Art Guilt

Fork In The Road

The shame. The guilt. It ain’t a way for fully grown adult to behave.Surely there’s something more productive you can be doing with your time. Cleaning the house, Folding the tea towels, Grooming the Guinea Pigs or emptying the kitty litter. Surely there’s a better use of your time rather than painting, drawing and playing like some kind of child.. That’s art guilt. …Maybe if I could make money from it, I could justify the ridiculous waste of time. … but do you really need to get paid to justify your creative time? I’m like a lot of other creative people, we become miserable when we aren’t creating. So if the only thing that art does is make you a happier person. Isn’t that a good reason to create? A good reason to schedule guilt free time. So you can show up happier in the other parts of your life, and most importantly fold tea towels with a smile on your face.
