Existential - Always on Sunday

Sometimes I'm feeling like losing the elementary of my private logic. This misery happens to me mostly on Sundays and always just before the sunset. Today the "Sunday syndrome" hits again! Drastically! What happens is that usually, nothing really creative happens on Sunday. At least this is the main symptom, the reason for the panic crisis that follows the first wave of depressive and abstract sentiments invading the brain's defensive bunkers... It is absurd, on Sundays I feel so tired of what I create, and I can't conceive its value. In fact, I don't accord any value to anything I create until it provides a proof of value by itself... There is one and only way for this to be done, the approval from the public if there is one. Approval could mean a sell, an upvote, a "like", even a nice message, an adoption or a significant trend towards adoption, etc.

Any creation has its value defined by the use, the utility, the positive psychological impact, the interest that generate, and mostly the new ideas that could inspire the public.

Creation is not a static word describing the narrow spaces of predefined artistic trends. Creation is what everybody achieves at any moment of everyday life, and creations that stimulate the collective consciousness are classified as "artistic".

Creations are segments of our untold expectations, sometimes... it could happen spontaneously. Nevertheless, creators rarely expect the success to come from these "unexpected" creations, inspired by deep, untold, secret expectations. When it is the case, we are happy to get a reward for something we don't expect to be successful, this is the creators' paradox, a sweet-bitter moment! Because in fact, it is the moment of vindication or kind of, but a vindication engendered by the unexpected success, not by what the creator-artist would like to be rewarded... An existential crisis in progress! It is a moment hard to manage. You might wonder about a lot of things when suddenly you are on the top, especially when success comes from something you did not expect. Sometimes it's hard to realize that this "spontaneous" creation, this "draft" you rejected at first sight, and then you decided to let it be, to not throw it away, this creation won the "jackpot"! This is probably the most genuine piece of art produced ever by any artist. The unexpected masterpiece.

A personal note. Always on Sunday.
