Growing
up I have always been a creative introvert. As artists, we are used to working alone
in isolation for most of the day. We diligently work in our studios, happily
painting and creating and escaping the world around us. It is our safe haven
and bubble. It is where you can express yourself with no judgment, the only
person you are with is you. As an artist, if you work alone in your studio you
are choosing to be alone to create. During these times you do not really have a
choice to be alone. Isolation can make your familiar four walls feel like an
unfamiliar place. You sometimes feel like you are just fading into the
background and slowly losing part of yourself. We have a certain voice that
cannot always be heard. You cannot remember what times were like just a few
short months ago. The “new” normal is so foreign and anxiety is through the
roof. So even if you want to go out meet people, see places, and do things you
do not! Because fear and anxiety are so consuming. It is easier to just stay
home do the same routine, same things, and become a wallflower.
