how to create when you hate yourself

I like drawing, writing, intepreting poems, journaling… Someone out there is creating. That motivates me to create as well. Because I am yearning reciprocations for myself and for some stranger

A lot of creative people don’t lack talent — they just have an internal narrator that never lets them begin.

Camoo, bruhh

Extraordinary and to the point. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. With love.

Not sure if you've gotten this before, but the way you and Horses (the youtuber not the animal) talk sounds really similar. Not in a bad way i just noticed you have similar intonations and tone in your voice.

this is so horses

I needed this, thank you

You have saved so many lives, thank you so much

I know I will never be perfect, and so, I do not attempt anything.

I don't like the notion that one "ought" to create anything at all, or even that one ought to go on living. Also, the entire notion that art has collective value is nonsense to me. If other people want to go around telling each other grand stories about shared narratives and tying themselves up in knots over them, that's their problem.

I am about to make a two and a half minute hand drawn animation for an original song recorded by playing instruments into microphones. Art is not lucrative, that is currently true unless you already didnt need money, then you can get art career as a graduation present, figuratively speaking. But art is not dead.

Loved this video, where are these Camus quotes on art from? I’d love to read more

Creation doesn't need to be art. You can make useful things and still put yourself into it. Its more fulfilling than art imo. When someone takes your handmade tool to plane wood, exactly as you intended. Your work isn't wasted on imbeciles who want to wear it on a hoodie. Theres a lot of things to create, beauty is only one of them. Beauty has never been my bag but I still create, and its easy to not hate myself when almost everyone can understand the benefit of my choices.

wasn't this titled, "Art Is Dead"?

art is bread c:

As someone in deep self-hatred right now, this is the only mind set that makes me do something in my art. If I accept the things as they are without putting the shame. If I delve into exploring my fears and not avoiding them. If I can see something, then it must be noticed. And if I am wrong, I adjust but not reject the argument. We all need to learn, and we will always be in the search, it doesn't mean we should stop from witnessing and expressing.

Everything is deserving of existence. if not why would it exist? All is divine. This conclusion was my salvation, and lead to an authenticity and mental wellbeing I Haven’t had in my entire life.

Months ago, someone I knew in college was attacked online because of a religious misunderstanding, resulting in them receiving a lot of hate speech about themselves that didn’t even involve the original grievance. While not particularly close, I was moved enough to spend night-after-night writing a poem that points at and examines those who “don’t practice what they preach,” especially in the realm of Christianity. While not particularly proud of the piece, nor my reaction to the situation, I’m proud that I felt moved enough by an old acquaintance’s experience that I wanted to create something that both cleared the air while also discussing the issue at hand; art is, after all, made to confront both the world and yourself.

Art is not dead because this video is proof that it is not
