Ventings of an AADD

Artistic Attention Deficit Disorder

1 note

AADD.

So, you follow this blog. What is it?

Well, AADD is something I made up. Artistic Attention Deficit Disorder.

It isn’t anything special. I diagnose it as

“The inability to focus on just one artistic project at a time.”

and/or

“High tendency in becoming bored/fed up with current artistic projects.”

I have this. In some way shape or form it just pains me to be stuck on one project for more than a week or so. It PAINS me. And it fucking kills me creatively. That’s why I create create create until I’m just up to my eyes in work, like a drug addict who keeps realizes he has an addiction and breaks down. It sucks. It hurts. And it’s slowly ruining me. I hate it. Sure, it feels great to be so creatively inclined, but in the end, it burns me at both ends. I lose sleep, I lose sanity, I get angry, I become fed up. It just… sucks. In the end, this is where I splurge. Get my ideas out in the open. My thoughts, my feelings. And so it doesn’t cram up my other blogs. I’m sure many artists feel the same way as I do. It just… it just really sucks when doing something you love ends up being the one thing that’s holding you down.

Sometimes I sit and think about all I could be doing doing something else. But I don’t know what that something is. I don’t want to give up film, but I need a break from it. Or something. Or I need to stop class and just absolve myself into some new project. Something to get me into a different mindset. I don’t know. It’s a weird feeling. But I know I can’t stop. It’s become my job. But what I want… is another job. One that changes my day around. Spend the day working at a bar or coffeeshop or construction site, then spend my thoughtful nights creating things. God damn it, classes.

I gotta stop drinking coffee in the labs. I think it’s making me less alert, and more jumpy and clausterphobic. x.x; Shit.
