What am I bored of?


I'm bored of...

* making To Do lists for other people
* comparison and competitiveness
* knocking my pan out just to be able to say that I have "done it all"
* trying to inveigle my way into particular creative/blogging scenes
* unwellness and trying to effing fix it
* bottling it in when politeness is not called for
* being seduced into the idea that I could be a painter (like, for reals)
* over-analysing everything for meaning and significance
* incense
* hours evaporating while my eyeballs are glued to other people's pixels
* being more afraid than I need to be

I'm NOT bored of...

* focusing on my number one dream project right now
* capturing everyday moments with my camera
* talismans
* playing along with creative prompts in my own way, in my own time
* my beautiful sister
* painting for the sheer joy of it
* discovering music that dances through my soul
* crochet
* listening to my body as it shows me what it needs and what it doesn't
* reading about all things creativity
* learning show my vulnerabilities

With thanks to the indomitable Alexandra Franzen for yet another life-changing prompt.

  1. I love these lists and I love that you facing what makes you bored! I have to agree with numbers 2 and 4, which strangely seem to go to together for me...I also agree with number 10, though I really can't view blogs as often as I used to since I don't have great internet service at my home, but that seems to help me get more things done ;)

    Also love the new framed prints you acquired - those brave girl boots are fantastic! It reminds me that I want to have the work of other artists in my home right now as I continue with my home cleaning and clearing, which is definitely NOT boring me!!
