Dear Steemit Diary: 365 days of My Creative Journey | Day 1: My Purpose | @Kawthar

Hello Steemians! Happy June!

About Me:

My name is Kawthar. I'm a 20-something college student, artist, amateur photographer, food lover, and newbie Steemian/blogger. I love learning and exploring new creative outlets and this diary of sorts to document 1 year of my life doing just that.

My Purpose:

I'm starting this journal as way to document my creative process, projects, ideas, and thoughts for a year. I want to do this to have something to look back at. I want it to be a visual record of my process. An accomplishment to look back at and say I did that.

The Media:

I plan to use any media I chose that day. This journal is to capture the day to day process organically. I will film, take pictures, write, draw, spill my thoughts, etc. This is a record of my day-to-day. And because day-to-day is forever changing and unexpected, this journal will be too.

Goal:

I hope through this diary, I can push my self and the limits of my creativity. As well as to find my true artistic calling(callings?).

My Comfort Zone:

Committing to something like this is way way way out of my comfort zone. I tend to not be able to consistently keep up with things and I get burnt out pretty quickly. Hopefully this journey will teach me to push through the burnout and embrace it as a part of the process. A necessary, contributive part of the process and not just a hindrance.

Perfectionism:

I also want this diary to be a means of defeating my desire for my art to be perfect before I can share it. I tend to never want to share my work until I feel like it's good enough. I always want to hide it until I feel like it's up to par. I don't want to do that anymore(at least about some of my work). I want to share more because I feel like there is beauty and awesomeness in the works in progress as well. This diary gives me 365 days to prove that to myself.

Completion:

My goal for completing the challenge is to take it day by day. And to look a the day to day commitments as cumulative effort to complete the whole challenge.

This Community:

I would love to have you guys read along on my journey. I'm doing this first and foremost for myself, but I am publishing it because a sole part of my mission is to share more. And what better place to do that than on an online blogging platform, right?

Thank you all for reading along and until next time guys,

Peace,

Kawthar
