Please 🙏 I don’t know what to post next 😭

Edit: I just realized the post is for 24 hours. Uh. I’m definitely not gonna wait that long, so… in a few hours maybe?

Aww, Idea…! Thank you!

Trooper Linda’s One-Liner Wednesday . A whole week of interesting quotes and ideas, but on Wednesday I’m left wordless and idealess.

In the midst of a global pandemic and a world turned upside down, in which we’re all having to adjust to a new lockdown version of daily life, how are others so inspired when I am struggling with a creative thought?

Far from feeling like learning a new language or brushing up on my guitar playing skills, I feel completely and utterly lost. With little routine, one day blurs into the next and the past few weeks have slipped me by in the blink of an eye. I’m existing in a dazed and exhausted state, and yet the concept of (self-) isolation is far from new to me. 

In essence, the isolation part isn’t or shouldn’t be an issue. I am more than happy to spend time on my own. In fact, I prefer to social distance from people and I do not like to be in big crowds. But when it comes to feeding my creativity, I have quickly and acutely become aware I need access to the outside world. For me, creativity isn’t happening in isolation.

Don’t get me wrong, I have been looking for it. I have been searching high and low but in the confines of my own home - one I am not allowed to leave freely - it's becoming an increasingly more difficult task. Sure there are blog posts, articles and videos designed to motivate and inspire me but they’re just not working... and I’ve been scouring them all in the vain hope something might reignite my creative spark... It hasn’t.
