I always think about all those songs I wrote years ago. I have a really beautiful memory of it all and I’ve never forgotten that feeling. The thing is, after that amazing phase, I felt like a tap closed and I never created anything again. But that has ended, I’ve said it 😈
Is there such a thing as a creativity tap? Can you lose your expressiveness? Is it possible that what you love most in the world is also what scares you the most? And what if you don’t know anymore? And what the heck will people say? Who’s going to care? Thousands of questions, thousands of fears. But suddenly you stop creating. You can’t.
I think a creative block is really the result of not knowing how to manage things or accept them. It’s emotional. You can’t face or overcome anything if you don’t accept it first, plain and simple. And this leads you to lose your own path. Maybe you relate to this. Sometimes the situation you live through overwhelms you, you feel small, and everything feels uphill. You don’t connect with yourself the same way anymore. You stop shining, you fade. You give other people a strength, control, and power over you that you should never give anyone.
At this point, you have to think about yourself, be selfish, love yourself, and push away all the crap that’s holding you back. Sometimes it’s places or jobs, sometimes it’s people. Sometimes it’s knowing how to say NO. Sometimes it’s changing habits. But always, always, it’s your responsibility and depends on you to take action in your life. It depends on you to eliminate those resistances. It depends on you to get gutsy and turn that damn creativity tap back on, or whatever else is blocked. Either you turn it on, or nobody else will do it for you. But time, my friend, time never waits. The choice is yours!
PS: I’ve chosen to smash my damn blocked tap and it feels amazing ❤️
