I’ve been there before — where the lack of making, the lack of purpose, slowly turns into
something heavier. You start reaching for distractions.
Numbing it. Drinking. Anything to quiet
the noise.

It’s art in the soul.
It’s the thing that drives you forward whether you like it or not. The thing that keeps you steady.
The thing that gives shape to the chaos.
And yes — it’s a blessing and a curse.
Because when it’s in you, you don’t really get to walk away from it.
If that tension feels familiar, the full conversation goes much deeper into it.
