It's Officially Summer

90 degree weather in March has gotten me in a closet cleaning frenzy of clearing out any kind of clothing that goes past my limbs and in an inspiration frenzy of scanning tumblr pictures of patterns and tank tops instead of trapper hats and coats with cropped pants.
So, here's to the beginning of an early summer! One filled with joy rides, waves, popsicles, pink, orange, and yellow.

do what you love


"Books are smart and brilliant and wise. Love what you do and do what you love. Don't listen to anyone else who tells you not to do it. You do what you want, what you love. Imagination should be the center of your life." - Ray Bradbury

I've been on this weirdly intense creative overload which has consisted of me foraging for anything related to letting your imagination run wild, putting pen to paper, and doing what I love.
But how can I do what I love when I love too many things?
I recently took a Skillshare class on Adobe Lightroom and it's inspired me to rummage through my iPhoto albums and play around with tints and shadows and also go out shooting more, which I have yet to do...
I love experiencing new creative art forms and want to stretch my limits but deep down, I'm scared. My perfectionist self is keeping me from splattering paint and being okay with making mistakes.
How can I overcome this? 
How can I be bold?
