Is creativity limitless?
i feel like i used to be super creative when i was younger and i'm scared that it has waned and left this empty shell of a person that is creativeless. everyone can create, correct? being in a work environment drains me of any creative juices that come naturally. placing a creative person in a business/office environment is extremely toxic, it's toxic for the soul, it demands energy on tasks that don't stimulate any part of your being. the only natrual defense is to become a machine, processing things without thinking, respond without listening, hit send without proofreading. this way you can turn yourself off, as if in hibernate mode. the only danger is not being able to turn back on. i know i'm a creative person, but i'm beginning to question whether my creativity has plateaud. i blame it on my work environment, perhaps away from my work environment i would be more creative becuase i would have more opportunities to be creative. i know who i am. i've always known who i am. there was no period of wondering or wandering. even more, i accept and like the person i am. of course i have flaws, but i'm working on them. i'm confident without being conceited because everyone know that the two are different and one is more attractive then the other. i want to write, i want to create, i want to connect to people through stories. i know i have a long road ahead, there is so much that needs to be learned, and this is absolutely daunting, however what is more is if i were to stay at my job and have it turn into a career i never wanted, but have always had. i'm intelligent, i have people skills, i'm likeable, i'm attractive (this is always subjective), and i know i would be successful at whatever i choose to do, but a career in creativity is much more challenging and this intimidates me. there is always going to be someone more likeable, more creative, more attractive , more intelligent, and so on, but this should only encourage me to work harder. right now i need the guidance of a higher power to confirm my decision to change my situation and take a risk. the only thing is, i've never been a good hearer, i think i'm a wonderful listener, but hearing is completely different. i need to be centered, i need to be focused. i think i've always walked confidently thorughout life, even as a child becuase i knew something great was meant for me. that sound totally narcissistic, even to me, but tomorrow i'm going to start hearing something more than the sound of the distinct silence.
