✨ When I Don’t Know What I’m Doing (and That’s the Best Part)

This is going off the prompt of a few days ago. On what subject do you have authority on.

There’s a strange kind of pressure that sneaks into creativity. This sense that we’re only allowed to share our work when we’re “good enough,” or speak on a topic when we have it all figured out. But here’s the honest truth: half the time, I have no clue what I’m doing. And I think that’s actually the most exciting part.

We think creativity is about arriving at something brilliant. But honestly, I think it’s more about getting lost. When you’re not aiming to impress, you’re free to notice. To try. To play. Sometimes, the mess leads somewhere magic. Other times? Not so much. And that’s okay too. There’s a quiet kind of power in simply making without expecting perfection.

If you ever feel stuck because you’re not “an expert,” I want to tell you: curiosity is enough. You are allowed to create things even when you’re unsure. Especially when you’re unsure. That’s how you find your voice—not by knowing everything, but by showing up anyway.

So here’s my gentle invitation:
Make something this week that you don’t know how to finish. Let it be messy. Let it teach you something. You never know what you’ll discover by not knowing. And if you feel brave share it here or on your own blog.
