Yes, Robin! Creativity is absolutely dangerous! I have felt this to be true. Sad that the thing we need most, we push away, we box in, in order to keep safe. Safety is an illusion. Creativity is life! Reminds me of a poem I wrote - we were put here/strange and beautiful/not to be caged and quiet/but to flare up like flame/and run free.
This is why most of my writing and creative planning comes before my “day job” stuff.
I'd love to say "Same," but my honest answer is that I'm working on it and gradually getting better. 😅
Well, when I try to write in the evenings or in between work stuff, I feel it’s more of a chore, something to hurry up and get done 😵💫
It comes first for me or it doesn't happen.

Beautiful words, Joce! If you haven't already, I hope you frame those words with some gorgeous art, print them out, and frame them on your wall!
