There was a time in my life when I believed I wasn’t creative.
Maybe you’ve had a version of that too, a moment when you compared your creative self-expression to someone else’s and decided yours wasn’t “right.”
I used to think that creativity looked a certain way: drawing well, writing the “correct” way, making things that matched the model.
And when my creations didn’t meet this perceived external marker, I quietly, yet deliberately started opting out of creativity altogether.
I even began to say out loud when asked, “I’m not creative”
I see now what so many of us do…
🌹 We confuse creativity with conformity.
🌹 We assume if our process looks different, it must be wrong.
🌹 We forget that inspiration doesn’t follow a blueprint.
Your creativity doesn’t care about fitting in.
It’s not concerned with being polished or perfect.
Because creativity is alive.
It’s messy.
It’s mysterious.
It moves in cycles, and it wants to be met, not managed.
In my dance with my inspired creativity, I’ve learned not to push through.
I know that what wants to move through me is unique to me and has a flavor of its own.
Instead I walk. I listen. I let the land hold me. I open to the wider field of intelligence that wants to co-create with me.
So sweet one, the part of you that’s felt blocked or behind or unoriginal… what if it is just waiting to be met with
💖 A little more gentleness.
💖 A little more permission.
💖 A little more devotion.
What is at the heart of what you are exploring right now?
What is your real creative process?
What gets in the way?
What opens you?
How would it feel to create something that is entirely yours, even if it doesn’t look like what anyone else is doing?
Because creativity isn’t something you have to go find.
It’s already inside you, waiting to be reclaimed.
