I heard the song "Stars" by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals while I was studying for an exam that I have, ahem, tomorrow, and I was inspired. I don't mean to sound pretentious - I am not often struck by inspiration, as it were. And the art work isn't necessarily that technically good, so I'm not really boasting; probably no one would hang it on their wall.
I don't care.
I don't care because it feels GOOD to have an idea and then be able to represent it visually on paper. It is cool that a song can speak to you in such away that makes you see things, feel things (not in a way that is psychologically concerning, of course =P). Also it feels empowering to be able to put something down on paper and not worry about whether it's good or not. It does not matter because it is mine and no one is grading it, for once.
I am my own harshest critic, as many people are these days, but the little voice inside my head is definitely augmented by people critiquing me and my work (school and otherwise) and my life everyday.
Where is this writing going? I am rambling a bit; I have not blogged in quite some time.
My point is:
Create something for yourself.
Do something that makes you happy and don't worry if others like it - after all, it doesn't matter, right?
Also, listen to this song. =) So long for now! I'm sure it will be months before I'm inspired to blog again. <3
Ironically, I proofread this blog before posting. I kind of want to kick myself and pat myself on the back at the same time... Okay, bye for real!
