We hear the word ‘creativity’ thrown around a lot, but what does being creative actually mean?
Does it involve being a painter, a poet, a musician? Does it mean toiling away under candlelight, writing the next great novel? It very well could.
But it could also mean something different: making a playlist, adding a new ingredient to the meal you’ve been making your entire adult life, writing a postcard, or even sitting at the coffee shop, watching shoes come in and out of your peripheral.
Creativity is the act of exploring and discovering. It's thinking outside the box, and about the box. Creativity is a changing, shifting energy that propels our everyday lives: even thinking about the route to work tomorrow is a form of creativity in itself.
To be creative is to engage with the world in a way that is curious, open, and imaginative. It is about problem-solving, storytelling, and finding connections where others see none. Creativity is as much about practicality as it is about beauty, as much about everyday ingenuity as it is about transcendent art.
Creativity is curiosity.
