The Want to Create, but Never Having Enough Time.... (3.6.2024)

I want to do so many things in my life. 

I want to create music, Zines, blog posts, art, publish a book, make digital art and animations, comics, and not only that, but travel more into spaces where the scene is alive, like concerts and the city. Take photographs, make makeshift music videos, youtube videos even...

I also need to keep up with my daily makeup looks, style my current clothes, create ideas for looks and reuse what I already have to help with new ones. Create graphic design works, and a portfolio of my art to share with other artists. 


Spend time with my lovely friends, also have time for my family, work, and time for rest. 

Do 30 minutes of something every day.

And it is NEVER too late to start.

I deleted instagram the other day, and I find myself having some more time in the day...

Something to think about.

I feel myself starting to 'age out' lately... I see younger and younger people being "successful". It is a feeling I do NOT want to cave into, because all it does is hurt me in the end. But I couldnt help but to still feel a type of way.

It hit me hard when I saw one of my favorite bands live, Roman Candle, and they announced that the lead vocalist had JUST turned 24 that day.

I am 24....

It was a weird feeling seeing that someone was living the exact life I wanted to live, and they are just a smidge younger than me. Like, how did she start....

I try to remember people that are inspiring to me, like Lady Gaga. She worked her ASS off to get noticed by people for her work, until eventually she got exactly that. She spent so many nights performing in small bars until someone noticed her.

Meanwhile, I don't even have a proper released song yet. lul.

And she received so much backlash for who she was, so many people made fun of her.

But to me, she is so inspiring. 

She did everything I want to do.

I need to get to work.

30 minutes every day at least.

It's never too late to start.

My latest fixation on things to create lately are DIY patches of artists that I like, and I sew the designs onto a bag.

Plus, Kandi for raves.

But I still want to create inspiring content, like a Zine of music and fashion that I love, or edits of a lovely day.

I need to start.

You should, too.

take care i love you xoxo

Often the audience's attention is elsewhere. Considering how attention spans are diminishing in their evolution, the mountain of which to climb is hard indeed.

Yet, even if the masses' attention are elsewhere, one is an individual and their narrative is to be cherished as that. If that one life comes across this lighthouse of your work, then cherish that one life you have illuminated.

Have a beautiful grey day. /|㇏^•ᵥᵥ•^ノ|\

(To provide a bit of resources in your venture, BitView is an accessible video hosting site that calls back to an early YouTube. Bandcamp is another place that aids smaller singers and bands as well. However, for a full creative website builder, NeoCities stands as the best to tie all of these together.)
