Current Creative Status
I have been on a small kick for writing creatively. Part of me doesn’t know where it comes from, but another knows exactly why. I have been carrying a notebook with me. It gives me the opportunity to write whatever I’ve been thinking as I go on long walks. It’s been quite nice actually.
One thing that’s been helping me, is I’ve been reading others blogs and consuming not just “short-form” stuff. To force myself to watch a 20-30 minute video that is semi-educational is better than 40 half-minute videos that don’t offer anything. That’s not to say I don’t fall into the trap once in a while, but I have been doing better. I’ve also been second-hand buying seasons of shows. Instead of seeing the infinite calling of Netflix or Prime, I’m stuck with a few shows and that’s it. I just recently picked up all of Breaking Bad and I’ve never watched it so I’m excited.
Something else that I feel has been helping me is my small interest in photography. Since a few months ago, I’ve been snapping pictures (with my current phone which has a really good camera) whenever I feel the inspiration. I’ve thought of posting some of the photos here, but I’m not sure. When I see how people are able to geolocate people based on certain deciduous trees and star alignments, it kinda gets me a bit nervous.
This is a place where I can put my poems, write the true feelings I’ve been having, and I don’t want people from my life finding out because of a certain photo giving the right information to the right user to track me down. It sounds crazy cause it’s not like I’m a big name in the creative field, but I can’t count it’ll never happen.
I’ve learnt through mistakes that even if I don’t care now, that doesn’t mean I won’t care in the future. So, for now I’m not going to be posting photos. But that may not be forever. I’ll think about it.
P.S: I’ve honestly been having a lot of fun writing new poetry. I’ve been writing like one a week. Which is faster than when I first started. I believe a reason for this, is I now know I can write whatever feels right. Instead of making sure it looks perfect or “poetry” enough. Also a side note that some of the poetry I’ve been posting are old poems I wanted to gather in one place instead of going through various documents or notebooks
