your old patterns aren’t failures - they’re invitations, and here’s why.
how many times have you caught yourself frustrated by your own actions, especially when these actions are not aligned with what you consciously intend to do?
You know - actions that feel destructive, unproductive, unhelpful...
especially when you would much rather be channeling energy to your creative outlets, instead, you often find yourself fighting yourself not to do something (like stop scrolling on your phone, already! or stop lashing out at your partner, already!), or to do something you're not doing (like get to writing that story, already! or get to the gym, already!)
What if those frustrating, self-sabotaging patterns weren’t actually failures—but messages you better pay attention to?
What if, instead of fighting yourself to break them, you could understand them, or even transform them into fuel for your creativity?
what's the unexpected gift in your emotional struggles?
ever got caught in the cycle of frustration, capitalism, and unmet creative desires?
do you ever notice yourself in a really dark place, psychologically?
where you're just MAD at the world and everything in it including yourself, really frustrated, about the way things are with capitalism and oppression and exploitation and how the world is going to shit and also at the same time beating yourself up about how you have a hard time functioning and being productive and being a ~good exploitable worker bee~ and getting mad at that too.
questioning how you thought you wanted to be creative, because even that doesn't seem to be fun or interesting right now. and getting mad at that too!
yeah, it's tough.
and there's no immediate answer, and the world kinda really sucks when you're in that place... but can I offer you a perspective?
