The tales you tell yourself about your creativity are up for review today. Especially the ones that undercut you, refuse to celebrate you, and try to convince you that your artistry is not worth fueling. It’s never comfortable to admit to the narratives we carry around that are painful. But being honest about them is crucial to dismantling them. Or, at the very least, to take them way less seriously when they grab your internal mic. A journal vent, voice-note reflection, or conversation with a trusted friend can help you rewrite this story.
