week 12.
in this final weel, we acknowledge the inherently mysterious spiritual heart of creativity. We address the fact that creativity requires receptivity and profound trust- capacities we have developed through our work in this course. We set our creative aims and take a special look at last-minute sabotage. We renew our commitment to the use of the tools. - Julia Cameron

A solo trip from Vigo to Madrid never fails.
I downloaded some episodes of the series I'm watching (Citadel, I recommend it). I mixed work with some entertainment.
This week you may take yourself to a bar, cafeteria or restaurant. Get a coffee and a snack. Read or write, or watch an episode of your favourite TV show
emotional reflections.
This week has been a bit tiring due to exams. I admit it. Creating content with so many other things to do is exhausting. However, this week I went to have dinner at a sushi buffet, yet it was something special. A collaboration. OMG. So exciting.
Honestly, if this had happened a few months ago, the mix of university exam stress and the pressure of a brand deal would have sent me into a complete spiral. I would have spent the entire dinner agonizing over the perfect aesthetic angles and stressing about whether the algorithm would push the final video.
But this time, it just felt... fun. I ate amazing food, I shot the content naturally, and I didn't let the performative pressure ruin the actual real-life moment.
Week 12 is the final chapter of the book, and it’s all about "recovering a sense of faith." Landing this collaboration right at the finish line feels like the universe literally validating this entire project. It is the ultimate proof that stepping back, protecting my mental health, and refusing to be a slave to the "Frontstage" didn't kill my digital presence—it actually made it stronger. Brands are noticing the authentic version of me, not the burnt-out one.
I started this 12-week journey completely exhausted, paralyzed by perfectionism and algorithmic anxiety. I am ending it surviving my exams, landing collaborations, and actually liking the content I make again. The messy, behind-the-scenes reality is still there—content creation is still work—but my mind is finally a safe place to create from. We actually did it.
