The most interesting people I know have lived a few different lives, each one breathes life and experience into our present world view, and current and future creativity. Even the crappy parts shape us in positive ways. I agree though even when it feel hard sometimes we just have to begin, as you have with you mentoring and wonderful words. X
Thank you so much for this comment, Bel! You have no idea how much I needed to read it today. I so appreciate you seeing the vision even when I sometimes struggle to see it myself! So grateful for you and all the wonderful words you share, too 💜
Thanks, Jess! Yeah, it's so interesting isn't it?! I love reading about all the health benefits and science behind it. I've just finished a book called Your Brain on Art which is really insightful as well. I'm on a bit of a neuroscience-meets-creativity kick at the moment, it's very affirming and makes me feel like I'm on the right path! I hope your creative practice is going well too 😊
And yeah, the tattoo studio was quite the place! There was another one I used to go to as well called Punktured 😂
Ooh I've heard of that title but haven't gotten around to it. Bumping it up on the reading list! And ah that's so great to feel on the right track! You got this! ☺️
Thanks for this vulnerable share Cassie. Insightful as always and I really do love the wild flower photo. It is enchanting especially with your flowing dress.
Thank you! I didn't mean to go quite so deep with it but I so appreciate your kind words. Sometimes I feel like I'm just writing for the me I was a year ago and hoping that these words might help someone else in the way that I needed back then. This life journey isn't easy, hey?! Thanks for the photo compliment too. I honestly look back now and feel so proud and full of love for the woman in the photo, especially because I know how much my heart was hurting when I took these, but I guess the rose-tinted hindsight helps! 💜

Loved reading this, especially the bit about creativity being a scientifically proven source of rest! And the tattoo place called penetration 😂😂😂
I wrote a piece on a sort of similar theme - really glad to see this type of conversation happening more and more! https://jessbarker.substack.com/p/creativity-antidote-in-uncertain-times Hoping you find comfort in your creative practice 💗
