Since I can remember I’ve always been obsessed with literature, escaping into different universes and I’ve always liked to draw, read and write. My favorite author is @aliceoseman and I love the Osemanverse in general. Her books have helped me so much in finding myself and they´ll always be my comfort books. I’m also very obsessed with the Harry Potter universe and my all-time favorite book series is the 'Empyrean' series, especially 'Iron Flame'. This series is hands down one of the best fantasy novels I've read so far and I love the concept of the bond between riders and dragons. This story is, so far, incredibly well thought-out and I can´t wait for the third book to be published in January. Rebecca Yarrows' universe really is a big inspiration for me. For almost five years now, I’ve been working on my own fantasy novel and the whole universe behind that.✒️📖

When it comes to books, my favorite genres are romance, coming-of-age, fantasy, and romantasy and I read books in English and German, which is my native language. I’ll try to read as often as I can, but since I’m still in school, I often lack the time. My biggest dream is to become an author one day but I still have a long way to go.💫

I thought about sharing book and writing related content for a while now and I finally decided to start this blog! From now on, I will try to take you with me every week and post about my favorite books, my current TBH my book progress and just general thoughts.🤍 I’m not entirely sure where this blog is going to lead me but I’m really hoping that you’re here to follow my journey through book stores, book reviews and outbursts of creativity✒️🤍📖

You are very welcome to follow my tumblr blog, and also take a look at my other socials for spontaneous updates about books or my life💫

Trying CPR on my creativity

II How school killed my creativity

Ever since I can remember I've always had a pen in my hand. Whether I was drawing a picture or writing a story, creating something out of my mind and bringing it to paper has always been my thing. I knew that, my family knew that - basically everyone knew that.🖊️

All of that changed when I started 11th grade. I drew less, I disliked my writing and I basically lost all my passion for art. Maybe in the end, I even lost myself lol.

Now that I have just finished my A-levels I finally have time to think about how I lost that spark of creativity and even more importantly, how I can get it back. Freeing my brain from formulas and useless historical dates I've had a lot of time to think about what ahppened over the last three years and I've come to the conclusion that school killed my creativity, my passion in almost any form and is one of the main reasons that I kind of lost myself.

There's no denying the fact that art-block sucks. Like, really, really sucks. And one of the main reasons for my art-block was my art-teacher in 11th grade. She really made sure that any creativity isn't allowed in her tasks. I had to stick to her plans strictly or I got a bad mark. That woman's view combined with my 16 year old mind that took any form of criticism way too personally led to me dropping the art course.

in 12th grade, I took creative writing and that really improved my view of literature though! I made awesome new friends and it also reassured me of my dream of becoming an author. My writing improved but my passion for drawing drifted away even further.

In 13th grade I had neither art class nor creative writing because my school wanted the students to focus on their A-levels so I barely did any form of art anymore. In December I tried starting this blog, but looking at the number of entries since then you can probably guess how that went.

Another big point for me was stress in general. With all the subjects and the work I had to do, there was no more room for a creative hobby. Also my mental health declined significally which didn't help with my art block either. I felt so tired all the time and when I tried to draw something or to work on my book I immediatly abandoned it because I didn't like the outcome.

For me it was like I used to drive down a certain road but one day it got closed and I didn't know any detour. Instead of searching for other ways to reach my dream destination I just stood there and waited and slowly forgot where my destination was anyway.

Now I have time again, and I had to think about my future a lot. I've been surrounded by creative minds that are all incredibly talented in their own areas. Compared to them I felt like I was completely talent-free and that made me even more sad. But besides the sadness there was something else. A little spark, a deep need to be like them. To work with my talents and passions to reach my goals. Because of that I started drawing again and it feels incredible!

In the past I was mostly copying work or just drawing fanart but in the last days my brain formed so many ideas for drawings, or my book. I think it's the combination of the free time and the inspiring friends that started this procress. I couldn't be happier about it!

All in all I am very glad that I can feel that spark coming back but thinking about how school almost completely destroyed it makes me so incredibly sad. How can it be that my passions don't get any support in a place that is supposed to form me as a human being? Do you have similar experiences with school? What did you do to get out of that block? Let me know!!

I am highly motivated to draw more again and finally work on my novel actively. Of course I am also very looking forward to finally blog regularly and finally fill this blog and my instagram with loads of content. Speaking of that, make sure to take a look and follow this blog, my Instagram page and my Threads! (My name is @glassbubblestuff on all platforms, so make sure to check them out!)

I really hope you liked this little brain dump! Let me know about your thoughts on this topic and I'll see you soon!

Love, Bubble🫧
