The Six Lands
As I've gotten older I've noticed my creativity has diminished. I read books and watch roleplays and I'm taken back to a time when it came naturally to me. Days I would roleplay with friends and do an action to set a scene in motion, never worried about making them bored or ruining a plan they had for a scene. Or days I would write something insane and never worry if people thought it was good. I'd do this with pure enjoyment. Only with thoughts on how much I enjoyed what I was doing.
I was talking to a dear friend once and asked them why it was like that. Why I couldn't be like that anymore. Why was it that when I was down, nothing could get my creativity going? The simple version of her reply? Life. And I can honestly agree with that. I would like to think that I've learned from past mistakes, but somehow people have still taken advantage of my nature and life has been really rough. It has made me unknowingly protect my inner child or push it aside and in response... hinder my creativity.
I've come to the conclusion that for too long I've chosen life and people over my inner child. Made myself stressed over things I thought were important... but were they really? Made myself be around people I thought I liked... but why do I feel drained around them?
Life or my Inner Child. Maybe I'll try going forward with a new tactic. Take actions for me and not what the world says I should be doing.
In other words, Dream big, Do, Reflect.
