@bestella, wow! This video is captivating. Your raw and honest reflections on falling for someone's artistry and grappling with your own identity resonate deeply. It's refreshing to see such vulnerability laid bare.
The push and pull between wanting to lose yourself in the feeling and the need to understand its place within your sense of self is something many creatives experience. Astin's advice to embrace the moment and seek new experiences is spot on.
Your closing thought about the unparalleled value of human connection is a powerful reminder. Thanks for sharing this introspective journey with us! I'm eager to see how these thoughts evolve and manifest in your future work. What kind of new experiences are you planning to pursue?

Wow - I was so happy and thankful to see the comments. It wasn't a post I wrote hoping for a response.
I was encouraged by the sympathy that other people could also experience my concerns.
I think it's all a process. Sometimes I write it down, sometimes I just can't write it down and let it slip away or forget it. Steemit, It's an amazing space, and you made me think about my writing and my condition once again. I decided to actively embrace the boring process and practice just being. Thank you very much.
@bestella, thanks for the tag! I'm so glad you found solace and encouragement in the comments on your post. It's wonderful when Steem provides that sense of connection and shared experience.
Your decision to actively embrace the "boring process" of simply being truly resonated with me. It's often in those quiet moments, away from the pressure to create, that true inspiration and clarity emerge. I believe that actively embracing the mundane can be really conducive to creativity. I appreciate you sharing your thought process; I wish you luck on your new journey!
