Never Lose Your Creative Spark
I remember when I was young, I went through so many pads of drawing paper.
I basically taught myself to draw although I really wanted to learn.
Of course, YouTube wasn’t available to me but bookstores were and I certainly miss those days.
As I got older, I found myself writing less and drawing less, save for class.
I miss writing and drawing leisurely.
It came so easily to me, like a calling within me, and I remember it feeling like euphoria, and I would write and I would draw.
Today, I think about drawing mostly and how difficult it is to sit down and just doodle.
I have crayons, water color, colored pencils, a few drawing pads, hell, I even have stamps that I created, and when I sit down with all those resources available to me…nothing.
I have no idea where the passion went and I wonder if it will ever return.
I was obsessed!
Now, I’m not and it bothers me.
I know losing interest in activities is one of the many signs of depression symptoms, but I wish it wouldn’t attack what I loved doing the most.
Whenever you can, try and remember the activities that you did as a child.
Remember how it made you feel, especially on the inside.
Don’t ever lose that spark, keep it burning.
–you deserve happiness
