Inspiration: Give Yourself Permission To Be Creative

“Most people don’t think a lot about poetry… You meet somebody and your heart explodes… Did anyone feel like this before? What is happening to me?… And that’s when art is not a luxury, it’s sustenance. We need it.”

I can’t do this video justice without simply transcribing it. Ethan Hawke is so eloquent on the subject of creativity. Personally, I create because I am absolutely compelled to. It’s what keeps me balanced, what helps me to make sense of the world, what gives me the magic of the feeling that I’m doing exactly what I am here to do. Ethan talks about how vital creativity is for healing and for hearing and understanding each other and I completely agree.

“Human creativity is nature manifest in us.”
