Depends on what creativity means to you.
For me the most creative would be the one who has been able to constantly reinvent his sound, blend genres, make music in multiple genres and execute it perfectly.
For some others, they'll choose the guy who builds entire albums around narratives, characters, and themes and is able to turn his albums into experiences.
And others would choose the guy who has the ability to turn everyday concepts into something more complex and finds fresh ways to communicate everyday struggles, ambitions and emotions that resonate deeply with the listeners.
the weird thing about reading so much as a child and gaining a huge vocabulary from that is i can't define a lot of the words i use, i just know that they would fit correctly in a specific sentence. does anyone else experience that?
This sentence by Van Gogh hits hard:
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.
there is something incredibly satisfying about reading the first page of a book, and immediately something in your brain sits up and goes 'oh, i'm going to like this' — and then every subsequent page proves you right.
nothing humbles you more than realizing how many things you once prayed for are now a part of your normal life, and you barely even notice them anymore.
Somewhere in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop, heal from what broke you, live in your own space, reconnect with your discipline, and learn to love yourself again. It’s very important that you see that journey through.
