You're right there. It's a constant cleaving away of what I don't have time for. Lists keep me on track and the tiny dopamine hit of crossing off completed items is satisfying. 😂 Really enjoyable to chat with you. I must come hang out on your blog at some point very soon.
I'll have some consequential content soon. My most recent hard hitting piece was about imposter syndrome and considering the sale of all my cameras. https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@holoz0r/photographic-ruin-and-insecurity-on-starting-from-scratch-and-planning-for-the-future
Consequential content! I like that wording. I'm going through the post you linked here. Lots of thoughts as I slowly go through it, but I'll leave you a comment there. Thanks for linking me.
Everything has consequences, just some things have more personal ones. That's the sort of stuff that I like to engage myself in. Deep introspection and despair, for the most part.
I agree that everything has consequences; "some things have more personal ones" - I had not thought of it in that context.
This begs me to ask, not about the deep introspection, but rather the despair. Does the despair arise from the deep introspection?
sidetrack question, is your last name Greek in origin?
Close, Cyprian, but they're basically Greek anyway. I live and suffer in Australia. My father and grandparents were all born in Cyprus though.
Despair certainly does arise from introspection in my case. I should probably consult medical professionals and obtain substances that prevent this from happening, but I can't escape from the notion that you are unable to create Art unless you're miserable.
Cyprian, that's pretty cool. There are quite a few Greek where I live, so I wondered when I saw your name.
You live and suffer in Australia? I don't think I've ever heard an Aussie say that, even the ones I know that live here.
Why is that?
From my experience only, yes, this is quite useful (still is) to the creative process, all that energy in that form. Very useful. That said, something happened that I can't identify, nor describe, nor pinpoint when it occured in my creative journey, that changed the entire process for me so that this is no longer a necessary part of my creative process.
