When the pandemic started, the world was put to a stop to start adapting to the "new normal". However, I did not. The lockdown took a toll on my mental health, leading to creative burnout. The following words are not driven by exaggeration but truth only - my dreams and passions in life started fading away like it was all too much. It was even more draining to realise you might end up nowhere because of it. However, as months passed, I slowly tried to have my "new normal", changed my perspective, and took the step to take my creativity back. I started new hobbies such as reading books, playing online games, journaling as a way to destress. Learning new skills and experimenting made my ideas flow like water. I eventually found myself in a much better with curiosity and creativity. Furthermore, building my connections to find the right people who would take me on the right path.
If you ever find yourself in a situation like this, take all the time you need to de-stress and bounce back up to explore and experiment again to let your creative curiosity side out!
