DIVINE & MARC ALMOND | NYC, 1982
never cease to create. to produce, to express. regardless of its execution—even if it be amateur at best—so be it! there’s no obligation to share it beyond yourself. challenge yourself to make this a daily habit. a small doodle; a single paragraph; whatever you feel inclined toward during that moment. maintain this exercise in creative expression, and, before you begin to realize it: momentum and technique organically stabilize a structural foundation tailored to your preferences.
there’s just that singular rule to remember: do not obstruct your own path. do not discredit yourself. having produced anything is better than nothing at all. [i’ve also noticed this pattern stabilize my daily mood, which naturally swats depression away.]
initialize the behavior by taking that first step. you owe it to yourself.
