I'm a perfectionist. Yeah, sometimes when I critique every single aspect of something the end result turns out really great. But, more often than not, and especially lately, it feels like a curse to have this quality. There are so many avenues I want to explore, creatively, intellectually, and even literally but sitting and waiting for the right moment is not helping. I need to just go for it, and create, learn, and travel just for the sake of it- regardless of what the outcome may be. Making something look pretty and flawless should not be where my energy goes. I don't have time for that. This blog has existed for a year and a half and I don't think i have even posted 10 posts. I'm spending too much time thinking about ideas that by the time I get up to develop the idea, it's lost it's spark.
Basically this post has been my publicly confronting that I need to (1) create more consistently and (2) be ok with flaws.
This entire post has taken ten minutes to write. Usually I'd take about thirty minutes to write and carefully edit something this short.
I hope that wherever you are, you get the courage and motivation to act now.
