taking on being a "creative"

recently got a membership at the cedars union (an arts incubator), after passing the pentest + & working on a couple classes for my graduate degree i decided to start pushing forward the things i really want to do. art.

it isnt without its challenges, i’ve recently found myself feeling burnt out at work in some areas. i feel i want to challenge myself to learn new things now and be a sponge again. maybe i just became complacent and forgot what it is like to be hungry for something.

being a creative is something i have always felt connected to and quite “okay” at. now i want to take it more seriously while understanding i won’t be everyones cup of tea or that i am not the best of the best, i see this as getting my footing again after being on a “creative hiatus”.

i won’t be self defeating about it either, i just want to take a humble approach, observe, and be a sponge as i like to say since all of this is very exciting. i know i’ll be successful in whatever it is i do with this endeavor so ill quote these lyrics from my favorite song:

“so baby love me, before they all love me until you won’t love me..because they’ll all love me.”

“ill be different, i think i’ll be different. i hope im not different and i hope you’ll still listen. but until then baby i got you”
