Writers Write. Painters Paint. What Aren’t You Doing?
Writers write. Painters paint. I just saw and reposted this beautiful IG video from a guy in the midst of an existential crisis, feeling absolutely drained and not loving life. He said he could’ve found more friends, hit the gym, or gotten a therapist, and those things may have helped… but whenever he would talk to his dad, his dad would ask, “Have you painted? When was the last time you painted?” And he’d respond… weeks. His dad would say, “Well, that’s why you’re depressed.” And he said he’d be met with such resistance to actually sitting down and painting, but when he did, the results were obvious. He is now a full-time artist.
Whatever you consider a hobby, a little thing that you don’t make time for because you have adulting, human’ing to do, you’re too busy being worried, START DOING IT. I’ve been a full-time writer and sharer of info, bringer of inspiration, breaker of chains, for 18 years now. And let’s just say when I stopped writing for a time, I started walking 10 miles a day. FOR MONTHS. I didn’t even own sneakers! Had to buy some so I could start walking (like Kanye needing a marble table before he could hold a meeting lol).
It did not help.
And my left knee still hurts.
Do a little of what brings you closer to God and His Vision- what He saw and what He sees for you every day. Writers write. Painters paint. Prayers pray. For the world. That last one may be the missing Peace 🙂
I love you!
