From the series “

things-I-know-but-will-only-learn-repeating-many-many-times”.

I’ve been noticing for a while now that creativity and freedom are two words that will always walk together in my personal dictionary. 

In theory, we all know things like “ignore negativity/haters”, “listen to constructive criticisms”, “keep fighting”, “enjoy the ride”, “love yourself”, “love what you do”, etc, but what’s the real meaning behind those words? How do I learn those values? My past self would think “knowing is enough to learn!” and I kind of think that’s why so many things went wrong

in my life.

Learning takes time, repetition and patience. We need different kinds of situations to apply the same concepts. We need time to recognize we’re not programmed machines that automatically understands everything we’re told. That’s why I believe we’re always learning no matter our age.

So, I took a lot of time to finally notice that I must free my mind from my own pressure caused by “society’s pressure” of perfeccionism and do things my own way. “Will they like it?”, “will they throw stones at me?”, “this is not good enough for them”, “oh no I shouldn’t post this, it’s not perfect”, “I can’t do this, I’ve no good ideas” are common thoughts in my mind and it’s hard to get away from them, you get it. But now I know I have to stop, breath in, breath out, focus on my goal and keep going. Free and inspired! Always repeating this until I finally and completely undertand what’s the meaning of free creativity.

It’s a life journey!
