This post loosely follows The 'Continuing' Struggle - Part 1 and Part 2, so if you haven't read those entries already, you know what to do ;<)
Dis(co)claimer:
Don't get me wrong, I'm not struggling continually, as a creative. Although I used to think that ( that is: the past me ), but I do tend to struggle with the continuing of projects and I think that's perfectly normal.
There are times, though, when you feel like a project is meant to be, to be finished ( in some kind of form and shape ) and shared with the world. Or at least with some of its inhabitants and - perhaps - with a bunch of aliens/ extraterrestrials too.
Who knows.
So, in other words, I feel like 'The Monster of Disco' is one of these projects.
These days, I know myself quite a lot better than a decade - or two - ago, back when I was still struggling quite a lot, as a person and as a creative.
Let's say that, nowadays, I know when a project is meant to be shared and when it's not just meant to be an Ego feeding, attention seeking thing or something that needs to be shat out, like a massive turd, to make way for the real important stuff or mere therapy to be withheld from anyone else than myself.
Now I think of it, there was a time, back when the Internet was also quite a lot younger, when I hardly shared my creative work with anyone, aside from perhaps with family and a friend or two. When I was ashamed of this side of me. When I was mainly channeling my frustrations, traumas and depression through my work, when it didn't really seem to serve anyone else.
Anyhow, back to The Monster of Disco, this project is clearly being transferred through me with a purpose and therefore it needs to start to show its shiny shoes to people like yous.
added that final s for rhyming purposes
It craves to be heard, by you, instead of being overshadowed by the other monsters ( the negative nellies, voice of resistance, unhelpful voices etc ). And for that to happen, the m of d needs to shine.
It must dance. It has to show its beautiful colorful body and lighten up the dance floor.
It also needs to overcome its shyness, its fear of failure, of possible fame and so on and so forth and its vinconsistency. It needs to show up.
It is the only way.
So, Monster of Disco, wherever you are, please come forward and step into the spotlights.
It is your time
to shine.
We love you (r energy) ✨❤️🔮🕺
Let's see if this works. I know I summoned it before, but it seemed to have gone back into hiding.
If it does so again, I might need to force it to stay, in as friendly and loving a way as possible ;<)
Oh and in case you wondered, the picture above this post shows you The M of D, it's also my profile pic. It came to and through me last year and I can't help but like it, hence me repeating it shamelessly.
