You're a creative. CREATE!

[@unclepigg]

I'm 47 and feel like I've wasted my whole life and creative potential. Perfection and self criticism have been my worst enemy. I've kind of lost myself and must get back to what I enjoy, with the goal of putting work out there instead of hiding it. Without a creative outlet I'm feeling that I'm suffocating. So I'm going to start drawing again, and dancing, and cooking. Thanks for the kick 👍🏼

[@travelvideopro]

Never too late my friend!

[@Atreyuwu]

Hey man, I'm not far behind you and have been feeling much the same (I turn 46 in a couple weeks, though I feel about half that if not younger mentally [half the time anyhow] lol). I know myself it's never too late. I've done my research; there are so many people out there who never accomplished much of anything in the world 'out there' until they were in their 50s, 60s, or even later (here's looking at you Kernel Sanders!) before finally getting their footing - and I think that's OK (though I understand why it can seem to be maybe not-so-much from a 'nostalgic' perspective); The real important part is that you can find your fulfillment *inside* yourself, regardless of what is happening outside - because that's the only place it ever truly comes from anyhow. Strange and good (strangely good, goodly strange?) things start to happen when you give yourself the gift of gratitude now, without waiting for the outside world to catch-up - but again, trust me when I say 'I know the feeling'!!!! (also, thanks to @patrickteebo for the video. It helped!). :)

[@MrPfifeDawg]

Thanks for this video! I will be 53 in a few days and am just now getting the courage to start creating/writing/shooting films. Something that has been a “want” of mine for ever. And the thing is, I DID participate in creative outlets in my youth and was quite good at it but I felt compelled to do the thing your parents teach you about obtaining a steady job, house, pay bills, retire, etc. I spent way too much time in my 20s, 30s and 40s being stuck; playing video games and grinding a 9 to 5 that made someone else rich and not me. Lol. Cheers my friend and thanks again for the kick!!🙏🏾

[@niallwildwoode7373]

I was incredibly creative in my 20's, and had a good future as a textiles artist.....then I met a young woman and got married. That was the death of it all. My creativity withered as I couldn't feed it. Now I'm in my late 60's, single and on my own beautiful acreage, starting to create natural buildings. But trying to revive that atrophied creative mind is hard and I'm so doubtful of my abilities to create beauty again. Social media is generally a curse unless used to an advantage. Thankfully I've accrued many videos of creative people in my Yt library, so I'm hoping to draw energy from them and gain some semblance of the former artist in me. To put the pressure on, I'm being filmed periodically by a crew for a very popular TV programme and am expected to complete my first build in the next 3 months to get it in the can.....it's downright terrifying!

I've been a 3D-Artist for 10 years now and lately my job didn't feel as fun as it used to. I grabbed every opportunity for a freelance gig that was remotely related to my field and did it just to earn money. But this year I realized that I didn't create anything for the sake of creating in years. So I started to take on less commissions and started to create my own art again and I feel the fun slowly coming back to me. Thank you for this video, I really needed to hear this. :)

This reminds me of someone asking a well-known author what they had to do to be a writer. This person had read many how-to-books, asked questions galore, etc. The writer simply said: 'If you want to be a writer, you have to write.' Seriously, just do the work and stop thinking about doing it. Having created something, no matter whether it's good or not, is better than nothing.

[@travelvideopro]

Exactly 💯

[@normapadro420]

I have been creating since I was 8 years old. It began with a small camera. Today I'm an artist, photographer, author, music producer for movies, television. I use time management to create. Last year I created 500 art works. All on my phone. Sometimes when I'm downloading photos from my phone it's usually by 200's, or more. Things add up when you're creating. I consider my photos art work, because they come out beautiful. I can't sit around doing nothing. It feels like my brain is rotting inside my skull. I have to do things. I am a creative. I don't like laziness.

[@travelvideopro]

Hear, hear 🥂

[@Smooth__thrills]

What is your time management strategy?

[@sandoraka]

Your story is so similar to mine. I did study art and such as a teen but everyone kept talking about how there was no work to be done in the field so I wasted my whole 20s not doing creative work at all. And then I, much like yourself, figured it out at 30. I need to be creating! So I quit my administration job, went back to school, studied game art and even though the economy is out of wack right now and it's hard to get a job. I still try to create as much as I can every day. I'm currently also creating KZbin videos of me animating my first short film and I'm having a blast with it! I totally agree with all of this! LET'S CREATE!

