A potter for 20 yrs, I could never imagine not being one, or understand how people could just stop yet here I am doing bad 2d work. I needed to see this. I am not alone.Easy to put down drawing, painting, etc. Clay is ever more demanding of daily connection.
Lovely interview. We are planning to move this year and I am thinking of selling my book binding materials. I needed this insight to help my mixed emotions
I really enjoy hearing messages of impermanence, especially when it comes to creativity or creative minds.
With everything feeling so "documented" in life these days, I often feel as though I need to prove these creative labels I've given myself *cough-or-others-have-given-me-cough*.
Reminders like "stopping for now", "this doesn't serve me now", "this has been a great project for now", are gold to me! It helps me with gratitude, being present, not fearing endings...or beginnings.
I am considering closing my soap and candle shop. It feels
More draining than rewarding. I feels like we are having a conversation of divorcing… but it is slow and contemplative 🤔 not knowing if we should split but stay together because it feels
“Ultimately, the decision to step away felt like a surrender, an acknowledgment that sometimes we must release what we love in order to reclaim our own sense of enoughness.” Yes, yes yes. Really enjoyed reading this. I think many of us creatives get stuck in a lane and question whether we can create something new, ironic enough. This whole process of letting go and being open to the unknown is beautiful.

I had a feeling at least one person needed to see this – you are definitely not alone, ah 💓

Familiar.
I can imagine, Angie — what a great analogy 💓
