There’s something ludicrous about the pacing of social media that makes us feel like we have to constantly keep producing (in whatever form) or else we will become irrelevant.
I am always seeing the, “I am so beyond thrilled to be a part of...” “I’m so excited to be making this...” kinds of posts that should stand on their own for a long time! But in the bottomless ravenous hunger of the fleeting social media feed, work / events / milestones have a short shelf life of interest. So there is pressure to do more, be more, share more.
Over the last couple of years I was able to be very prolific with my work and I think that set an unreasonable standard for both myself and my audience. The fact is, creativity comes in waves (sometimes tsunamis) and sometimes, there is personal debris that needs to be cleaned up after such a perfect storm of output.
After I released She Wolfe, I had so much stress to release - I experienced involuntary muscle spasms all over my body for months afterward.
And this year, so much has happened in my personal life that the creative output has been suspended in the ether, waiting to be given the go ahead by my higher self. Writing is another form of my self-expression, which I can still luckily do at whim. But much of the “big stuff” has been put on hold.
On social media, we show what we want to be seen. We cultivate. But life is much messier than that. So when things are too messy to cultivate, we feel lesser. At a loss. Unable to fit what we are into the lens of those who view us.
The ebb and flow of the creative person is such that, we need to honour the ebb. We need to retreat. We need to listen to it and give it space. In a world that puts the pressure on to do + share to infinity, it’s important to not get caught up in that - as, if you think about it, it’s chasing a high that can never truly be reached. There’s no real satisfaction in it. Just like there is no real satisfaction in the constant scrolling of a news feed.
Food/feed for thought! Go at your own pace. Go more deeply inward when you need to. You are still creating, always, even if it’s something others can’t see. Remember: outp

Tar med meg minnene hjem, og er så glad jeg alltid skal tilbake til barndomsparadiset Seløya!
