Ideas are like children. Let them find their way.

You make the thing, then you let the thing go. You have no control over how they - your art - will be received. You must let these parts of your brain go and be interpreted by others as they will interpret them. That's the joy of making stuff. Your art works are like your children. Let them find their way! Letting ideas go is hard, but they come and go from your life. Here is a ramble about that idea with some random stuff that's topic-adjacent at the end. If you want to read the post this ramble is based on, you can do it at this link, but it's not necessary to enjoy this video.

Remember: This is just me thinking out loud in front of a camera, as though we were having a chat at a coffee shop, either about something I wrote or the themes it makes me ponder. Thoughts are often theories. Feel free to add your thoughts or perspectives on the themes in the comments.

About Behind the Streams
Every Monday I write a post on my newsletter, The Stream. Every Friday, I post a video showing the inspiration behind that post. My goal with this channel is to show the creative process - or where my ideas come from, regardless of whether they're good or not, and how to write - to show that ideas can come from anywhere.
