The next time you feel a bit battered, like you’re at the mercy of circumstance, make something. Literally create something that did not exist until this moment. It can be a weird poem that doesn’t rhyme. A doodle on a napkin, a painting, a playlist. It can be a journal entry or a meal you’ve never made before. Draw wobbly circles on that Amazon packaging you haven’t take out to recycling. Putting something into the world that exists simply because we decided to make it so hands us a bit of our power back, reminding us that nobody can stop us from leaving our mark on the world.
