So many choices 〰️ Creative Currents

Published 3 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

If you've been feeling indecisive lately... about your next steps, your direction, your creative path... you’re not alone.
I’ve been sitting in that space too. The messy middle where you can’t see the full picture yet, and everyone else seems so stable and certain.

But here's the thing: There is no need to compare your journey to the journey of others. So here's something I came across lately and I'd love to share with you:

Believe in the timing of your life.

You’re allowed to test, play, ask, explore without forcing a big “ta-da!” moment.

INSPIRATION STATION

Look Up, Not Through

In Rome last week, I sat in front of the Colosseum and realized hundreds of people around me were taking photos… without actually looking at it. Eyes on screens, not on stone.

It reminded me how easy it is to rush through beauty and overwhelm ourselves with comparison or noise.
Maybe the real invitation right now is to slow down, breathe, and let things reveal themselves layer by layer, like history.

Pattern Play

Brushstrokes With No Plan

From my Dolce Mio collection, here’s a sneak peek of a brushstroke pattern that was born from pure intuition: soft icy blue + beige, rough strokes, no map, no direction. Just motion.

It’s a reminder that you don’t have to know the destination to start. Sometimes the best ideas come from unplanned marks, from letting your hand move before the mind catches up.

The Humble Notebook

With so many apps, dashboards, and digital tools, I often forget how grounding pen and paper can be. A simple notebook can hold ideas, plans, scribbles, lists without notifications or distractions. To me, it feels like such a good way to reconnect with oneself.

Try this:
Open a fresh page (yup, that real paper kind) and write whatever comes up. No rules, no structure. Just you and your thoughts.

Clarity often follows simplicity.

Morning Pages

If you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure, morning pages a la "The Artist's Way" can be magic. And here is how they work:
Write three pages of anything every morning: worries, hopes, confessions, dreams, or simply, “I don’t know what to write.”

And once you’ve poured it out, end with three tiny things you’re grateful for.
Or three ideas.
Or three wishes.

These tiny practices make decisions lighter, because your mind is no longer holding everything at once.
