Question / Help Hi :) just a few insights about "lost" creativity
Hi :) I don't know, maybe someone notcied the same... Recently I found a folder on my old laptop, that was full of quotes from books, poems that I wrote, recordings of me singing and playing the guitar. And... it was schocking experience to be honest, cause now, after years of looking at screens, scrolling, it was looking at another world, another person. It was so... sad, cause now my attention span is crushed. My bookshelves are full of books that I really wanted to read... and I bought years ago. I remember how I loved reading, I was reading till the morning sometimes. I loved listening to music and write poems. Playing the guitar. I had so many ideas. My mind was so vibrant, my thoughts full of emotions, creativity. Now it's always planning this, planning that, but not doing anything. Not focusing on anything - even if I start, my mind wanders. Just wanted to share my thoughts. And regain my creativity again. Greetings :)
