create something (even if it sucks)

create something (even if it sucks)

i love this centerfold from rin dawson AKA paperedthought's zine, ✨MAKE BAD ART✨ which says, “CREATE SOMETHING EVEN IF IT SUCKS.”

i've been working on creating something everyday: starting the thing; letting go of expectations + attachments; staying open; being curious; following my desires & intuition; & to KEEP GOING ⚡️

BECAUSE THE WORLD NEEDS MY ART & THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR ART TOO, SWEET BABE 💕

perfectionism prevents sooo many of us from even STARTING to create (@inspiredtowrite has a great book on this that i LOVE & absolutely recommend, "for the perfectionist," fellow recovering perfectionists take note 💖) so please, start - & be as gentle & compassionate as you can with yourself as you create 💞

i want to encourage you to:

CREATE MESSILY 🌸 CREATE OFTEN 🌸 CREATE IMPERFECTLY 🌸 CREATE WITHOUT EXPECTATIONS OR ATTACHMENTS TO OUTCOME 🌸 CREATE THE ART YOU NEED OR NEEDED (I PROMISE SOMEONE ELSE NEEDS IT TOO 🌸 CREATE FOR PLEASURE 🌸 CREATE JUST BECAUSE 🌸 CREATE BAD ART 🌸
