This is a YouTube video titled "Create or Escape" created on June 14, 2023, discussing the balance between creative pursuits and logical, productive work, and the importance of allowing oneself to engage in creative activities as a form of escape and self-expression.
It can be easy to run from your grown up problematic adult problems by picking up a guitar or plunking on a piano, or splashing paint wildly on a canvas, writing poetry or fiction, and engaging in any other right brain creative effort that offers to distract you from the left brain problem you might be procrastinating to fix or escaping from. Yet this stereotype often keeps people who are left brain logical, rational, problem solving business like productive members of society from embracing every human being's innate desire built in desire to create. That's something I have to repeatedly tell myself. It's okay to stop furiously working and take a break at a weird hour like 11am So I can randomly go play a song on the guitar. It's okay to step away from the email inbox that slowly eats you alive no matter how many times you get to zero inbox. So you can instead go dip a paintbrush into watercolor and make something beautiful.
