hey this thread is such a big fucking mood Also, its okay to get tired of art?? Youre not a failure if you dont get to draw or make something everyday. Like forcing yourself to make something when you really dont want to isnt going to make you feel any better. Sometimes taking a break is all you need to feel ok again.

the art world is honestly so pressuring and stressful with how we deal with taking breaks, we view them as something bad and instead we force ourselves to work twice as hard instead of resting. I worked at an agency and we were forced to get creative every single day. When we would feel a slump at work we would literally be given a small time to browse the web to look for inspirations like itll instantly bring back the passion that i lost from forcing myself to create shit that i hated. Yeah i understood that it was needed because were literally getting payed to do it but it doesnt mean that i like it. In my one year there i slowly felt my creativity slipping away so bad that i could barely draw anymore. Come to think of it i dont even draw anymore.

let people get tired of art, let them fall out of love with it, let them find something else to love without feeling like a failure. i used to beat myself up because i would see people i went to art school with get better, i see them working in new york, teaching seminars and winning awards while im here debating whether i should pick up my pencil or throw it away for good. but once i realized that its ok, i stopped beating myself up and just did what i want in my own pace and ive felt so much better.
