The tales you tell yourself about your creativity are up for review today. Especially those that undercut you, refuse to celebrate you, or try to convince you that your artistry isn’t worth fueling. It’s never comfortable to acknowledge the painful narratives you carry. But being honest about them is crucial to dismantling them — or, at the very least, to taking them 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.
