my 9-5 takes away most of my energy to create. i am lucky that this tiredness is mainly mental and not physical as well, but i yearn for the art i haven’t been able to make, i grieve for the non existent photos i didn’t have a clear mind to shoot better.
i grew up thinking once i get a stable corporate job then i would have made it in life, that i’d have no worry, that i’d be able to take care of me. i always suppressed my creative self, and now in my mid-twenties i can no longer pretend that i don’t exist to create.
If survival has become the loudest voice in your life, maybe it’s time to listen for the whisper of creativity again. Start by carving out 10 minutes today for something that lights you up, because creativity isn’t a luxury, it’s oxygen, it’s what makes us human.
