A Creative's Mesh of A Mind.

In case you ever wondered what goes on in the minds of creatives, or you are a creative yourself and you wonder if you are normal, this post may help with a little demystification.
This is my honest definition.
Creatives are professional mad people. Civilized psychopaths. Introverted extroverts and every other paradox available. The mind of a creative is a sacred mesh of beliefs, emotions, traits, knowledge and a whole lot of other jargons unspoken: with every single streak of thought fighting endlessly for attention. A mind drunk on the wine of dopamine and bile.
Unlike some tasks, creativity dwells solely on inspiration. Matter of fact, I like to liken a spark of inspiration to sexual intercourse. Some happen and that's it... while some lead to actual fertilization. Thereafter, you have gestation and finally, birth.
Best believe that everything that comes with actual birth except the 9-month time period comes with creativity; whatever kind it is. The hormonal imbalances especially.
That sudden rush of excitement to follow a thought through is normal.
That anger and frustration and withdrawal is normal.
That meaning you find in meaningless things is normal.
That sudden mental block where all the beauty in your ideas seem bleak and unachievable is normal.
That passion with which you dissect situations is normal.
People saying you are abnormal, is in itself normal.
You being the cat that curiosity may kill is normal.
I read somewhere today about a woman who had regrets about not enjoying her pregnancy process because she now realizes that was her chance at assisting God with a miracle.
It then hit me... every time you create something that reaches out to the human race... be it one person or the entire 7 billion, you have in your own little way helped God with a miracle.
Write that song...
Cook that recipe...
Design that website...
Design that outfit...
Work on that business idea...
Just be creative at whatever illuminates your mind.
Because, the goal is to leave the world a better place and to have contributed, in your own little way, to God's grand design.
