Hi Cana! This post touches on several things I think about constantly. It is extremely difficult to not give into the feeling of futility when it comes to art. Personally, just starting a substack and sharing my feelings on this topic and finding so many people feel similarly has been empowering and motivating for me as an artist. I'm not sure if you follow Ismatu, but I want to share a post from her with you that lit a fire under me, I really think you'd resonate. Cheers!: https://ismatu.substack.com/p/the-role-of-the-artist-is-to-load

i feel similarly to you in terms of starting my own substack: craving spaces where we can all participate and do dreamy creative things together and absorb insights in new ways. ♥️ and indeed i follow ismatu!! this post you shared and the one she posted right after are what inspired me to draft these thoughts, so thx for injecting that here!
