No Inspiration... None at all

A grey day

Rain is pouring down
I stay inside
Trying to find some beauty for inspiration
I'm stuck reading reports, and I feel bored
My passion is gone, I need inspiration
I need to get out, but I don't want to
I need to do fun things, but I can't manage to find some fun things to do

What do you do these days?
Days of total boredom, sadness, and anxiety?
How to deal with the lack of inspiration and feeling that all things are so hard to get done?
Lol, this kind of problem is just a luxury problem, right?
Need to get my thoughts together and begin to act
And maybe I need to smile?
Smile and laugh...

Captured in my mind
Trying to get out, trying to find the reason to smile
I can imagine a vision
A vision of light days and happiness
Far away from reports, rain and lost inspiration
Bright days of joy, I need you!

Days like this come and go. Today I feel so low and uninspired. I feel like I would like to go back to sleep. I have no idea what to write in my thesis, what the heck should we do about it? I haven't been out for a couple of days. I feel tired and like I need to sleep, sleep and sleep.
The world is confirming my feelings today. The world outside shows a grey and rainy day. No sun, no snow, hardly any light.
Some days are like this, and it's OK, even if I don't like them. Now I guess I need to get things done, to find focus and begin searching reports again. Thanks for your time <3

Nice photo! Thanks for Your vote! When You´,r feeling down and out, music is the remedy, maybe some "ska"or reggae woul do! You´r upvoted! Have a nice Sunday!

Ha, ha, yes, your comment makes me smile. Nice and thanks!

Beautiful pictures...
Some days are just 'off' and it's ok... we don't have to be super-productive or super-creative all the damn time! :D
Love the poems too ... and they're proof that the inspiration was there all along... its lack...actually inspired you ;)

Yes it must be OK. I just tend to get frustrated when I'm feeling low or unproductive. I don't like the feeling that hits me when inspiration flies away.
But well out of frustration, sadness or whatever, groves creativity. You are absolutely right about that, even if it's hard to realise at some points.
Thank you <3

you managed to come up with some really neat photos! i especially like that top one, the light and colors. sometimes wanting to go back to sleep is the body telling us it isn't done refreshing.

Thanks my friend :-) Sleep is important yes... And sometimes it feels like I can sleep, sleep, sleep and never feels really refreshed. But this time of the year it's still very dark in Sweden, not many hours daylight. Which isn't very good for the mood, lol.

At such moments, really helps a good comfortable sleep. So don't resist your body. Sleep. When you Wake up, everything will seem much more colorful and happier.

Sleep is important and a great medicine. Thank you! I have slept now and feel a bit better today :-)

I just loved the first pic @kerlund74 nice one :)

Thanks very much, glad you like it!

Thanks! This really makes me smile :-)

im glad

This post really resonates with me today, as I am having this kind of day today. There seems to be a void inside of me, an emptiness that cannot get filled, no matter what I do. Loneliness mixed with boredom and lack of meaning... that is how I describe it. I really like your poem and the confessional tint to it. Keep up the good work and make sure not to let days like these un-inspire you.

I know exactly what you are talking about here... Great way to describe it. Thanks for visiting and for you comment! Hope you will feel better soon <3

Ah .. why are you negative?
we are experiencing similar things. There's a little bit of a fuss in the air ... but try to focus. You are the perfect artist! I liked poetry :)
. HUG.

Yes sometimes life just does this... But focus is great and I'm so glad that you like my photos/art:-) And I think you are an amazing artist as well! Thanks for you comforting and supportive words!

The struggle to find inspiration in daily life is REAL! It doesn't always come. I've learned creative people 'need' boredom... They NEED to feel bored and uninspired sometimes in order to get some creativity in again. Maybe next time just sit and accept? I don't know. I love your picture by the way, especially the purple-orange colors :-)

Yes, true, boredom, sorrow and other things that isn't very pleasant is great for creativity. But sometimes so hard to just accept, but you are absolutely right, thank you!

If you fell uninspired today, you should give time to yourself to get power for tomorrow. Maybe sleeping or resting is the best choice. It is rainy day in Istanbul and I am reviewing my Summer photos. You can check my last goldenhourphotography from last Summer...

Reviewing summer photos is actually a nice idea:) Summer in Sweden is beautiful. I have slept now and feel a bit better today, thank you!

For me, I go outside. Gloomy weather usually looks worse from indoors. Once I'm out moving around, it turns out that rain is just rain. But I live in western Oregon, where it rains a lot, lol.

Outdoors is my best place to be, it's really healing... But some days are harder than others to get out, even if I know it will dome good. Thanks a lot :-)

very beautiful poem!

Best post
