REDISCOVERING CREATIVITY AS AN ADULT

The Vanishing Artist: Why Growing Up Made You Forget to Draw (And How to Wake That Creative Side Again)


Where Did the Artist Go?

Once upon a time, there was an artist—full of imagination, colour, and chaos. But then... They grew up.

Poof! Interest gone. Motivation? Missing. Sketchbook? Gathering dust under a mountain of college notes and grown-up responsibilities.

Are You One of Us?
If yes, take a second and ask yourself: why did it stop?

The answer is surprisingly simple. We grew up. We got busy. We stopped being part of the world of sketching, doodling, and dreaming.

Do you remember how you used to draw that “classic” sun between two mountains with a river flowing through the valley? Be honest—you kind of miss that, don’t you?
I’m a Visual Echo Artist (And Maybe You Are Too)
Some people can draw anything they see—they’re like human scanners. But when it comes to pure imagination? That’s where the pencil freezes.
That’s me. A Visual Echo Artist.
I can recreate what I see—anime characters, cool designs, screenshots from life—but ask me to come up with something original, and it’s like my imagination forgot to clock in.

So, What Happened?

Life. That’s what.

We got tangled in semester exams, swamped in college projects, and glued to future goals.And somewhere in that chaos, our sketchbooks got replaced by planners.
Creativity? Missing.
Energy? Don't ask.
Me? I’m so lazy, my morning starts at 12 PM. Breakfast is basically lunch.

If you’re a morning person who’s up at 7 AM—respect.
Me? My brain enters “art mode” sometime after sunset. Maybe.

Yes, I Still Got Talent (Sort Of...)
Even now, I can still draw. But only if I’m looking at something. My imagination?
It’s on vacation... without telling me.

There are people out there who can both replicate and imagine. Legends. If that’s you—and you've stopped drawing—why, bro? What happened?

Forget the “Faltu Ka Gyaan” and Do 

Here’s the truth: if you love something, and you’re good at it, don’t let it go just because you’re busy or someone gave you random advice that didn’t even make sense.

Draw. Paint. Scribble.
But be smart too—learn, explore, grow, and understand what you’re doing. Treat your talent with care.

Not Everyone Has This Power!!

Remember back in school, in Biology class, when your diagrams were so good everyone came running to you like:
“Bhaiii, ek drawing bana de na yaar…”

That felt good, right?
That’s your creative spark. Don’t let it fade away just because you’ve grown up.

Your Inner Artist is Sleeping, Not Gone
You’re not talentless. You’re just tired.
You’re not uncreative. You’re just disconnected.
That artist inside you? Still there. Just snoozing.
Wake them up. Gently. Or with a sharp pencil.


Still got that sketchbook? Open it. Draw something—anything. Don’t judge it, just enjoy it. Post it. Share it. Bring back the joy. And if you're a fellow “Visual Echo Artist,” let's challenge ourselves to imagine again—one sketch at a time

Unlocking the Hidden Power of the Universe: How Positive Energy and Self-Belief Can Change Your Life

From Curiosity to Confidence: The Power Beyond Science Have you ever felt something so powerful, so unexplainable, that it didn’t quite fit inside the box of science? Something you couldn’t explain—but you knew was real? I have. There’s a kind of energy that surrounds us. You can’t see it, but you can feel it. It’s always there—quiet, subtle, waiting. Some of us believe in it. Others don’t. That’s okay. Everyone walks their own path. But to me? It feels like magic. Not rabbits-in-hats kind of magic, but a real, deeper kind—soul magic. This energy carries positive vibes. It uplifts. It connects. Some people are aware of it. Some feel it without even realizing. And some—well—they haven’t noticed it yet . Now let me ask you something: have you ever been stuck, totally convinced that you just couldn’t do something—and then blamed yourself for it? “I can’t do this.” “I’m not enough.” “I always mess things up.” We’ve all been there. But that’s where the real trouble starts. The words we say ...

ALONE ON MY BIRTHDAY: AN UNEXPECTED STRANGER CHANGED EVERYTHING

  The Most Unexpected (and Kinda Crazy) Birthday of My Life It was one of the best days of my life—my birthday! I woke up like a Bollywood MAIN CHARACTER💁, all dramatic and happy, thinking “Today is my day, world!” I was chilling, feeling like the main character, until reality hit me harder than😐 a Monday morning. I suddenly remembered... both my best friends were on vacation😒. Yes, on my birthday.  The betrayal felt like a plot twist in a low-budget soap opera. I was walking to school all alone, and no, it didn’t feel like a cool solo movie scene—it felt like sadness with a backpack😓. On the way, I started talking to myself. Not whispering—full-on conversations. If someone saw me👀, they’d probably assume I was arguing with an invisible ghost👻. Then I reached the bus stop, and just when I thought the day couldn’t get weirder… it did😩. Standing there was this guy —tall, handsome, well-dressed—like he had walked straight out of an Instagram reel with a 3-step skincare r...

THE BOY WHO DESERVE EVERYTHING GOOD

Image
  The Boy I Know – A Story from the Heart There’s a boy we all know.....💗  A boy who walks quietly but carries a thousand silent battles within. He looks so handsome, so calm, so collected on the outside—like everything is perfect—but only he knows the storms he hides behind that soft smile❤. He doesn’t even know how beautiful he truly is. His face reflects a rare innocence, a soft kind of strength, and that precious smile—it holds more stories than words ever could. T hey say people who smile the most often carry the deepest wounds. And I see that in him. I don’t know why he keeps his pain hidden, why he doesn’t speak it out loud. But I know this—he is strong. Stronger than most. Stronger than he even realizes. He works hard every single day, not for praise or glory, but for love, for responsibility, for the people he holds dear. He believes he doesn’t deserve happiness yet—because maybe he thinks he hasn’t earned it. But he deserves everything. He deserves love, peace, and...
