Hey Muse, Where Art Though?
We are all inherently creative beings, though many of us may not recognize it.Â
Whether it's the way we solve problems, express emotions, or imagine possibilities, creativity is woven into the fabric of our daily lives.
However, tapping into this creativity often requires courage, especially when self-doubt tells us we don’t have it. It takes bravery to silence the inner critic, to explore the unknown parts of ourselves, and to give ourselves permission to create without fear of judgment or failure.
Searching for your creativity is an act of self-discovery, a way of honoring the parts of you that may have been hidden for too long.
