I never wanted to put pressure on my writing to be what provided and supported me, and luckily I became equally as passionate about being an entrepreneur so it didn’t have to
As creative people, writers, we can often put pressure on ourselves to create the right environment to write, we can put pressure on ourselves to just be one thing, look a certain way, basically try to reach perfection when it doesn’t really have to be that way
To judge ourselves for wanting to do what we love, but not having the space to do it or the money to invest in it like we’d want to, or even feeling ready to put our energy into it like the way we’re ‘supposed to’
I’m more driven by entrepreneurship right now and I’m making it okay that that doesn’t mean giving everything to my singing and writing (even though I care about it just as much!), but that it gets to exist alongside what I’m currently focused on
I wanted to film this video not because my singing / poetry is perfect (my voice is so un-warmed up 😂) but to take the perfection out of what creating / singing and writing is supposed to look like. What pursuing the things you love is supposed to look like (you’ll never see me niching down or sticking to one thing because I believe both can work together)
I’ve ran a project management / thought partnership business for nearly 5 years now, but I also LOVE my poetry, writing and singing, and sometimes that looks like working on my laptop AND letting myself sing and write ideas that come into my head at the same time
I think taking pressure of ourselves for how we’re supposed to create and how we’re supposed to share what we’re create, inevitably just encourages us to actually do it
with love,
Emma
