Your best idea is already dead

This post almost didn't exist.

It’s INSANE how many good ideas, real dreams that die in my head without ever seeing the light of day.
EVERY FUCKING TIME I come up with something, a new drawing, an idea of something I want to make- I feel a force lurking around.

It knows all your internal buttons. It will help you to start things, teasing you to make it, to learn how.

The spark of motivation will open a world of possibilities, new things to study and learn, a new continent to conquer. The trap is set.

Amid this ocean of ideas and things to do, you see that you are not ready.

To make a sticker, you first need to learn how to design.
To publish the newsletter, you first need to know storytelling.
You want to make a post on social media? First, you need a course on branding.
The list goes a long way.
You can always find excuses, and believe me, they will always be convincing.

You become a prisoner of your own doing, drowning in things to do before making the thing you actually wanted to do.
When I blink, the next new idea sounds more interesting, and I archive the old one.
The cycle repeats. We rationalize excuses to better cope with inaction.

This text will never be perfect. I need to send it either way, and I need to send it TODAY because tomorrow will be another day with a new idea.
