Creativity: Gift or Curse?
When you have that moment of euphoria where the idea seems so clear, so perfect, that you can spend hours going over it in your mind as the sole spectator of your own work, capable of envisioning it with a quality, direction, and production that companies would envy. But suddenly, when you're more than motivated to want to bring it to reality and show people what you're capable of, that's when you hit a hard, cold wall.You don't have the skill to execute it the way you'd like.
And this is my case. Clearly, compared to previous years, I've improved my level in drawing, in design, in video editing, to a certain extent in music, and even in being able to force myself to be creative when I love something.
But still, I always feel there's a chasm of skill between what I can do and what I WANT TO DO.
And add to that the fact that, as a creative person, I want to do everything, and as the saying goes: "Jack of all trades, master of none."
And this is where I start to question if being this creative is actually a good thing, because you end up tormenting yourself over not being able to do it, over not having the capital to hire someone or the skill to do it yourself.
I love and hate being creative.
Because the love makes me move and practice to give it a human soul.
But I hate it because I will always have the feeling of not being good enough to replicate it exactly as it is in my mind.

having zero creativity is fun and cool and you should try it and it causes zero suffering
That "zero suffering" is meaningless. No suffering doesnt translate to hapinness or progress. Its just an ilussion. You re gonna drown in your ow ignorance

I mean, no suffer ≠ happiness. And the life is like that, we need to suffer like we need to be happy. And maybe I just need to create, thats why is my curse
