“A post for the creatives who just need to hide away. It is safe to hide away for a while darling. Momentum won’t leave. You will make momentum. You won’t lose opportunities, you will make them. Because in the quiet you will find more and more art. In the silence ideas will be heard. Be brave enough to sneak away and leave us all desperate for more.” - Amie ( @inspiredtowrite ) post via @filmmkrs

In times of creative block, we often seek inspiration elsewhere, yet we might overlook the value of revisiting our own past work. Reflecting on our previous artworks, designs, or writings can evoke a spectrum of emotions. Such reflection helps us recognize our personal evolution and growth. Our own creations hold the power to reconnect us with forgotten influences, reignite past passions that once fueled our creativity, or simply inspire us to persist in our creative journey. In an era where we are constantly inundated with others’ accomplishments, exploring our own work can be one of the most genuine sources of inspiration. It leads to originality through authenticity, rather than falling into the traps of imitation, envy, or copying others’ creations. So, if you find yourself in a slump today, consider taking some time to delve into your past projects.
