savor the moment, take it slow

2 min read

ii’ve been feeling pressured to create, writing, videos, pictures.

even though i had removed all expectations i still feel the need to show up.

just like how i almost lost it all, there’s this feeling within me that i need to come to terms with.

feeling the pressure as usuals, i remembered a podcast episode i had recorded.

i looked at it, from the art to the content, i pondered on how much work and effort i put into the creation of such a masterpiece.

and i started to scroll, looking at all the beautiful things i have created.

and this is just the podcast alone, i haven’t even started with the write ups and damn! the amazing pictures.

we all look at people ahead of us, look at how much they have created but never see the time span of such creations.

bodies of work spanning decades, but we want to do it in a year.

from this new found understanding, i’ve started to take a careful approach on how i create stuff. embracing each and every aspect of the process, taking it all in.

we say quantity over quality for creative work.

but sometimes it’s just enjoying the quality so much that quantity sorts itself out.

enjoy every single creation, treat it like it’s special.

because it really is.
