if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

Thank you for this thread. There’s times when I look back at my year’s work and find myself disappointed I wasn’t more productive. The worst thing that happened to creatives in the Age of Social Media is the need to feed the algorithm. I am not a “content creator” or a machine.

I understand that. I routinely step back from my social media outlets. They’re exhausting sometimes. If it becomes a chore to make and post art in order to make headway, we’ve lost the point of creative expression. 💚
