From Sunstroke:

We completely empathize with your struggle of not feeling like you can communicate all of your fiery, inner creativity to the outside world. Annoying as it is, creative energy can never fully be channelled to a degree of satisfaction – there’s just so much of it inside of us that we cannot funnel all of it out! But this is a good thing! It’s an artist’s insatiable desire to express that drives them. Besides, the very life of an artist is always art in and of itself. Something as simple as documenting your daily life can be enough to establish the accomplishing feeling of speaking out to to the world through art. When it comes to relieving restlessness, it is usually more about finding an outlet and the feeling of release that comes with it, rather than the medium or artwork itself.
