Im quitting
I quit.
Life is draining. I’m tired, deflated, and discouraged. I want to delete all of my social media and hide. My battery is drained and I’m done.
Do you throw away your phone because the battery is drained? Uhhh no! You plug the dang thing in, give it a rest and it’s back to normal!!
I almost forgot why I’m here!! I’m an artist. I create. My pallet is ever changing, but I never stop creating: it’s who I am.
What I am going to quit is following some sort of mindset that I thought I should have. I’m no longer chasing trends, watching numbers, waiting for some monetary reward. I’m just going to simply create. I don’t know where I got lost, but I rerouted myself and remembered my original purpose here. It isn’t to make money, be famous, or gain anything for that matter. It was simply to share the cool stuff I make. And hopefully inspire YOU to do the same.
I’m not going anywhere. I’m like a weed, I’ll just keep growing back.
It's incredibly common to feel worn out by the pressures of social media and the constant chase for validation through likes, followers, or monetary gain. I can relate deeply to the feeling of a drained battery—when life’s demands leave creativity feeling empty and exhausting. What helped me bounce back was changing how I viewed my creative process. Instead of focusing on performance metrics or comparing my art with others’, I chose to honor my original passion. Like charging a phone, taking a break to rest and reset is crucial. This meant setting boundaries with social media, reducing distractions, and creating art purely for the joy it brings me. Also, embracing imperfection helped. It’s okay if your creative journey doesn’t follow trends or a linear path. Think of your creativity like a resilient weed that grows back no matter the setback. By quitting the mindset that tied my worth to external rewards, I found freedom to experiment and share unique creations without pressure. Sharing my art again feels inspiring rather than draining. If you’re feeling lost, try unplugging from expectations, plug into your true creative passions, and remind yourself why you started. This simple shift can re-energize your creative spirit and help you grow stronger and more authentic.
