...
i have run out of muse. there is no more that i am able to draw. i have a beautiful picture in my head, yet when i try to paint it or draw it, it never turns out.
ive been feeling depleated. deflated. i dont have the right words still.
...i need something. something... i dont know what it is or what for. ive been searching for it everywhere. in my real life world, and in my imagination.
i yearn for something invisible. i can never find true satisfaction... i am unable to capture the moment in my head. what else am i here for..?
i dont know.... im so lost and confused.
im alone... still
Turn to music.
When all the resources within
Fill yourself with new things- sights, sounds, tastes. Go somewhere you have never gone.
What is inside you will react to these things, and the collision of them will spark new energy.
Go to the world, which you are only one small piece of, and bring something back.
I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

i have tried the sounds of

i will try... nothing where i am holds any interest to my eyes. i see nothing worth bringing back...
everything is dull. many colors but everything is dull. sounds. sights. tastes... i feel unhappy. i am incomplete. a feeling of emptyness haunts me.

I know, I know, music doesn't
I know, I know, music doesn't work for you. But please, try. It can. If you need a selection of music to inspire, I have quite a few links I can give you.
When you are getting ready to go to sleep tonight, add an interesting array of instrumental music onto your mp3 player if you have one.
Something with an intense section contrasting a slow one. Calm versus the storm. Five minutes or more in length. You need enough time to create a story.
Then as you begin to drift off to sleep, put a song on repeat. Create characters, form stories. Allow your mind to become your own personal movie theater and create a short music video out of that melody.
Keep it on repeat. Play it over and over again until you've matched the image in your head to the song.
Eventually you'll drift off to sleep and find more inspiration there.
Do this every night, over and over...until you've seen the images enough to finally record it.
Capture. Simple colors. Nonsense sketches. Scattered ideas.
It doesn't have to match what you imagined.
Rarely will it ever.
But the point is to capture to mood, the feeling, the music contained in that image.
You are not alone.
Stop thinking about it and just do. Do something. Do anything.

Sounds like one nasty
And if that doesn't work, maybe a small break from ye olde paper and pencil. It never works trying to force anything in any case...
Keep in mind, though, this is what works for me, I'm not sure it'll work for you too <___< But maybe it's worth a shot? >w<
I'll try this, Shimmy.
I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.
