well, I did it. I fcking did it. I came out to my parents as trans this morning. and they still love me. and they still support me. that was one of the hardest things I've done. I'm so happy that neither of them freaked out or anything. holy fuck. I'm so lucky I have cool parents who aren't phobic.

This is the single most important advice any creative person needs to hear. There are of course factors such as financial insecurity or mental and physical impediments (spoons ≠ motivation even though people will tell you they are the same) but when you can, do, whether you feel inspired or not.

A big misconception is that you need to be motivated to get rolling.
You don't.
Research: Motivation often FOLLOWS action, not the other way around.
In Practice: You don't need to feel good to get going; you need to get going to give yourself a chance at feeling good.
