Google translation journaling:
When I think back to my childhood of things that really made me happy, being creative is one of them. I can remember that I was always working on different projects and that I didn't care at all what someone thought of it and whether the result was really nice. Just having fun without judgement. I did jewelry making, origami, making cards, painting, drawing, sewing and what not. And somewhere in time all that creative stopped. I went to work full time, had children and there was simply no room for it in my head. In recent years it has been bubbling again, I get all kinds of creative ideas again, only now I often get in my own way. Isn't this crazy? Shouldn't I be doing something more useful? Don't others find this strange? This looks very childish! I would like to find that open-mindedness as a child again. Just crawling into a creative bubble without judgment, without finding anything stupid or weird. Just be creative, for the sake of being creative. Don't make things with a purpose, and certainly not with the goal that it has to be perfect. That makes me feel good, that makes me happy! I learned that as a little girl.
Sweet photo of you as a little girl and interesting journaling. I know the feeling of always having to color inside the lines. Now in my senior years I am fighting the battle of releasing my creativity in my own way without judgment or comparison with others. You have made a beautiful page here and I often admire your layouts in the gallery.
I love the creativity on your layout and your journaling is wonderful! Beautiful perspective and insight and I love your final thoughts - do what makes you happy! the best lesson in my opinion. Thanks for participating in the challenge.
Wonderful journaling and I think many of us have been there. I've come to if I loke/love it that is enough. Your page is fabulous. Keep on create things
Such a beautifully scrapped page, I really like the pop of blue of the flower amidst the neutral tones of the rest of the page. And yes, I understanding the creating whilst overthinking what others may think, like that really matters!
