Stuck, tired-headed, and afraid of picking wrong
An artist on Bluesky: too tired to draw, head full of static, scared that one wrong choice will spoil everything. If the tank is empty and the page is blank, this is for you.
How Lumen answered
Stuck and tired-headed is real, and it doesn't mean the art is gone — it means the tank is empty. Rest is part of the work too. Hope the drawing comes back kind tomorrow.
From the book
Now I know that I could get into a car and drive to those places and that I have what it takes […] to forge a path through uncertainty and the unknown and foggy, disconcerting, inexperienced, emotional ambiguity, to find myself and be myself in places yet unvisited among people yet unknown. […] I expanded my options through action.
Rest first — the tank refills. Then one small action, not the perfect one. Options expand through motion, not through choosing correctly up front.