[@travelvideopro]

I teach partly because of the instability of creative work. But in a perfect world, that's all I'd do. Like you :)

[@Kasaaz]

One thing I'd add; As you get older, your own body and health can affect you in ways you don't realize. I'm 43 now, but two years ago I was really struggling to sort of 'reset' when I'd sit down to try and start a new task. It turned out it was as much gastrointestinal as it was mental. One surgery later, I'm down a lot of discomfort and pain that I had just become so used to, I didn't even know it was there. It's made a huge difference.

[@travelvideopro]

Our bodies are indeed a ticking timebomb! All the more reason to not wait to get going :)

Then January 1st I started to draw seriously everyday, everything, so I could make an online comic. It's a lot of work and I'm not the best but it's so much fun.

No one in my family plays and instrument. I didn't grow up in a house filled with music. I failed music in school. For some reason I had the intense desire to make music. Like you, sometimes I wish I didn't have it. Maybe life would be easier. On the other hand I don't question what my purpose in life is. The hardest thing is to finish and release your first song (article, video, poem, joke whatever). Follow the process from start to finish. Then keep doing it over and over.

[@travelvideopro]

[@annathompson3034]

Thank you for making this video. I’ve always been a creative soul, but have been massively stunted by this bully in my brain telling me that all my writings and doodles and other creative projects suck. I’m way too hard on myself, which makes my creativity and ideas dry up so fast. Recently, it almost feels like I have lost the creative part of myself, and I feel indifferent about life, which is hardly conducive to poetry writing (my main creative outlet). I struggle so hard with getting started and staying consistent with creative projects as well. It feels impossible. I suspect the critical voice in my head is one of the main reasons for this, as well as the resulting burnout. How do I be nicer to myself, and give myself grace?

[@travelvideopro]

Do it for the sake of doing it. Don't reread your poetry. Are you hard on yourself for the quality of the meals you make? Probably not. So if you treat art as something utilitarian, as something that just has to be done every day, then the end product doesn't matter nearly as much as the act of doing it. And the more you do this, the better you'll get, especially if you're reading lots and studying the craft as you go. Hope this helps 😊

[@sabiletrimm]

Nice story, Pat. I didn't know the back story to your farming series. I have a creative son and he's always trying out these wacky art projects and I don't dare stop him because who knows where it will lead. He's a natural artist and he cannot stop himself. Imagine if Jack Conte's parents convinced him that he was wasting time spending years playing in empty pubs for almost no money? Even if he never did become a (m/b)illionaire, it wouldn't even matter because he was having fun. I have this theory that no time is wasted as long as you're free. We all have the same 24h. If you choose to watch tv for 3h per night then maybe you need to, maybe you enjoy it. Who cares if nothing is produced? Relaxation is produced. And some people go to the gym every night after work. Are they better? No, they do it because they enjoy it. If they didn't, they wouldn't be able to keep it up. So basically, just do what you want. If it makes you happy, you'll find the time, and if your responsibilities don't allow you to have fun, that's ok too because that's life.

Hey Patrick, your video is very touching! I think one thing you've said and we have in common is that I also only started to be truly active on the creative field (as an illustrator) in my late 20's. I always loved to draw, since school days I would spent my whole time drawing stuff on the back of my math book, I was one of the best students in art classes and even my friends at the time were impressed by how good I already was. But any adult came to me and said "hey, you can become a professional artistis and live, pay your bills and so you know?" specially my family that for some reason always saw my creative side day by day. Well, after school I went to college, became a lawyer, kept drawing as a hobby, and I was miserable, I felt that this was not my destiny, that I was letting something great in my past. So then, it clicked, I left my job as a lawyer and started to study more about illustration and how to work on this market, and started my career.

When I was a child I was incredibly creative. I loved creating games, thinking about the universe and imagining awesome possibilities, writing fiction stories, choreographing pretend sword-fights with my friends, etc... Then, I went to a highly competitive prep school where I became overworked and incredibly stressed. All of that creative energy has been repressed for so long and it wasn't until recently that I even began to remember that it exists. Now I'm 25 and I'm trying to get that energy flowing again with this music KZbin channel and a new gaming channel as well. Hoping it will lead to a life where I don't feel so stuck.

I'm in the process of recovering from an art burn that lasted for years - and while it is going well so far, my discipline still sucks. It's a lot of "I want to make" but I rarely make the time to make. This has given me a new perspective, thank you!

