create. always create. create with no audience in mind. no purpose. no profit motive. create for joy. create for catharsis. create for the process. create to leave something behind. create when inspiration doesn't come. create like failure doesn't exist. somehow creating makes everything in life feel worthwhile. because creating is living. and most people just consume.
Your purpose as an artist doesn't have to be profound.
Create because it brings you joy.
Create because you find beauty where others cannot.
Do it because it feels wrong not to.
Just create.
having mental breakdown alone without anyone knowing is hard. we're all hiding behind all smiles, pretending to be alright. we all have these silent battles we never talk or speak about, praying that we can win life again
