Everyone romanticizes being an artist.
Until it’s 4am, you’re broke, and still painting because your soul doesn’t have an off switch.

Tomorrow I turn 41.
It's 20 years of doing things, building, failing, trying again.
I have been doubting my creativity SO many times in life. Being stuck, needing a helpful hand.
So, as my birthday gift to you - I made this little something. To raise YOU up.
HERE :) 👇

Stand proudly where you stand - this is your place in the world.
Think, breathe, create, love from that place. Cause no one else is standing where you are.

David Lynch said: “For a feature film you need 70 ideas. You put these on the cards, and you have the film.”
I wonder: Can we approach all our creative tasks so systematically?
For a short story, let’s say 3 ideas? You can come up with these, no question abt that, right?
Done -> to the next one🦋

Creativity belongs to everyone, in every field. You stop dividing creativity into art and science, business or play.
It simply emerges wherever you pay quiet attention.

A few years ago, I was burned out, chasing an art career that didn’t fulfill me. If I could tell my younger self anything, it would be this: Create what feels right, not what you think others expect. Trust your own path and it will lead to something more fulfilling. What would you tell yours?

Creativity means seeing what others overlook. Quiet observation unlocks originality.
Today, spend five minutes closely observing something familiar: notice one detail you’ve never appreciated before.
