I could force them, but sometimes I choose not to.
Sometimes, Icannotwrite, no matter how desperately I want to.
So thats what Im writing about.
Lisa Fotios
When youre afraid your creativity has been stolen from you, hey remember this.
Sleep when youre dead.
We are human beings.
Its okay to give yourself that time; that space.
You have permission to take a break if thats what your heart is telling you to do.
Writing is a practice
Every time you write something, youll get a little better at it.
The words will appear, and gently flow faster.
If you take a day off, youll stand still.
If you take a few days or weeks off, you might take a few steps backward.
This is just the way it is.
The way it has always been, and always will be.
Be accepting of this.
Buckle up for a bumpy ride.
The more we avoid, the more anxious and afraid we become.
So if youre afraid right now, I want you to know thats okay.
Step into your courage today, and face your fears.
Because if you dont, theyll have grown by tomorrow.
And fear should never hold you back from what you love.
You might do the same thing tomorrow, and be met by more nothingness.
Patience is the reminder you need in this moment.
If inspiration has dried up, why not write about that.
See where this takes you.
And what they write is alwaysreallygood.
Meanwhile, you are struggling to string one sentence together.
But remember, you are not them.
You are not on their journey.
Art is not a competition.
It is a unique journey that we all take.
And this is what makes it beautiful to those around us.
Your gift lives inside of you.
It always has, and it always will.
No one can take it from you.
You might be struggling to find it today, but trust me, it is there.
Creativity is infinite
Maybe youre worried youve used up all of your great ideas?
Those ideas come from source.
Everything in our world is born from source.
And source is everything.
Immerse yourself in nature.
This is how youll get your spark back.
And know that you could always re-ignite your flame within.
Today is a new chance.
Today could be the beginning of your next chapter.
All you have to do is loop back and try.
There is no shame in taking a break, or failing, and starting over.
This is how we grow.
This world needs your Art
You might wonder, whats the point?
Why you should I bother?
Because this is not your concern.
Your only duty is to make your art.
The rest, is out of your hands.
How people respond to your art, is out of your control.
And if you create art from your soul, trust me, it will matter.
It will matter to that one person whos afraid to share their own art.
It will matter to the person who deeply resonates with your story.
It will matter to the lives you touch, and the lives you change.
This worldneedsyour art in it.
