consumption vs. uncontainability

Sometimes when my Demon of Perfectionism is making me fret about how woolly my words are or how far away my “perfect” final product seems to be, I utter this mantra: “All I can do is my best with the resources that I’ve been given.”

You’ve never fully seen yourself in “proper” references.

So you’re good at making things for people who live between categories too.

• Work that feels like an art, not just more content in the feed sea

• Output that doesn’t read as another Canva template.

That’s differentiation. It’s also relief—for you and for the people who find it.

Ideas are expansive, elastic things, and many are big enough that they’ll seek multiple outlets.

Suffering reduces. Negativity is the enemy of creativity. It’s common sense. If someone is depressed, they say they don’t even feel like getting out of bed, let alone working. If you’re sad, or if you’re filled with bitter anger, that occupies the mind. Maybe you do angry paintings, so what? You can do angry paintings but be happy in the doing.
