A line from the song above has been running through my head all week, "I never had the chance to change the batteries in my watch". It's had me thinking about what I make important and what really is in the broader scheme of my personal goals. Lately I've not been entirely inspired yet it's like I'm bubbling over with creative excitement, and I guess intentions too. I'm not sure whether this is a typical "dry" spell for artists or anyone who feels creative in their pursuits, but I know that I'd like to be as original as possible in what I do. I know that there is an argument that "everything old is [always] new again", and that this adage is even murkier in the Internet age. I've been looking at style sites all week and I still feel this absence of direction and therefore actual productivity in my own pursuits. I'm concerned about how to be myself; I'm not even sure what that is right now. I sometimes think and feel that the Internet is both blessing and curse in terms of originality. The days seem to get away and it's still just a matter of sifting and searching while trying to find something that can connect with you personally. It's strange to feel so overwhelmed, yet also like there's no specific destination. When there is time or isn't enough time, what drives you and keeps you sure of your own artistic intentions?
