awhile back i started this thing where i tell myself that’s it’s okay to just start drawing or painting or whatever i’m doing just so that i could engage myself in a hobby i stopped doing. throughout my life i have had this strong aversion to doing anything without knowing exactly what i’m doing and striving for perfection. so i drew only when i felt committed to dedicating all my efforts to producing something that had the appearance of having taken some kind of skill. and then when i decided that perfectionism was ruining me, i just kinda stopped doing things. so in trying to reintegrate some of my old hobbies, i decided that it was okay not to be perfect. so i’ve just been drawing whatever jumps into my brain or whatever my hand feels like expressing. and i am learning that i can still find enjoyment in doing something while not being perfect or feeling the need to be the best at everything. scribbling on a piece of paper is still energy creation. just start and then maybe some days you’ll be inspired and put forth your best effort but with ease because you had a vision and were determined to execute it. so these are my nonsense works of art. ~
