Currently at work while reading this , but totally relatable, and I’m excited to see what you come with when embracing your wilderness!
Something I’ve been struggling with between transitioning of searching for a job and working is how to bring back a space for creativity (aka embracing the wilderness), after detoxing from getting a creative degree and trying to figure out my place in the world.
Thanks for sharing, Jas 💗 something I like to think about when getting back into creating is what would be the easiest, simplest, activity with the least resistance…and then making something small without thinking about what it could turn into or what it “should” be :)
I like this idea. Something small with the least resistance and not overthinking it on what it “should” be. This will definitely help as I continue to document my ideas for projects and find ways to simplify them and/or break them down into smaller action items. Thanks for sharing :) <3
I’ve done a lot of cool stuff in my life, but one of my proudest moments is so unspectacular. I was on the beach practicing guitar and a guy came up with his girlfriend and asked if he could take a picture with my guitar.
I had been a people pleaser for most of my life, a way to avoid conflict in school with all the asshats I grew up with. I would usually say “ok” and in my head think “idiot”, but that say I decided to say no, and I gave him the biggest most sincere smile. He asked me again and I said no again and just kept smiling. No resentment, no need to look down on him, no frustration or bitterness, not a care in the world, just a firm clear rejection.
That was when I finally started to understand the meaning of self-love. It turned out to be a lot of other things too but that was a true turning point in my life.
