I’ve gone to different articles and videos tackling about creative pursuits and all of them pretty much say the same thing: “Practicing creative pursuits every day will make you happier.” And as you know, I’m all about seeking happiness (and I think everyone does the same)
The past few weeks were spent rekindling with my old hobbies. There are times though that I procrastinate and I feel like I need enough motivation to just get out of bed and get lost with my creativity and ideas. It's not about the result; it's about the everyday maintenance of my quality of life and of expressing myself. In order to kick off my creativity I decided to make a list of the things that I love and enjoy doing.

I’ve also watched a video from Anna Akana’s Youtube channel and the way she talks about this as a person working in the creative industry elaborates the difference of work project and passion project.
“In art, at a certain level, there is no ‘better than’. It’s just about trying to operate for yourself on the most supreme level, artistically, that you can and hoping that people get it. Trusting that, because of the way people are built and how connected we are, greatness will be translated and symmetry will be recognized.” – Frank Ocean
What are your creative pursuits? And how do you motivate yourself?
