Intimidated by starting back up

Hey guys, I am looking for some advice and/or encouragement.

For the last few years I was working two jobs and only had two days off a month and struggled to even do basic chores, forget about making time to do creative activities. Well I finally have a regular 5 days a week 8 hours a day job. I was so excited to finally have time to create again!

Well… I’m here. Sitting in my apartment on my evening off, not dead exhausted. I don’t have to immediately go to bed in order to be up early to go work all day tomorrow. I am actually caught up on chores. I have free time! And I’m just like… wait how? What?

I mostly like to draw and paint, pens and water colors and acrylics. Sometimes I do random other crafts but drawing and painting are my favorite for sure. I’m just not sure how to get back into it. I don’t know what I want to paint or draw, and I’m scared that once I do get an idea, it’ll be too ambitious for my current dilapidated skill set. But even worse is the nagging guilt of “omg you finally have time for your art why aren’t you arting?!”

So if anyone has any tips or ideas or whatever, I’d love to hear them. Thanks for reading 🖤
