Catching creativity

For the past couple of days at work I’ve been stuck doing something I’m not assigned to very often. Luckily. It’s monotone and, to be honest, painfully boring.

I can feel this droning ghost following me after work too. The absence of creativity casts a long shadow, dimming whatever spark of inspiration is left. Like a crystal without light, its prism disappears.

So I try to remind myself that even if there’s no prism to catch the eye, the crystal is still there. If I approach it from a different angle, maybe I can catch a glimpse of those beautiful colors.

One small shift to bring back some balance. To catch a little light, a little color.

Sometimes, a different angle is all we need to catch the creativity.
