@ChrisJWilson Fully agree with that. I looked for some quotes about creativity and came across this by Sylvia Plath: “The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt” which is a similar sentiment. Maybe that vulnerability is partly because creativity needs imagination, which is deeply unique and personal.

@ddykstal I've come to think of creativity as the skill of silencing the voices that say 'this isn't good enough' or 'this needs to be perfect’. Everyone can create, but not everyone has the confidence to put stuff out into the world. I admire those who do.
