Mild Ecstasy
"There is a curiously sharp sense of joy - or perhaps better expressed, a sense of mild ecstasy - that comes when you find the particular form required by your creation."
This particular quote resonates deeply with me as both a visual artist and writer. When I'm ruminating on an idea that I want to bring to life, it often takes time to "fully bake" in my mind. But when that moment comes - when everything clicks into place and I can clearly see how I want to craft my creation - I get a rush of joy unlike any other kind of happiness. It's something I believe all creative people experience, and there is nothing that makes me a more Joyful Queer! This very blog you're reading (and hopefully are subscribed to) provides countless treasures like that for me.
