New set 🫐

Taking a break from any creative pursuit can be both a blessing and a challenge. After stepping away from designing for a few months, I found that jumping back in was not as straightforward as I'd hoped. The creative process felt like a mountain to climb, and the frustration was real – something I candidly refer to as a 'thundercunt' of a job. But gradually, with patience and persistence, things began to fall into place. One important lesson I learned during this period was the importance of allowing myself space to recharge rather than forcing creativity on a strict schedule. Rest is often undervalued in creative work, but it plays a pivotal role in bringing fresh perspectives and renewed energy. When I finally started working on my new set, I noticed that embracing imperfections during the early phases helped ease the pressure. For designers or creatives facing similar challenges, I recommend setting small, achievable goals to regain momentum. Celebrate these tiny wins to build confidence. Also, engaging with communities or fellow creatives can provide encouragement and new ideas. Documenting this journey not only helps me track progress but also shows that creative blocks are a natural part of the process. Sharing honest experiences can resonate with others who hesitate to start after a break. Remember, creativity isn't a linear path – patience and kindness towards oneself make all the difference in making a successful comeback.
