I make something. Could be a song, poem, meal, short story or podcast. I just like losing myself in something. There are times when I feel all out of sorts and can't figure out why? Turns out I haven't been creative in too long. I go down to my studio and voila... I'm right as rain again.

mhm... though I do find it hard to come up with something enjoyable and positive when trying to blow steam by creating. Ends up as a cry for help for me or something hahaha. I'd love to see some stuff you come up with, if yu're not uncomfortabe with sharing it. now and then I follow the music you post, pretty neat stuff

Damn, I didn't see those paintings. Those are really awesome, TNG!

I do a similar thing to you, really. Used to be when I needed to deal with something I'd go write, usually a short story or some poetry or something. Recently it's been almost exclusively music, though - I'm finding bashing out some really angry piano stuff a la Amanda Palmer or The MurderChord really helps.

Go make stuff. This isn't a practice run, it's your life. Create....!!
