Having a creative mind is a gift that not a lot of people understand. It is true that us creatives see the world differently, and we all have this burning desire inside to create beautiful works of art in every medium, but we are also consistently fighting our own thoughts day and night. There are a plethora of struggles creatives have on their mind at any time, but I’ve narrowed it down to the five thoughts that seem to have created a permanent home in the back of my mind.


1. You will always feel a little envious of other creatives.

No matter how amazing you are at what you do, you’ll always compare yourself to other creatives. The feeling of not being good enough can tear you apart. Jealousy can really impact you and your work, but you just have to remember to flip that jealousy around and turn it into inspiration.

2. Going from a million ideas to zero ideas.

Being creative means constantly having new project ideas running through your mind 24/7. This is great and all, but what happens when you have absolutely no clue where to start, and what happens when all of these ideas start to keep you up at night? Even worse, what happens when you suddenly have no ideas and you feel completely lost? It sucks. It really sucks. But never ever give up! Your creative juices will always come back.

3. It’s hard for people to take you seriously.

Any form of art is often looked at as a hobby rather than a profession. People just don’t understand that you CAN be a successful, professional, creative. Also, the myth that creatives are just “starving artists” is just a bunch of bologna.

4. Your mind and your creative space are a hot mess.

You’re a little messy and a little unorganized. That’s okay! We all are. Once you get in the zone, your mind will run a million miles a minute, and anything and everything you use to create your work will be all over the place - on your clothes, in your hair, in your nails, on the floor, and even in your nose (One time, I was blowing charcoal dust out of my nose for days…yuck!). This is just something your friends and family have to accept. Besides, it’s all just organized chaos, right?

5. No one will understand our struggle.

It’s not all fun and games. Contrary to popular belief, creatives don’t just sit down and create amazing works of art whenever they want. And honestly, no one will ever understand that until they actually try to do what we do! Us creatives are driving on a bumpy road, but it’s important that we just follow it through, and continue to follow our passion.

And always remember...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
