when you have a good amount of material, arrange according to theme, meter, and once more, juxtaposition rather than narrative. might be cool
