We’ve all felt the existential dread after a Netflix marathon or doom-scrolling on ‘social’ media. It’s like the life just got sucked out of us. Because it did.

I believe no amount of consumption can bring us back to life. It’s creation that does that. We are here to create, not consume. Or do we think that “God created man in his own image” meant we should be consuming a whole lot all the time? No, the likeness of the creator creates things. It’s what we were born to do. And those that have a creative outlet in their lives know this: To create is to ignite magic in your life. It’s a portal to the infinite.

It’s self-inquiry, self expression, therapy, dying and being reborn wrapped into one.

And I’m not talking creation guided by KPIs, ROI and other external goals and expectations. I’m talking creation that pours forth from your soul. Your unique, infinite, formless imagination, exploded into form.

Can you imagine how beautiful our world would look like if everything was created out of the pure joy of creating? That’s the kind of world I want to live in. Let’s build it together, one creation at a time.

So if you're reading this, don't wait. Don't consume. But grab a pen, an instrument, a pencil, anything. Go create, and watch your life turn into magic.
