Not my normal content, but this spoke to me this morning.
To all my poet and writer friends who are sitting at their desks this morning, head in their hands, wondering how they'll ever write something good - sitting is an important part of the process. You're doing it right, I promise. And don't let napowrimo or any other challenge make you feel like you can't take your time with your art.
In love and hate
I said I love with intent
I said it vaguely
With hopes that it was true
In hopes it would stay
But I’ve only ever truly
Loved once.
Once.
The love that burns your soul
The kind that makes you feel insane
The love that gets written about in novels and happy endings ...
But true love doesn’t always have a happy ending
Sometimes it’s bitter and painful
It leaves you with scars that won’t fade won’t heal
Memories you can’t seem to forget
Beautiful and ugly alike
And when someone becomes that a part of you
There never really gone
In the back of your mind they stay in this strange place of love and hate ,
It changes you towards every person who has a potential to actually love you ,
But your left broken you can’t fully give yourself away .
That love has already lived for another
To love in the same weight
Would be as comparing rocks to mountains ,
The cruelest fait to be in love and to be in hate !
To have lived loved lost.

It's time to explore your superpower.
Creative, you have a superpower and you probably don’t realize it.
That superpower? Doing it wrong to trigger your natural problem-solving self so you can do it right.

Your daily creative pep-talk
Why does Art Spiegelman’s MAUS matter so much?
For the same reason all human art does.
Pardon me, creatives. This video? Is a rant.
Your daily creative pep-talk
Maybe you did know better.
Maybe you chose not to do your best.
Shame and guilt won’t fix that. They’ll just make you feel bad.
Creative, it’s time to attach positive feelings to your work (yes, even if it’s tiny and terrible).
