fall in love with life again

Описание: Work has been all consuming my entire adult life. It was my only focus for so long that when I started to burn out, I realized I had left all my other joys behind. Life was exhausting. My creativity was on fumes—which is crazy given that I work in a creative field. Then I rediscovered gaming, followed by reading, then writing, all passions I enjoyed when I was a child. I felt my creativity slowly start coming back. It was only when I discovered polymer clay last year, that I truly found something that reignited the joy in creating I had been missing for so long! Sometimes I can’t sleep at night because I’m so excited to sculpt the next day. I’ve always loved fantasy worlds, and clay has allowed me to express that part of myself in the fanciful creations I make. It’s become my peace and I dream of so many ideas I hope to one day bring to life!

Reclaiming the passions I once thought I lost has led me to dare to dream again. I’ve always wanted to travel the world but there were always so many obstacles in the way. Last year, I was finally able to go abroad for the first time and visit South Korea. It was the most incredible experience of my life, and I’ve been teaching myself Korean as it has become another passion of mine. I dream of one day going back for extended time to be fully immersed and even more appreciate all it has to offer.

I believe creative outlets are so important, even if you work in a creative field. Having other passions can help you stay afloat when the full time feels overwhelming. Find the things that bring you joy and hold on to them 🧡
