Creators and addictions

It's 7:03 am in Vilnius as I'm writing this. I got up a half hour before and started answering people's comments on Steem. Yesterday I worked late in the evening to draw my Pinky and Spiky comic and a sketch with geese.

Maybe I shouldn't do this? Maybe I should take more rest and the first things I do in the morning shouldn't be Steeming?

Maybe I could go for a walk or a run outside while the weather still isn't hot?

Maybe...

Maybe I'm addicted to the internet. But not all internet. I barely spend time on FB where all my organist friends are. The reason for this all Steemians know very well - FB return on attention is very small. For most people non-existent.

I'm still livestreaming my organ music there and posting organ related stuff because my organ engagements in part come because of my activity on FB. I cannot deny it.

But it's not direct result. It's not like on Steem you get an upvote and this upvote is worth something.

Plus I sometimes share my Steem posts there and it's good for Steem visibility, I think.

Now my urge to use a phone and my bluetooth keybord and start Steeming in the morning or in the evening or during the day might seem like addiction. And to a certain degree it is.

But it's also like art. You see, I'm a creator at heart. So I'm addicted to creating. And if a day goes by without me creating something in words, pictures, sounds or videos I don't feel right.

In fact, I don't feel entirely right if I don't squeeze composing music in my day. And the last time I did some composing I think was over a week ago. I should do it today even for as little as 15 minutes.

Otherwise it's like a pet silently watching at me and wanting to be fed. And you know what happens if we don't feed our pets every day...

So yes, I'm addicted to creating in multiple mediums but I think it's better than being addicted to scrolling FB feed, watching snippets of YT videos all day long or checking news portals at random intervals just in case to satisfy your FOMO.

It's 7:28 am and I already have a post created.

Now it's time to sit on the organ bench with @laputis before breakfast.
