Art is an action

Fri Mar 13, 2009, 1:09 PM
You know... I'm not perfect, I've got my flaws, but there is one thing I am the master at.

Procrastination.

That's right, I procrastinate at home, I procrastinate at work, I procrastinate in public... I am procrastinating right now! All this procrastinating keeps me so busy that I don't have time to do anything at all! The sad thing about that, is that my conscience gets the best of me. I can't let myself do fun things until all of my responsibilities are finished. I have WAY too many responsibilities for me to ever find the time to do something fun! The conflict comes in when I realize that my art is very important to me... I would even call it a "responsibility" to keep it up, but I don't make the time for it because I know that my kids, my homework, cleaning around the house, laundry, paying bills, and many more things are more "important". But are they? I would love to spend time doing my art WITH my kids...although the baby would get into any supplies and eat them, then proceed to decorate the house with them, while my two older ones would just fight over them. We do it sometimes, but if I take out the art stuff, it's so THEY can create something, and I'm running around cleaning up after them until I'm exhausted and we do something else. Everything else has a deadline... homework has to be turned in by a certain time, laundry has to be done or we have nothing to wear... my art just keeps getting pushed back and back. I don't feel that I can truly call myself an artist if I never make the time to create! I do have plans though.. and I am not one to just plan and talk and never DO. I am a "do-er". I have this profile up to help motivate me...and one day when I make that time to create, possibly at the expense of sleep, I will do it, I will upload it, and I will feel more accomplished and complete. For now, I work on what I do best. Procrastinating.
