#no one can get mad if you dont finish something ignore the invisible audience in your head

[redysetdare]

I don't know who needs to hear this but... You don't need to finish that WIP. not everything you create has to be a Work In Progress. you can just sketch something or write out a draft and then never go any farther than that. you don't have to finish everything you create. not everything is meant to be finished.

also, starting a new WIP when you have another isn't bad. it doesn't stop you from going back to the old one. sometimes you get excited for an idea, sometimes you just need to get that idea down. Do it. start another WIP. nothing is stopping you from going back to the old one later.

the only one putting these barriers up is yourself. Stop holding yourself back. You'll find yourself a lot happier if you stop forcing yourself to follow these invisible rules on what you can and should be focusing on finishing.

#text #art #idk what the art side of tumblr is called im sorry #writing #writeblr #literally you dont have to finish anything ever it's ok #no one can get mad if you dont finish something ignore the invisible audience in your head #no one can see how many wips you have no one can judge you #not finish somesthing doesn't mean you failed or that you're a failure #be free my child. create and enjoy the act of creating #you dont have to finish anything if you're stuck #you are not a bad person for not finishing your creations #not everything is made to be completed #genuinely once you get into this mindset you'll find the creative process a lot easier #I have 'wips' that are constantly being worked on as i jump between them as i feel like it #and because i put no pressure on myself to finish them by a certain deadline then I realize i feel a lot happier and relax in my artwork #i've gone back to month old wips to work and rework as i realized what i could do better after taking a break from it #I had art pieces I started and then finished months apart because I just couldn't get into the flow of the piece until then #I have millions of pieces that are unfinished and will never be finished and I'm ok with that
