The desire to create for creation’s sake is one of the purest drives we have as human beings. When you strip away the external pressures, the algorithms, the need for likes, shares, and monetization, you open up space for true expression. Creation becomes a way to reflect your inner world, to push boundaries, and to connect with others on a deeper, more authentic level.
