I love everything you said here so much! I think about rivers a lot when I'm thinking about my creativity. Sometimes I'm the water, moving along with the rush of ideas, and sometimes I'm the rock stuck in the sediment, resting until the current picks me up again. I've learned to trust that I'll always find my way back into the flow of things, and you will too! I love that you're finding inspiration in other places and giving yourself grace with it all. And thank you for the shout out! I'm so happy my oversharing resonated with you 😂💕
I love this MacKenzie! I, too, for a long time thought of creativity as solely connected to creating art of some kind. But, you're right, there are so many ways to be creative and it's so beautiful when you embrace that thought. Have you read The Creative Act by Rick Rubin or Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert? I enjoyed both and they both helped, in different ways, expand my view of creativity.
I love this! One way I've been trying to get my creativity flowing is to get off Instagram. I know its a nice place to get inspiration, but I sometimes feel that I don't let myself come up with an idea.

🤎 a wonderful analogy and one I feel deeply. Speaking for myself—I love your overshares and find myself resonating with them—so keep them coming!

I haven’t read either. I’ve heard of Big Magic. Maybe I’ll need to snag that from my library. Thanks for the rec! Glad this resonated with you, too 🤎

Ooh I 100% agree with you there. I think I need to delete that app from my phone for a while.
I agree and appreciate the recognition that creativity isn't just *art*.
It's easy to get into a rut in one medium and sometimes getting out requires thinking outside the box in other areas
Glad this resonated with you too 🥰