[@travelvideopro]

My pleasure. Happy art making!

This is a simple and FANTASTIC message! Kudos to you! From a fellow New Brunswick creative.

Flew over NB the other day and my heart wept. Missing the Maritimes hard.

[@Cloudsandcrystalz]

I think I just became your 1000 subscriber 😆🤩

[@travelvideopro]

Woohoo 🎉

[@RascalØ3]

I loved this. Simple and straight to the point, with a lot of good lessons and knowledge. I’ve recently discovered my need to create sort of as a mistake as well, because I found that consuming content made me feel almost guilty for not making my own. That’s not the best way to describe it, but that’s fine. Anyways, great video! I’ll dedicate time to creating today :)

[@travelvideopro]

Have fun 😊

[@luciaresident7223]

I watched videos like this before and I have to say: Damn this one is diffrent, I don't just feel inspired to start from zero to hero. I feel able to continue thank you so much.

[@travelvideopro]

My sincere pleasure:)

[@jonber9411]

Put it out there. That is what it is about. I have so much secret art and writings. Good message.

[@travelvideopro]

Expose your secrets!

[@thecritic3443]

Appreciate his spirit 😊

[@Llkolii]

I love this so much!! I didn't have a creative environment either. Its taken me sooo long to accept I'm a creative and I have to create or face dire consequences lol subscribed:)

[@travelvideopro]

Thank you so much!!

[@yintan2927]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@jodymartin2527]

Thank you so much stay awesome

[@travelvideopro]

Likewise 🤩

[@ogelsmogel]

I like your little pep talk 👍 I made music and eventually I thought I had something decent so I "put it out there", which lead to me starting a band and years later playing a concert where I met my future wife :) We've been married for 15 years, got two kids so.. well, you'll never know what will happen. And who you'll meet.

[@travelvideopro]

I like it! Music = babies 😂

[@dan.kuxhaus]

Really needed to hear this. Thank you so much! 🔥

[@travelvideopro]

Thanks to you for watching 😁

[@travelvideopro]

Thanks 🙏

[@hiredbygod42]

This is just what I needed! So professionally done, too. love this

[@travelvideopro]

My pleasure ☺️

[@garfplushie]

thank you!

[@Happytravellerkimmy]

This is great! It just helped me decide to study for the LSAT instead of continuing to watch YT. "Do things and things will happen!" Indeed 😊

[@travelvideopro]

Good luck with those!

[@joannatheparadox]

I needed this reminder. Thank you so much for the much-needed kick in the butt!

[@travelvideopro]

My pleasure!

[@germaineludik]

Just what I needed to hear. My problem is I get stuck in "it has to be perfect before anyone can see it" mode. Years of practicing and not putting things out there

[@travelvideopro]

What's the worst that can happen?

[@gardenlabs]

I like the way you made this video. Very interesting. Nice work

[@giovannifurnari8668]

Simply needed this ❤ Thank you ❤🙏🇦🇺

[@travelvideopro]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Whatsthedealman]

Y’all - reading these comments has confirmed my intuitive poking that there would be an audience for a 40+ vlog. 43 year old over here 👋🏼 putting it off for a zillion excuses (yes mostly perfectionism endlessly stoeyboarding in my head). While I’m watching other vlogs for ideas and curiosity, I don’t want to (realistically cant) make one like all the 20-somethings documenting their coming of age adventures and struggles, which is the vast majority of vlogs out there…and frankly, where I am in life makes me 🥱 watching those trends over and over. Need relevant material and interest for a different, more mature demographic. Who’s in!!??

[@travelvideopro]

Millenials unite 🤘

[@HannahMorenDraws]

Enjoyed this so much! And something about your encouragement + background scenery reminded me of the "never give up" clam guy Matsuoka Shuzo. I gotta eep pursuing that creative path~~

[@travelvideopro]

Had to look up the Shuzo reference. Pretty sweet comparison (but completely unintentional) haha

[@youngd7933]

This was amazing. Thank you!

[@travelvideopro]

My pleasure ☺️

[@SabrinaSkullyFX]

I resonate with a lot of this! I thought I didn't have the time until I started making it a priority, now I do at least one creative thing a day and that's usually working on a project for my channel. It's amazing what you can actually accomplish when you allocate time toward it!

[@travelvideopro]

Indeed 😀

[@tinycuisine6544]

I don't know what your channel will bring, but I'm subscribing!

[@travelvideopro]

Thanks for the vote of confidence!
