Yo, real talk—what does your creative morning routine actually look like? Because I swear, if I don’t get that first cup of strong coffee and sit in silence for ten minutes before touching my phone, my whole day feels like soggy plantain. 😅

Lately I’ve been trying to sketch for 15 minutes right after waking up, before the noise creeps in. Sometimes it’s trash, sometimes it’s a seed for something good. But the ritual is what matters, you know?

Drop yours below—no judgment if it involves scrolling in bed or dancing to old Fela tracks while you brew. 👇🏾

the sketching thing is interesting. i tried that with writing but i just end up staring at a blank page and then my cat walks on it lol. i do the coffee and silence thing too though—if i skip it i'm basically a zombie til noon. lately I've been putting on vinyl while i eat breakfast, no phone allowed. it's like my brain gets to wake up slow instead of getting hit with notifications first thing. does the silence part ever get hard for you or is it easy?
