I wouldn't be suprised that you can pick up on my thoughts as you write your posts, haha. I pivoted my world around mid-twenties and followed my dreams to be a creative, first focused on writing, but it didn't take long before my illustrations wanted to take center stage, haha. While this pivot was the start to embrace my curiousity again, it also was a healing journey back to self. And one of the biggest lessons so far is that any creative endeavor can become chore if you are too focused on the outside world and you don't allow yourself to stay curious. It's why I burned out in recent years.
I just turned 39 and ever since this celebration, I've been feeling a whirlwind of emotions. Some days it swirls with excitement and curiousity, other days, I feel the anger and sadness for all the years I let the outside world influence my thoughts and actions in an unaligned way. But I'm glad to say that, more often than not, this anger fuels me to embrace my passions even more. I stumbled upon that same quote by Carl Jung yesterday as I was collecting quotes for a little project I'm working on and it's just perfect! 🥰 Thank you once again for this wonderful peek into your mind ❤
Thank you so much for sharing! It always feels so good when I read comments like these. I don't feel alone, and it reassures me when I think, "Am I too sensitive? Am I overthinking things?" Clearly, I'm not alone in these feelings.
“healing journey back to self” made my heart pound—it truly resonates with me. I had my second exhibition with my artist collective last week, and it went amazingly well! I can't believe how far I've come on my journey. I'm not just talking about the success; I'm referring to how much I’ve embraced and healed aspects of myself, allowing me to proudly share my art with the world. I'm still buzzing from the experience!
I do agree that creative work can also become a source of stress if we become too attached to it in an unhealthy way. I felt some of that this year with my writing. Luckily, I have an amazing therapist who helps me reflect on and gain awareness of these things. Thank you so much for your support! Huggg 🫶🏼
