What does the word creativity mean to you?
My high school Italian and Latin teacher always advised against using the word "create" because it implies bringing something into existence from nothing. So creativity to me is the Big Bang, the unexpected, the brand new, the step into the future.

Believe in your truth and beware of people's projections onto you, live the way you want to live, you're beautiful.
