Why I love my drug addiction
What follows is a tale of blissful intoxication when it comes to being a multi-creative:
Something I call creative heroin.
You’re probably confused but stay with me and let me explain.
As a multi-creative I like to learn new things and am constantly looking for new skills and experiences while having multiple interests and hobbies.
From the outside looking in it seems like we lack focus, have no idea what we want out of life, can’t commit, or we’re just nut-jobs.
None of its true.
Multi-creatives aren’t chasing the next high we just realized something that most people can’t come to terms with and wonder why they’re miserable.
Realizing that it’s okay to love more than one thing.
That feeling of individual freedom that you get enjoying the things that you enjoy and not caring about what other people think is sensational.
Take me for example. 10 months ago, I started a cleaning company and had plans to scale it within a year. Once I experienced how much time it was taking from things I enjoy and killing my body I knew I needed to pivot.
Writing is something that brings me joy, clarity, and a mental health benefit. Once I realized I could make more moneys doing it and it wouldn’t suck up my time like the cleaning company I started learning immediately.
I love a lot of things, and writing is one of them.
It’s not a time suck, I can enjoy my hobbies, pursue interests, and not feel like I’m stuck or just doing something because it fits the “status quo”.
Don’t box yourself in or feel like you need to focus on just one thing, it’s bs.
And remember, it’s okay to love more than one thing.
