That's not news, but I thought I'd say it. I texted him earlier today because I'm frustrated with my creativity - or lack thereof. I WANT to create, and I have the tools to do it. I just feel like I have to produce good things all the time, when in reality I don't. He told me to go to his deviantart page, because he had written something there yesterday about inspiration and creativity. So I finally got a chance to log online and check it out, and here is a part that sticks out to me:
The variations in my work are nothing more than growing pains, photographic creative block, and perhaps the feeling that I ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO produce nothing but greatness which in turn is detrimental to my mental and emotional state when I am in the field. It places unnecessary pressure on me to deliver my best which can also deliver my worst.
It DOES place unnecessary pressure on myself. Of course, his main medium of creativity is his (awesome) photography, which is a bit different than the myriad of ways I like to get things out. But it still applies.
Also, he said the words "his girlfriend" in the post and it made me smile. He wouldn't deny our relationship, but there's no need to broadcast it, either. Deviantart is a place for HIM, not US. But I like being someone's girlfriend.
Correction: I like being HIS girlfriend.
