LOVE this so much. Thank you for sharing your words, pushing through the perfectionism and posting your informal thoughts. I'm inspired. I was just saying to my partner earlier that I want to get (back) into writing blogs, newsletters, etc, and the only reason I haven't already is because I get so stuck on where to start. The pressure of putting the "perfect" first post out, then curating the "perfect" order and strategy and all that crap that just gets in the way of creativity!! So again, THANK YOU for sharing this. You're awesome 💜
CASSIDY! <3 exactly, you already knowing. needing to have an entire strategy when just want to LET IT ALL OUT! that's the strategy. cant want to see where you take things yourself <3
Love this so much :) I too feel the same way about my creative pursuits and feel like I need to present/perform perfection but I think the great thing about substack is about showing in-progress, imperfect pieces.... as a way to create dialogue with your community. and YOU, Darian have such a vibrant, rich, and dedicated community. Excited to read more and this piece resonates with me so much especially as I share my voice as a writer on this platform. LOVE YOU! Proud of you always!
Love this exploration! I come back to the quote, “life is a feeling process” so much when writing and strategizing. Part of that feeling, though, is letting yourself feel the fun in achieving a rhythm and feeling when the time is right to let go and let God. I’ve found that reflecting upon this has helped me within and beyond my creative process. Really enjoyed reading about your process and reflections as well!
this is so real. once someone told me, "youre not supposed to think witn your brain, you're supposed to be thining with your body." and i do feel this has been applicable to many areas of my life. also: i love when you talking about feeling the fun. i can honestly say i am "feeling he fun" and you feel accomplished because it lts you know your markers for success have changed. youre letting god in and trusting the process, versus feeling the need to be in control all of the time. thank you for sharing your thoughts and supplementing this piece with your words!
