sometimes tasks as simple as getting laundry put away can take me an entire day. i can turn a 10 min task into a 5 hour task if i get distracted enough. but i’m trying to teach myself 2forgive myself for going at a slower pace sometimes. it’s ok 2 be kind to yourself on bad days

u ever delete tweets cuz ur sick of seeing ur own thoughts? like damn i need a break from myself

and this is a prime example of what artists mean when they say watermarks do not equal credit, and they do NOT prevent art from being stolen and reposted w/o permission. don’t repost art and if you insist directly link the artist so they can get the credit they deserve. ffs twitter.com/DevinElleKurtz…

take care of yourself today!! drink lots of water and rest up. draw something for you. do something you’ve been putting off for a while to get it off of your list, even if it’s something small like taking out the trash!!

u know when u want to draw but u have no inspiration so you draw 10 different things but don’t finish any of them and end up exactly where u started and then u just give up

i know $13 seems expensive for international shipping but if we have to use other services to send mail out of the US the price will quite literally jump to upwards of $30. and that’s for a 6oz package

seeing pretty art on my tl gives me the biggest boost of serotonin i’m so happy artists exist

Working in the creative field is hard whether you’re established or just starting out. Burnout is almost entirely inevitable within the sphere of social media/hustle culture, so please take care of yourself and don’t feel guilty for taking things at your own pace

it’s okay to not do anything productive today and you don’t have to feel bad about it

progress doesn’t always have to be physical. maybe you’ve shifted your perspective, or maybe you’re kinder to yourself. emotional and spiritual progress IS progress. just because u can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there!! 💖

It’s okay to take breaks and pace yourself. Burn out is common and normal, so you have to prepare to take time away from your passion. Art isn’t a race. You have to take care of yourself too twitter.com/dalimash/statu…

if u want to get plants but are too scared of killing it.. buy the damn plant. ur bound to kill a few plants but you’ll learn how to take care of them as u go. and also, put them somewhere where you can see them every day. plants don’t just die overnight, they r very vocal

sometimes i’ll get a spark of creativity, and i’ll want to try out 3 new hobbies and i’ll spend money on shiny new supplies for them.. only to stick with it for a week. but that’s ok. you won’t always feel super creative and that’s not a bad thing. pls don’t be so hard on urself
393
it’s okay to take that break and indulge in your personal happiness. it’s okay if you’re not constantly doing things to make money. life is about balance. all work and no play will burn you out
394
it’s okay to experiment and draw things out of your comfort zone. it’s okay to experiment and it’s okay to fail. it’s okay to not like what you create, that’s a part of the process. do what makes u happy or else 🔪

also while we’re talking about the USPS, it’s extremely delayed right now so please be patient and don’t take it out on business owners. they don’t deserve a 1 star rating on etsy because of something that’s out of their control. and be nice to usps workers too
