knowing what to do
I know what to do but I can't bring myself to do it.
I keep coming back to my thoughts on how the value of creativity for the creator is in the work itself and despite that, I find myself frozen with fear at the thought of trying to create something and failing.
I'm sure we've all had that feeling of guilt, knowing there's something you want to do but being unable to push through and do the thing.
All the articles, blog posts and YouTube videos telling you to push through and just 'start' even if it's bad don't help because if it was that simple, you wouldn't need the advice, the push or a boost of courage to try and fight off this gnawing feeling of not having anything worth sharing.
Perhaps things aren't painful enough yet? I have a desire to create, to produce and to push towards meaningful work but it's not all consuming. It's not busting at the seams of my being trying to escape. It's simmering but never boiling over.
I know what to do, I know what I should do... But I can't bring myself to do it.
And so the cycle continues.
