hello poo! I came across your tiktok and went to check your channel. I just want to say thank you po for speaking about your struggles as an artist that I myself can't explain for who knows why,😭 but you depicted what I was also thinking💖 I'm an incoming art student din and this is one of my fears aside from my current lack of skills. I'm scared that I won't love that form of art as much as I used to, and can't create as much as I wanted to. A little fact about me is that I'm also an athlete, and doing that sport for more than half of my life really got to me and at one point I also thought maybe it isn't what I wanted and I'll be much happier doing something else. However, I really can't force myself to stop so my only other option is to think about why I did this in the first place. I like how you mentioned you felt happy doing embroidery so I guess try to apply what you feel when doing visual art. Maybe you can try doing embroidery to represent that hug you felt? Sometimes, its more of a gut feeling yknow? Sorry po I'm rambling at this point😭 I just felt everything you said and took it to heart. Pero all I can say is, I know you're a creative person

hello! first of all, thank you so much for leaving a comment. I really appreciate it when people also share their similar struggles bc it would mean that I'm not alone and I think that it's a huge relief when someone voices out our worries :D I think when you're in art school, or taking any form of education on the things that you're passionate about, there's always this parang canon event that you're going to lose passion for the arts. I think the reason why is because getting some form of education requires us din to create art not for ourselves. You'll draw things that you don't like, and sometimes use mediums that you're not used to. But these are all essential in improving your skills and training you to have a good eye. Art education really is just a formality. And you know, when you learn these things and you know what's good and what's bad, you can't look at art the same anymore. I think that's exactly where I (and you i think) stand in this art journey. I became quite critical of myself because now I have a trained eye and I can spot what makes an artwork look good. I think the only way to regain that passion and joy from art is to rediscover the things that you like. I really emphasize that you should know what you want because at the end of the day, what matters is you've created something that makes you happy. This "losing your passion" thing is similar to losing the carelessness or the childlike wonder you had as a child. Because growing up, we were taught how to be proper human beings, we were taught how we should navigate the world, we were taught how to act, communicate and function. And then we start asking ourselves- But am I happy? I was taught that this should be that but is this what I want? Will I be satisfied? So I think it's good when you mentioned that you're finding reasons why you started your passion in the first place. I'm also currently discovering the things that I like without having to be too critical of myself. I just say "fuck it, I'll do whatever that makes me happy and I won't stop myself!" I allow myself to enjoy without having to use my "art education mindset" because it really ruins my relationship with art xD Idk if this helped TT i rambled too much also HAHAHA I also wish you goodluck on your art journey! What makes it worthwhile is that you'll also meet fellow artist that can inspire you and teach you!
