I’d say my number one worst habit as a creative person is abandoning projects. I can’t even begin to count the number of projects I’ve conjured up and cast aside in my 25 years on this planet Earth.
But I keep starting projects because I am a creative person and I need some sort of outlet. Being with somewhere to put myself sends me to depression.
I learned that in my freshman year of college when I was without a creative outlet for the first time in my life. Up until college I’d always been taking art classes or doing work at home. That first semester I threw myself into academics and quickly discovered that I missed having and outlet.
It was after that I got a graphic design job on campus. And later in my junior year I picked up painting again because I missed expressing my own thoughts through art.
However, I also have some form of ADHD that was never diagnosed, so focusing on a project long enough to complete it seems beyond me.
Maybe one day I’ll make a master list of patents and trademarks for ideas that I can sell off. Until then, I have to at least not abandon this website.
