A year ago today I started writing a story with the goal of it becoming a manga and one day an anime. Crazy. So in honor of that ima post a thread on the importance of listening to the kid inside of you, tapping into your artistic talents, and believing in yourself https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏌🏾‍♂️" title="Man golfing (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Man golfing (medium dark skin tone)">

365 days later and I have amassed ~300 pages and over 60,000 words. I promise you when I started I didn’t 100% believe I’d get this far. But part of me creating this thread is to use this as a tool of accountability and to speak life into my beliefs

Since I was a kid I’ve always wanted to write, but I never thought of myself as that creative. I didn’t think I was artistic. I didn’t think I had anything to say that was worth anyone listening to, but I’ve grown quite a lot

But what is art? Art is subjective. There is no standard. No measuring stick unless you’ve put it there yourself. Art can only be defined by you and what you believe it to be. So free yourself. Go create
