You’re always writing the things I need to hear! I was struggling with this this week, working on something I imagined would be fun and instead felt hard, and the hardest part was being upset that it didn’t feel as fun as I expected 😅
Thanks Melissa! I remember we talked about this during our interview chat too. So much blockage comes from the expectation we have in our head! It looks fun and it used to easily feel fun but now it's not so fun and we can be so hard on ourselves about that 🥲
Relating the creative process to labor/delivery is such a helpful image for me! Thanks for sharing.
I'm so glad you were able to resonate with it as a mama!!
I love this - a good reminder! I think flow state only exists because the rest of the time the creative process is so grueling and messy and ugly.
That's such a good way of looking at it! Makes all the pain momentarily worth it 😅

needed this reminder this week <3
Glad it resonated with you ❤️ I need to remind myself frequently!
I love knowing the issue came from all your NYC park sketching. No wonder it rings so true!
