Do people become depressed from watching sad movies?
Happily ever after is my thing.
I always like to be hopeful and believe that happiness is coming.
However, this series is testing my patience.
I’ve been seeing Grey’s anatomy for a while now.
It’s an old series. Saw a Clíp on social media and decided to check it out.
It paints a picture of the life of surgeons. Their work life, family, friendships, experiences, good or bad.
As a surgeon your everyday life is a mystery. Sometimes, you save a life, at other times you don’t.
Even though more lives are lost than saved in this movie.
You can even save a live and they end up not having a life because an organ is damaged.
In your bad days, you have to hold on to the good ones - whether they are in your past or future.
You have to believe there’s a reason you do what you do, else you’ll lose your mojo, and drop out of the race.
This applies to our lives as creatives and creators.
Some days, you feel the spark and magic that comes with what you do. You are happy, motivated and cheerful.
At other days you feel unmotivated but not sad.
Then there are days you question everything you’ve ever known. You question your competence, essence and diligence.
You wonder why you became a creative. Are you even good at it or are you an impostor?
On days like this, it is your why, your friends and family that will keep you going.
Don’t learn a skill just because you can. Find a why.
What can you hold onto when you feel tired and discouraged? What will push and motivate you?
Do you have friends? Or have you made your laptop and electricity the only friends you have?
Do you have someone to call when you want to unwind or vent?
Do you still have a family or just blood-relations?
Remember, when the going gets tough, it is the people with a support system that stays in the game.
Find yours and hold onto it.
SHINE…
