What better to build the mood of a new year while still fighting burnout from the last one than another little rebranding once again, am I right? 😂 Gotta enjoy the perks of never getting famous! 🤷🏻♀️
I never felt 100% happy with my previous brand names, so that was bound to happen eventually. I like the more descriptive and broader concept of this new one. And I kept "by Lumy" so it didn't really change that much, I guess. But, I don't know, don't get too attached 'cause apparently, I have a thing for getting a new domain right before the old one renews for one more year. 🙈
Now, that brings us to a theme I want to talk about here: consistency. Everyone talks about it as the holy secret to growing on IG nowadays. Well, it'll just never happen to me then. 🤣 Because the whole essence of who I am is exactly the opposite of that. I'm not consistent. And nothing in my life is, honestly. I have phases. My health has phases. My creativity has phases. And that's just how things are and have always been. That won't change all of a sudden now because an algorithm wants me to work for free.
So, what I'm saying is: that's is my plan for the future around here, as well as my new approach to my work, my creativity and everything I want to do from now on. In the end, I think if I didn't overdo as much during the months I'm feeling good, I'd probably be able to keep working during those (at least) 3 months per year that I spend completely burnt out and considering giving up on everything.
In summary, balance is the word for this year. I also think I urgently need to recalibrate my priorities. Because my one and real answer to "What do you do for a living?" at this moment is "I keep my mental health state in check. What I do for my occupation is just a small help to achieve that."
No more abusive schedules, crazy trends, and shaping creativity to fit in. I want to backtrack to that passionate state that art was always about to me. ❤️
Oh, by the way, the mascot kitty wallpapers are available in the store! 😁 Check it out here!
