The Toll



I used to always wonder why I always feel so tired and exhausted after I finish a project. I had always assumed that my fatigue was the result of lack of sleep but recently, I’ve come to a completely different realization. When a person creates from a place that originates from their heart and soul, there is a toll.
It is one thing to follow trends, mimic whatever is popular and copycat others but, it is a completely different thing to create something original, thoughtful, created with passion that is also unique. Being that type of artist or creator comes with a price. The more time I spend creating is the more I become drained and the more time I need to recover. Those quiet moments that I need to spend alone to recharge are often misinterpreted as me being distant, or unavailable.
I am starting to believe that people who aren’t actively engaged in being creative on a regular basis simply can’t relate. Every time I sit down to write I pay the price, willingly.
