doomscrolling makes us consume content endlessly, which is why we forget to create.
i cant remember the last time where i actually had an idea and decided to work on making that idea a reality. if thats art or a new tumblr post. this is something i want to change.
im way too focused on consuming. for example whenever i try to write a new blog post i cant seem to come up with something without looking at inspiration first.
i think that getting inspiration from other people once in a while is a good thing, but we shouldnt rely on it too much.
something that has helped me is just writing down any thought that i have regarding an idea or solution to a problem that im currently having. even if that idea is stupid, because sometimes stupid ideas arent as stupid as they sound. with a little bit of improvement those ideas could even turn into great ideas.
i think we focus too much on quick solutions to problems and finding "the best possible idea".
maybe im just overthinking this but i guess a little more creativity is never a bad thing

I completely agree. I struggle to even sketch anymore because I can’t think of my own ideas. This makes a lot of sense and gives a bit of an explanation.

Absolutely! I think as well with the massive amount of social medias that have gone for short video media like tiktok has definitely changed how people interact with the internet. I usually detox by just listening to music, or simply logging off for the day and spending some time on my other hobbies LOL. I totally get you.
whenever i scroll on tiktok i can just feel my brain melting away lmao. it feels so weird to see the same/similar content reposted over and over again. listening to music has definitely helped me too!!
