Wow, it’s been two weeks and I haven’t written anything. I can tell that the days have gone by quickly because I haven’t processed the time that’s passed and my life feels like it’s slipping through my fingers again. Life has been busy. Not just with daily tasks but with long term projects ramping up (mostly The Color Purple). We spent the week before traveling to New York prepping to go and the week after getting our feet back under us and catching up on work. I still don’t feel normal again but that is probably because I have a lot of work to do for The Color Purple and feel like I don’t have the time for everything.
I’ve been thinking a lot about creative pursuits the past couple of weeks. How we pursue creativity. Why we pursue creativity. What happens when we don’t express our thoughts and ideas. That sort of thing. Today, I was really inspired while listening to How to Build a Second Brain by Tiago Forte. The section I listened to wasn’t even a big inspirational part it was just explaining how to process after a project is completed by analyzing it and then putting the parts away into different areas where it can be called upon again. The thought of having a lifetime’s amount of all the different creative things that I do now, not to mention the new things I will pick up as I go through life, legitimately brought tears to my eyes. I was in my car thinking about my calling to love people and tell stories and just was overwhelmed with the different ways to do that. I hope it’s moments like that that keep me focused and producing work even when things are hard or I feel like I don’t have the time necessary. Creating is the lifeblood of humanity.
Just wanted to give a little update on where I am in life. I’ll post separately about New York and all of that later this week when I have more time to sit and think about it.
Until next time!
