Some people create to help fill that void in their life that they couldn’t fill in other things.
Being an artist or (as I like to say) a creative, requires you to have an active and intimate role in how you experience the world.
If you like food you want create an experience to supplicate that enjoyment of food.
A creative to me is one who wants an intimate role in the develop of something from start to finish and enjoys every part of the process even the preparations.
Develop your creative mind
