Creativity comes from within Or so we've heard time and again. But what if instead It's not in your head And your genius is really your friend?
Kyeli recently read the book Big Magic, by Elizabeth Gilbert. It’s the best book on creativity she’s ever read, and here are some of our takeaways:

Creativity comes from outside you, not within
“Nothing precious, all things sacred.” -Alanis Morissette
Being the river vs. pushing the river
The E-Myth
“Do what you love” vs. “Do what you love for a living”
The trope of the suffering artist
Buzzed Bunny (warning: far more offensive than the usual offensive shit we link to)
“I choose joy over grit.”
