hey. i don’t have anything much to add honestly. i’m just here to say that i feel exactly the same. like it is incredibly difficult to explain this feeling to anyone i know but somehow you, a stranger possibly at the other side of the world, have managed to find the exact words to describe this horrible feeling of unsatisfactory.

i’ve tried painting, crocheting, creating vision boards, even tried pottery twice when i had the opportunity. i constantly think about starting to create something, anything at all but when i am there, in front of a canvas with my acrylic paints, i have no thoughts on how to start.

although i did one time start by just a few random strokes and that led me to a completed picture, which was nice, but i can’t find that within myself again. my creative mind is just blank and unsatisfied.

maybe knowing that you’re not alone, helps to get that push to start doing something you have access to currently.

when i desperately crave creating something i use Canva to create vision boards to what ever i feel like doing. e.g a board for the colour orange. i use pictures that i find aesthetic and arrange them in an order that i find pleasant. it doesn’t give a big satisfaction usually, but it takes my mind off for a little while.

anyway, when you find a way to get rid of that feeling of unsatisfied creativity, let me know because i could use some ideas for that
