Wow. I love this Phoebe. Funnily enough this has been something I've been pondering about this week. I work in the healthcare industry and yet my heart longs and yearns to be also in the field of entertainment- such as acting, becoming a writer, working in media. And I know God is able to do it if it's His will but it's such a tension that's driven in my heart very often. So I'm thankful that you articulated so well what I was feeling within, such a great perspective! Also so crazy to see you at church that time!!
I feel you. We are creative beings and it is SOOOOO important to care for your creative health in the ways you can, I'd really encourage you to see how you can bring it into you 9-5, honestly even talking about creative things with colleagues (sharing recommendations, hand-making birthday cards, leaving doodles in the office, talking about theatre shows and movies) can sometimes be enough, just enough to soothe your brain and say "hey, I'm not ignoring you, this stuff matters!".
This resonates so much with me. I’m an artist who’s been trying to go through the art world and have an art career and not lose my creative health in the process. It hasn’t been easy but it feels good knowing that what I’ve been feeling and thinking isn’t just exclusive to me and we all need to prioritise our creative health no matter the job description. Thank you for writing this!
