EP19: Time & Wisdom

We're back with a new season! Kicking things off in episode 19 we discuss struggles with long-term creativity and the continuing path we are on, insights on who we are on social media and the challenging yet rewarding endeavour of making new friends as an adult.

Key Takeaways:

1. There is no switch that takes you from being busy with work or life, to being creative. It instead takes time and space. 
2. Sometimes being pulled away from your art practise mid-flow is painful, in these instances, we might decide we don’t have enough time to enter and enjoy the state of flow – so we don’t engage in the practise.
3. The journey of painting or moving closer to oneself is a path. You are already on the path, and even when you aren’t actively making or producing art, that struggle is still considered movement, along said path.
4. We feel a frustration when we see people who appear to lack authenticity or "edges" on social media.
5. The complexity of social media personas exits, and what people share online is only a fraction of their true selves, we too have curated ourselves online.
6. There is discomfort in seeing people online in our communities who ignore topics of human rights yet talk about love and light.
7. Making friends as an adult is challenging, but possible! 
8. Friendships are an investment and need to be reciprocal in energy, while also considering that you need to be mindful of the ebbs and flows of said relationships.
9. Remember to create space for friendships, and be intentional about inviting those connections in, and terminating them when they aren’t right.
