Jokes on you, I never did any of those haha! ....oh wait, I did a fanfic set in the world of Maple Story when I was a kid, dam!

15 years of dance lessons wrecked my knees. I kinda can't do that much anymore.

While not big on country, I am a huge fan of this relevant song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV-Z1YwaOiw

Great store!
WhatAreYouTalkingAboutEh
I'm trying OK?
Sunegami
I definitely needed to hear this. Thank you @OP ❤️
muffingirlization
I used to write. I miss it. My soul is tired, and I lack the motivation and discipline.
irisewithredeyes
My heart is saying "Let's go" but my body's saying "No!" :D

Thanks for this, random internet person. I'm one of the people who needs to hear this.

I just shut my Etsy shop because I can't deal with the added stress from it
philopsyche
I wrote an entire book, can't interest a publisher to save my life, really don't know what to do next :(
Clayman8
Joke's on you, i already did. Was on the phone with my gf, picked up a model ive had on my desk for months...
EvilCatCreations
Yay! I love it! You're doing great 🤗
EmeraldLight
I miss writing but my body just... won't. Everything feels like effort and a chore, and I don't want something I used to love to be a chore.
bonkbone
me.
FinallyMyStupidityPaysOff
No need to remind me. It's on my ToDoList. Been there over 10 years.

Our ISP, through sheer incompetence, had a bit of an.. well, they SAID explosion, but I think something overheated and fried itself. Lost internet all weekend.
I took the time to work on some old side projects, and try a game I'd put off. It was a welcome change of pace. I'd forgotten how quickly a day can pass while I'm working.
Iunno about the rest of you, but imma start making time to be creative again. I honestly didn't think I needed it as much as I do. You probably do too.
ohmemoryoflights
Was published once upon a time. Not sure I remember how to write anymore.
Caprittles
I really want to write/dance again but i want tp get myself into a more stable living situation...
Hercules99
When I'm done just trying to survive.
poundingCode
I just did after DECADES! I finished my screenplay and am already working on the sequel. After that, I’ll have to learn Unreal Engine. The joy of creating has added electricity to my life again
GuitarBobMonterey
Thxxx. I made a little gtr tube amp, from garage sale junk.
fastjeff
I want to write again. But when I try I just get anxiety about work.
FrozenSTi
I used to be super creative 20 yrs ago. Then life put so much on the back burner. Finally, after so much time, I'm ready to start something completely new and I'm super excited
GoblinTit
I do sing. They've learned not to provide me a microphone, but I still love it.
escargogurt
How would that even work? I could maybe do two of those but don't have enough hands to do all five.
itsjustplaid
Just grow three more hands like a normal human
ShadeWisdomCrafts
Do one.
TheEvenPrez
Yeah, been a while since I've written some industrial strength smut. I should get back on the horse
Lassannn
I'm working on some castration erotica, if anyone wants to read it...
Anarchduke
I started to write castration erotica for a contest, but I missed the cut off date.

Not gonna lie, as a cis/het fellow, i find those two terms mutually exclusive, so i'd LOVE to know who actually doesn't, and why.
Lassannn
Which two terms?

Kommissar00Schneider
Sadly it's really hard to get rid of the "and now what do I do with it" mentality. To do things not for profit/ career goals/ fame/ whatever, but just for the joy it brings yourself
mouseasw
I am currently making a frame and mounting one of my paintings in it to give to a friend. Otherwise my finished paintings mostly just sit stacked on their sides in my storage space.
poundingCode
Welp, I think the answer is learn the next thing. I wrote a script, now I need to learn how to storyboard, then scrape up the coin to shoot the first scenes. Keep pushing!
Magush
I believe in you 🙌
ProbablyABitDrunk
Sure, once I find the time and energy...
poocolonel3030
You might have the time right now. Could've at least drawn a wang in the time it took you to type that. Sing in the shower. Imgur on the toilet. No excuses, unless excuses are fun for you. Make them the best excuses ever. I want a drink.
Astral134
Time and energy? In this economy?
jerrygergich4mayor
you’ll never have the time or energy unless you make it.
thedoorman42
Or the drive to care at all
ShiftyTheChangeling
do it without the time or the energy 👍
Paladir
Once I find the executive function to initiate tasks...
NonstopRampage
Here. I got you, brother. This one works all the goddamn time.
I bet you can't do it. Whatcha gonna do about it? Prove me wrong? Go ahead!
GuyFromDeathValley
Especially this, yea.. Coming home from work at 9.30 in the evening, I ain't got the energy to do anything, not even eat. And definitely no energy to write..
ProbablyABitDrunk
Yeeep. I work second shift and we're on 9s right now so I get home at 1:30 am. Management already threatening us with 10s. =/

Getting something even small done might boost your motivation and give you the energy boost you are needing
TheAngriestBeardman
My desire to create was beaten out of me in school. Won't make it anywhere in life doodling on your notes, detention for drawing on the back of assignments, etc.
PocketCleric
and money....
whateverthevoicestellme
It’s the other way around. Get back to expressing yourself and you’ll have more energy than you have now
ShadeWisdomCrafts
One sentence a day.
One scrappy sketch.
One doodle or brushstroke.
Your creativity is a muscle and even the little things help it get stronger.

Maybe we should poke our struggling artists here now and then. It can really give you a boost to just know someone is interested.
Girlie1337
You should do one thing every day that is completely for yourself and that you enjoy. Keep in mind this doesn't mean something you necessarily do alone. Maybe your thing is playing with your kids or calling a friend. Prioritize yourself. You won't find time, you'll need to make time.
Girlie1337
It just occurred to me that you're on Imgur. Maybe this is the one thing you do for yourself that you enjoy?
ProbablyABitDrunk
Pretty sure the one thing I do for myself is sleep, and even that I suck at.
EvilCatCreations
Don't rush yourself, but please never stop! ❤️

Little things in many increments.

I hear cocaine helps with energy
GreenB6n6n6
Just dont over do it. Long term use takes away empathy plus other health risks. Take mushrooms you get motivation that might boost your energy too
Oogibah
Shouldn't drink and cocaine
HawkmanXLII
Yes you should, that's the best way to cocaine.
