Time doesn't feel like it's mine half the time

I travel for work and the time I'm away isn't mine, it's company time

And the time I do have for myself is rest catching up on lost time/time away

It feels kind of like living half a life?

One parts home and one parts travelling

I'll find balance in it I think at some point

I shouldn't wait too long on that tbh

if yall ever want like serious advice from me about how to solve burnout as a creative it's like...

literally ignore it. stop pushing. go do something else, enjoy your life, fill it with other things, do what brings you joy in the moment if you can.

go to the gym, take a walk to touch grass and look at dogs and smell flowers, cook dinner, watch tv with your friends, talk about your feelings as needed with ppl you trust, take a drive and blast your music, do the chores you need to do, the job hunting slog you need to do, read books that aren't for research, stop cordoning off your brain for The Craft or The Draft or whatever the fuck

forget about the project, stop thinking about it for as long as it takes to be excited again.

fuckin rest, basically

reiterating this--

stop pushing. stop blaming yourself for not working on creative stuff enough, stop tormenting yourself. remove all pressure and expectation. it'll be done whenever, you'll work on it whenever. who the fuck knows when that is, but it'll happen when it's ready.

stop doing shit that feels bad. do stuff that makes you happy and relaxed.

at a certain level of spoon usage from job, chores, errands, socialization and basic maintenance there will just Not Be Anything Left for your projects for awhile.

you have to let it build back up and then take your time getting back into it organically as it comes.

hope this helps someone else, bc I have learned it the hard-headed stubborn-ass fish-thrashing-in-a-net way and it's been agonizing.

I WANT TO DRAW

But also why my drawings just draw themselves 😭

That's selfish

I'm going to draw

I want to be a beaming ball of energy busting pass the speed of light and breaking all rules of sense and logic to do all the things I want to do

But I can't, bc ima birb

and thus must be okay with not being able to do everything bc to do everything would be quite frankly tiring and I myself like to nap and could honestly go for a snack right now

sometimes im just sitting at my computer dinking around then ill come across a post of a man fashioning a trees branches to hug back when they release the mechanism and for some reason it is moments like these that trigger the whole "what is life/death/where do we go when we return to the ebb and flow of the universe"

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
