It doesn’t have to take longer. It doesn’t have to hurt. It doesn’t need to break you. That view of creativity is done. Stop trying to justify ideas by if they almost crushed your will to live or not. Did they cause you to lose friends, almost end your marriage, or never get any sleep for an entire goddamn week because you put in all the nighters you could? Na, fuck that. Grow up, work during normal hours, then go home and do home stuff. Get up, repeat. Done and done.
It doesn’t need to be painful.
You can choose to decide to make the entire process from beginning to end better. It’s in your hands.
Now go.
It’s that simple.
