Birthing Your Art

"Crippling Self-doubt..."

I've had crippling stage fright.

Crippling perfection. 

Crippling fear of not being accepted. 

Crippled. 

Lately, been over whelmed with a ZILLION ideas of self-expression. 

"Absolute narcissism."

I have ideas flooding through that NEED to get out. 

Hmm...

Does that make me a narcissist?!?

Definition of narcissism: 

-The part about "craving admiration." Totally true! 

Would love for that to happen as a result of my Art. 

But...

Bc of crippling Self-doubt...

Not so much Art makes it. 

I remember in an 8th grade Science lesson the teacher describing turtles hatching on a beach. 

100's of turtles would hatch in the sand. They had to make their way to the water in order to survive. Only 10 would live. The seagulls, elements, humans, crabs would kill or eat the baby turtles on their journey to freedom. Mother Nature knew that more turtles needed to be hatched Bc not all will make it to the ocean. 

We need to hatch as many Artistic ideas as possible. 

Bc not all will survive. 

Self-doubt. 

Practicality. 

Timing. 

Financial restraints. 

All attack the infant Art. 

Our job as Artists, is to keep birthing new hatchlings. 

No judgements. 

Just hatch em! 

Today, what Art are you birthing right now?!?!

Menu calendar for your fridge?!?

Creative organization for your kids toys?!!

Funky make-up you want to try?!?

Point is, not all Art is haughty. 

Art can be found in the every day. 

Just keep hatching it :)
