I needed this today. 💙

Since going through something traumatic about a month ago, tending to my creative practice has felt even more necessary as a means of healing. but a lot of the resistance has been from this weird pressure to make especially good art right now--it's like, "if this bad thing happened, then I had least need to get some good art out it" which is obviously ridiculous and very silly. maybe it's a way for me to try feeling more in control, even knowing the horrible conditions that pressure creates.

It's a slow process, but i'm slowly falling more and more in love with the practice itself and less with the end result. Loosening my grip on my creativity and trusting that i'll go where it needs to go. I can guide it without trying to control it completely.
